The TSX is it's own car I believe...it is also the European/Japanese Accord. On a sidenote, the RSX is going away...its sales have dropped noticeably with the intro of the lower priced-yet-equal performance Civic Si.
 
RIP RSX.

The TSX is built on the same chassis as the USDM Accord and the TL. Different tuning obviously.

yah, its all about tuning.. =[
I just assumed it was the same frame.
Maybe not Civic Si
but I saw a Civic, and I saw a TSX parked right next to eachother
and they were so nearly identical in width and length and windshield rake, etc etc, that I just assumed they had the same frame

Just to be anal retentive - it's based on the same platform. Unibodies don't have frames.

Haha, call it "detail-oriented", and consider yourself proud.

Cleaning Accord aluminum wheels by janl

Would anybody suggest a preparation or an efficient way to clean aluminum wheels on my 2003 Accord EX V6 from the black brake dust? The typical detergent and/or soft brush scrubbing doesn't do much and even after extensive efforts these wheels look dirty...

The brake dust may have etched the clear coat and won't come off easily.
 
Try getting some automotive clay and lubricant and try that.

Agree. Detailers clay works great on stubborn wheels. Just make sure the wheels you use it on are clear coated. Use a piece of clay near the end of its useable life (useable life on paint, that is)...I wouldn't use a nice new piece.
