Default New MDX

Wow, this section of the forum definitely isn't as lively as the Teg section. Oh well, just picked up a new Nimbus Gray MDX with the Sport and Entertainment package. Time to do some bolt ons, unfortunately all I can find thus far are the Acura parts, anyone know of anyone else making parts for it yet?

obligatory pics:

Well I put the sport running boards, roof rack and cross rails on this weekend. Much better, looks more like an SUV now. I'm having the same problem alot of others are having in that it pulls to the right, so much so if I take my hands off the wheel on the highway, I'll be in the next lane over in 3 seconds. So to service it goes, looks like it might be the OE Michilen tires causing it according to acuramdx.org.

Anyone know if a set of 285/50/18s will fit on the stock sport rims (18x8)? The 19s (19x8.5) run 275/45/19 and the overall diameter of the OE 255/55/18 michelins is the same as the 285/50/18 Yoko Advan S.T. I upsized on my durango from 275/60/17s to 285/60/17s and didn't have any problems, just worried about the backspacing on the rims so I don't rub.

They might have something on Optauto.com, you might have to wait since the '07 is a new model. I have a question, does your manual require using Premium Unleaded only?? Just curious because my Integra GS-R required Premium only, and with gas prices I want that option to use a lower grade of gas. If only they came out with a hybrid like the Lexus RX 400h.

Yeah, it's premium only, open up the gas cap and it says it there as well. I believe every Acura offered for the 07 model year is premium only. The base RSX was the last non-premium fuel Acura, I think. Don't expect to get the listed mpg with the MDX either, I get around 16-18. But I traded my Durango R/T on it and that only got 11, so I think the MDX gets decent gas mileage. I test drove the toyota/lexus hybrids, definitely not in the same league as the new MDX imo.
