Got a new 1:1 toy

[kazi]

After three months waiting my new car is here:dance:

Is the coolest car I've ever had, [

 

[mcvickj]

Looks nice. What is it?

 

[jon2]

isn't that the TSX?

 

[kazi]

Yes, in USA is sold as an ACCURA TSX but in Europe is sold as Honda Accord.

 

[FRIDGE]

that thing is hot

 

[Skyline Racer]

can't see the pics, AHHH

 

[GilBeQuick]

What's are the power/speed specs for it over there in Europe?

 

[kazi]

Is a V.Tec 2.4 engine, 190Hp. I think that the american car is about 210hp. but in Europe we don't use those big engines like you. Petrol here is expensive, 4.1 $ per gallon.I really like the V.Tec engine, is more powerful tahtn the one I got in the past but the fuel consumption is lower.

Not bad dude,

I've owned and tuned a variatble plethora of various Honda/Acuras over the years. I'm done with naturally aspirated 4ycyl's for a plethora of reasons.

In Europe where gas is expensive as sin you've gotta love a car with good power that's reliable as sin and still gets good gas mileage. Enjoy it. IMHO Honda engineers are the best on the planet bare none. Now maybe they can stop trying to squeeze every ounce of power out of a 4cyl and make their cars ALMOST as safe as they are reliable.

Well I took a look to the safety crash tests before buying it and is not worst than other models from same size, is not the best but is between the good ones. anyway that hurts.

That pisses me off, lol. It just confuses the hell out of me. Acura is only American made cars do I guess there are gonna be some changes when Honda sell to other. Like Canada, A Civic Si there is Civic SiR.

As far as I'm concerned, the only difference is in HP, what I don't understand is why they sell the car with two different brands.

Hey Kazi, Wasn't trying to hurt ya or imply that Honda and Acruas are dangerous by any means.Unlike some of the new Hondas you've got yourself a sweet looking ride. I love the interior on those and I was happy with the power band one that I took for a ride @ my buddies dealership.

I'm not hurt, I wasn't in that car .

Doesn't confuse me at all...but what pisses me off is that in Japan, they got some badass cars that we will NEVER have!

Yeah it's a shame how many bad ass rides over in Japan never have and probably never will c these shores. If/when we do c them it's always a scaled down power version. Hell, you can buy real RX-7's off the showroom pumping 400+hp @ the wheels. THe idea in Japan is that you have a car fast enough to drive through the pollution so you can actually c.

Kazi - How do you like the power on that car??
