Love my 2006 TSX. The only thing that could be improved on the car is taller gearing, better sound proofing, and a tighter turning radius (turns worse than a bus). Oh, and VTEC should activate sooner than 6k RPM. When shifting at the redline around 7k, the revs fall below VTEC activation so the engine is sluggish again until building back up to 6k. It should have been designed to activate at 5k.
How hard would it be to change out the FD? Would love to get the revs down. 1st gear is so low that I can't imagine the car being difficult or sluggish to drive with a taller FD. Too much torque off the line anyhow.
