I have done a lot of research on this company and actually received a phone call from one of the owners about my questions. That alone makes me think that the company takes care of its customers. For those of you that have the reflash, I want it just to have some fun in the sportshift mode. I would rarely ever run my engine above 7000 rpm. But if I want to have some fun and hold it in 3rd gear around town would I notice the extra pull between 5000 and 70000 rpm? I would like to hear about the real world driving impressions from the ones that have had it done. Thanks!

With the lowered vtec point, you'll definitely feel a difference in performance. In fact, above 5000 rpm is will be where you feel it most. The power available is more useable since you don't have to rev the engine as high to reach vtec.
 
Also, given the power-sapping characteristics of automatic transmissions, I'd say it may be even more important for AT owners to get the reflash.
 
You're right about Hondata. They definitely take care of their customers, and are very responsive to queries.
 
Overall impression of the reflash? Increased performance across the board with no penalty, except maybe fuel economy (you'll find yourself mashing the throttle a lot more )

2006 Navigation Hack by bananafusion

I did a search for it on here, and didn't see it mentioned yet, but the 2006 TSX now has a navigation hack to change the splash screen from Acura's to any image you want. It's based off a 2006 Civic hack, only changing some file names http://www.guicide.com/cars/2006civic/nav/hacks/
 
I put the details here: http://binaryfusion.net/navhack.html
 
Just thought I'd share.

Acura TSX and Snowtires by habrams

Hi all,
 I just bought my '07 TSX in May. I want to get snows for the winter (live in New England). Can anyone tell me if the car sounds an ongoing alert if you put snows on without tire pressure monitoring sensors? I would rather save the $200, but don't want the car beeping at me for 4 months! Basically, I want to know what the car will do if I have tires on w/o the TPMS. Thanks.

AFAIK, the car should flash at you for a few seconds after you start the vehicle, then it should go away, knowing there are no sending units nearby... but that's on the aftermarket ones from what i've seen...
