Hey does anyone know if there are any chip mods for the tsx? If there are what kinda benefits are there and what negatives? Also anyone think of what i should get and why, im thinking tsx, a4 or 9-3.

 

The TSX has all if not more of the features that the other two have (except for a V6 and AWD in the A4) and it costs less than comprably equipped A4's and 9-3's. The TSX has a lightness that the others don't. The A-4 is made well. The SAAB isn't. It's got cheap trim bits and the shifter sucks. I had a '93 9000 that was in the shop too often. SAABs used to be unique, but now there just another division of GM.

 

hondata plans something in the summer for the tsx

 

Well let me put it this way...if you're buying a car because you admire good handling, a great interior, excellent build quality, and an amazing list of standard features get the TSX. If you want a German car with AWD, get the A4 (which does not have anywhere near the reliability, quality, fit and finish or features of the Acura. Plus it doesn't handle nearly as well b/c of a soft suspension). And I can't think of why you'd want a 9-3, it's such a "unique" car and I just am not into their interiors and gear shifters.

 

hondata will have a regular reflashed ecu and a programmable ecu due later this summer...the results from the normal reflashed ecu and an intake on the rsx dropped 1/4 mile times from high 14's to low 14's...the tsx should get a similar gain and a very impressive amount of torque (a honda engine is just better designed and doesn't require turbo's or forced induction to make power)
