Default Some pics of my daily

Hi All,

Just a few shots of my daily. It's a 2004 Acura TSX A-Spec.

All feedback's welcome!

Not trying to troll on a fellow Canadian....but.

Nothing A-spec about this car except the lip kit.

I'd bet money that you do not have the following:

A-spec suspension upgrade
A-spec smoke crome twin-5spoke wheels with the specific P215/50VR17 michelin pilot sport tires

Also its obvious, you do not have the A-spec decklid spoiler (but you have the wing)
and the A-spec trunk badge that you get when you have all the upgrades.

You also do not have the optional foglights, which were "sometimes" installed on full A-spec kitted cars at the dealer.

There's your feedback.. I guess.

Not an A-spec car. Just a stock TSX with the optional lip kit.

I think I know a thing or two.

You called your daily TSX an "A-spec" and I called you out on it, because clearly it isn't.

You wanted feedback. There it is.

You have been here long enough to know you don't say **** about your car that isnt true.

Regardless. As a daily, a TSX is great. If it's 6-speed, even better.

Dear Mr. Licensed Acura Technician,

A-spec kit had, front and rear lip, and sideskirts and a CHOICE of either deck or wing spoiler. They also came with lengthier exhaust tips. Pretty sure my car has all of 'em

Re: suspension. What year is my TSX? 2004. How bad are the roads in Toronto? Pretty darn bad. The suspension has been completely(shock, spring, bushings) replaced three times in the life of the car by Acura. Twice they replaced it with the original A-spec shock and spring and the third time by MY request it was replaced with the NON-Aspec shock and springs.

I hate bumpy and noisy rides, especially for my daily thus figured going back to the original non A-spec was a good idea, which so far it has been.

"Optional" foglights, like you said were an OPTION....

Chrome 2 spoke wheels are sitting in my basement as the wheels in the picture are steelies on Michelin X-ice 3's. BTW the Aspec came with 225/45/17 and not 215/50/17

A-spec trunk badge? Stolen.

Regardless, we are talking about a 12k car, there is absolutley no reason for me to lie about the trim as either way it's a 11 year old car.

Which dealership do you work at btw? Just so I can tell my friends to avoid in the future?

Thanks

Oh, you're getting personal now. ok sure bud.

I've heard less "stories" and "excuses" from a 10 year old.

Enjoy your drive to work in your base-TSX.

Have a nice day.

TSX is a great all around car. My father has an 05 and it's been nothing but reliable/fun/easy to own.

IS this one a 5at or 6MT.. Id like to own an 08 6MT.
