Just came back from checking out the GLI. Nice but the high cowl was annoying. In addition, I was told that VW is really cracking down on the mods (read:chips) commonly done to turbos. Ouch!

Want to take the '06 TSX for a ride. What kind of engine/suspension upgrades are available for the auto tranny TSX?

Any recommended manufacturer websites?

Thanks!

TSX is only good for looks and it handles well but the accord could also handle very good if the suspension are upgraded and as far as power tsx w/ IHE will not beat a v6 6 speed accord. and also talking about tsx has hids well a lot of ppl dont car about that anymore since they could do a retrofit on their headlights now a days.

well if you were to spend that money on suspension mods on the tsx, it will still out handle the 7th gen accord. power isn't always everything, some people prefer handling. the 7th gen is bloated and will never be as nimble as a tsx. now if you are talking about power, its a no brainer that the accord will win out.

as far as the interiors go.. the fully loaded accord is just as nice, if not nicer than the tsx's.. they both share most features. i also prefer the tsx styling over the accord.

i don't like these after 6th gen accords, they have a big ass and a big fat head. maybe if by the time i do get a new car they drop a better looking accord, i'll duke it out with them. i mean an engine's an engine, right? but if i can't look at it without wanting to vomit, bleh. the TSX is super sexy...damn, why can't they make them like the 6th gen again. it's that nice look between sporty and luxery. the fat >6gen accords are...fat!

IN the UK they hab left hand driver Accord Euro R floating around, or even the Accord Type S , which is replacing the Euro R model. The Euro R has a K20A and the Type S has a K24A but both have a 6MT. Order one from there.There not that expensive.
