This is just a very low tech screw on replacement valve stem cap. No electronic at all. If your tire pressure is below a certain psi, the top will change from green to yellow and finally red if way too low. I haven't played with it to see how low the psi’s need to be before it changes to yellow. I think some type of TPMS will be mandatory for all new autos in a few years. I found these on the internet because I prefer to click/order compared to driving to a brick/mortar. http://garage-toys.com/tireminder.html |

Hi all, Just got a new 2006 TSX 6 spd w/ Navi. I am coming to the Acura family after having owned a few new automobiles - BMW 328i w/ Dinan, Mazda MX-5 6spd, and Accord V6 Navi Coupe - - so far the TSX does a nice job of blending the strengths of all those vehicles. Can't wait for the break in period to be over already. The bluetooth feature (Nokia E61) has been outstanding. Looking forward to contributing and learning from the forums. Happy Driving! TJ

I just crossed my break-in period, 600 miles and just want to mention i got a decent MPG within this period of 26 mpg mixed city/highway with A/C all the time. Hope to see my mileage gets even better. Enjoy your TSX! cheers!

Replying to: abhiutd (Aug 16, 2006 7:00 pm) I hardly drive these days due to my career and all I need is a fun light semi-tossable car for the weekends. Regarding the E61, you might want to check out E-series.org for some fun/useful software. I had the chance to take the car for a 100 mile trip through some nice winding roads today. Good ride overall but the suspension does seem to get a bit iffy when it meets a bump or some other irregularity while you are cornering. Loving the stick shift! BTW, I am trying to get a side guard for this car - Acura does not carry one for the TSX. The one from the RL does not fit due to the door curvature and the TL won't match in terms of color. Has anyone gone the aftermarket route? Thanks, TJ

Replying to: johnny420 (Aug 17, 2006 2:25 pm) Welcome to 2006+. It's called Safety, and Technology. They have weight associated with them unfortunately. TSX: 3345lbs 325i RWD: 3285 A4 2.0T FWD: 3450 IS250 RWD: 3435 C230 RWD: 3405 Turn any of those competitors into their AWD variants and the TSX gains a 200lb weight advantage minimum.

Replying to: stlcarguy (Aug 17, 2006 6:06 pm) The closest analogy I can draw is when you drive an MX-5 with the top down it feels like you are driving at twice the speed. I guess what I am trying to get across, rather poorly, is how something "feels" can change your perception of reality. TJ |

Replying to: ego29iste (Aug 17, 2006 12:45 pm) To maximize the TSX’s potential will require a higher performance tire. Adding a lowered A-spec or Tein suspension, thicker rear sway bar along with 17 or 18 inch performance tires will improve the TSX’s already great handling without compromising the ride quality too much. I don’t know, adding side molding to the TSX may distort the already great looking lines and profile of the car. I hear what you are saying; I’ve already got one ding on the passenger side door exactly where the side molding would be at. I just wax and buffed it out the best I could and now park further away (I need the exercise any way). |
