Got rid of my RSX and picked up a RDX yesterday as my daily driver. Was in the market for a compact SUV for a while now. Thing is a blast to drive.

 

hell yeah a new car to pickup parts for your project caR

 

IMO, one of the most under rated SUV's in the market. I have been thinking lately about picking one up. Any future plans for it?

I don't like the spongy feel of the brakes, so I'm hoping some new pads will fix that. The rims are horrible also so hopefully I can find something that will look right.

 

way to go jermz!

Too bad it can't tow crap hahaha

 

wow

 

i wanted one since they day they came out and also the bigger brother MDX but they are just too much for my budget but even w/o the tech package its alot of bang for the buck.

maybe one day but for now im staying w/ my zoom-zoom variant

 

RDXs sucks, and the color you chose sucks.

J/P - I got one too. I also have the front spoiler and rear diffusser. This is a machine that can kick some major *** on the twisties. Pulls like a monster for a 4300LB CUV.

 

People say that rating it at 240hp isn't accurate.


Also, what engine does the RDX have?

 

k23a1

These people dynoed an RDX and disabled the driveshaft, which resulted in a higher whp rating.
I'm not sure if the RDX is an underrated vehicle.

I've read several times from others that Acura underated it...and is really making 260ish rather then 240.

Engine is a K23A1.

 

Welll they had to change the horsepower rating system to fit a new standard in 2007. So this car may be a little underrated rather then the "over rated" power that it had before.

Also that video I wouldn't trust as a reliable source since the drive shaft is disconnected.

 

It definitely feels faster then the 240hp rating. But, they still need to do something about the off-boost response. 0-60 is fast, but the 0-30 part of it just dog slow, it's like the purposely retard it when you step on it off the line. Anyone done anything yet to try and remedy this, higher stall torque convertor?

it's slow, so when i know i need it to pick up, i throw it in to S mode and play with the paddle shifters. Even though the shifting isn't as smooth an quick as it should be, it picks up a lot faster than it would in D mode.

and of course disconnecting the driveshaft to the rear wheels should yield a higher whp. Throw it on to a 4wheel dyno to see more accurate numbers.

 

nicee looks real good!
