New TLX owner checking in
hi everyone, just picked up my 2015 Canadian model TLX tech package w/oem kit.
last year I bought a 2010 TSX, white, 6spd. while I liked the car, and de-uglified it, I was plagued with the everlasting VTC problem. I was about to add some rims and drop it but after Acura changing the VTC 5 times with still no solution I decided to get out of it. I always had my eye on the TLX but they weren't out yet when I bought the TSX. been driving acuras since I was 16, I built an integra that had a built motor I put together myself and turbo'd it, suspension and basically everything. anyways pics:
so long TSX:

hello TLX tech

i'll be picking up some clean looking 20's soon, and I have a buddy who owns one of the best import parts shops in Ontario researching a quality coilover setup for me now.
I plan on taking it for a nice drive this weekend up the Niagara falls back roads to get a feel for the car and break it in. i'll be sure to walk with my camera.

The white car addiction is strong
I come from a history of white cars and I find it hard to go with other color options.
Were you considering any other colors before deciding to go with white?

Go back to CSi you bum
LOL it is. actually i prefer cars with an actual color, ive always liked white but my integra is teal green, i had an RSX that was black (i detail as a hobby and owning a black car really does suck lol looks fantastic when it's clean). i wish they made the TLX in a milano red. i would have gotten that but the white looks sharp!The white car addiction is strong

thanks! i actually have never owned another brand outside of acura/honda. i have my mom to thank for that, she bought a brand new milano red integra back in 1994, ever since that i've been hooked. i've driven many different brands and personally Acura just sticks with me. i've crossed shopped many cars and for me the TLX checked off all the boxes. first car was my Integra that i got when i was 16 which i still have, then i drove many integras for daily duty, a few civics for winter beaters, bought a RSX that i made look like a DC5R but unfortunally got into a big accident with it and wrote it off (loved that car) then the TSX which was acura certified used, and now that TLX, my first brand new car
for mods, this car has a lot of things already that i feel it doesn't need to much, keep in mind this is my everyday car. i like the clean look, so drop with a nice set of wheels will go a long way imo. aside from that, i find that the subwoofer in the TLX is lacking, the sub in the TSX was much better which is weird to me because it only had the premium system instead of the higher end ELS system. i don't want to rattle my teeth out with bass but i think that 1 10" will be more than enough, i'm still thinking about how to go about this, if i can fit a small box and squeeze a single 10" in that compartment in the trunk or to get a shallow box; or i might make a fiberglass custom box to fit the contour of the corner of the trunk and wrap it in black suede. i'll tap off the OEM sub and use it as a pre-out, that way i can still control the sub from the oem deck.
wuddup dumbass! lolol want to go for a cruise on saturday morning?Go back to CSi you bum
one question for you guys, my outside temp isn't giving me a read out, it just says "---oC" am i missing something here? didn't see how to display it in the manual.

Sounds as though it needs to be adjusted or the sensor is bad.
Here's the pages in the owners manual where to adjust.

took it back to the original dealer today (about 40mins away). turns out that a clip wasn't holding it in from when they took the bumper off to install the OEM kit, but it's back and working now. i also gave it an oil change after breaking in the motor. not needed but after i built my brand new motor for the integra, the first oil change you can see specks of metal in the oil from machining. acura did it for free anyway. also picked up my weather tech mats.
