Haven't posted on here in a while. I went to the NW Toy Run this year and it was insane. There was about 1000 cars there throughout the day. Also had a small shoot with my buddy after we got back.
Met up with a local TSX member at a Park and Ride garage for a little photoshoot on one of the last nice days in the Northwest. Hope you guys like them
Thanks. Yeah I'm not too crazy about the 330 either, especially the way it drives. It's bone stock and the clutch is extremely long and extremely soft which makes for a very unsporty driving experience. Overall, I would say the TSX is a much better car than the 330 by far.
A couple days ago I decided to have a little photo shoot with my friend at Alki in Seattle. Didn't get very many shots because my camera died so I'll try to get some more soon.
I replaced my clutch master cylinder with an Omni Power clutch master cylinder and replaced my slave cylinder with an longer adjustable pushrod. That Omni Power CMC is ridiculously stiff. I may have to try and get a Tilton instead.
How much stiffer would you say it is? Way too stiff for daily driving?
Well for a lot of people, I guess they might feel that the stock clutch doesn't really bite at a specific point. But basically, on some slave cylinders, there's a check valve that slows down the fluid return which slows down the clutch. If you take that out, you get much better shifts and the clutch action is a lot faster. In the case of the 8th gen Civics, people have reported that it really helps get rid of grinds. However, I looked on my slave cylinder and it doesn't have it so I don't know what other K series transmissions it applies to. From what I know, it's mostly a J series thing.
Also I need someone to help me with clutch bleeding. I have am going to use my friend pump thingy to keep pressure while I bleed it, but where is the bleeder screw on the v6 6mt. And how do I know I am doing it right?
I actually just did my clutch yesterday. It might be hard to reach the bleeder screw on the slave cylinder. I know on mine, the bleeder screw is in the most inconvenient position with pretty much no way to reach it.
Isn't there also a check valve on the slave cylinders of most Hondas that you can take out to make the clutch a lot less vague? You might look into that if you're a spirited driver.
Thanks man. I still miss my CM but I've got some stuff planned for the TSX. Should be some small updates soon and some big ones around summer time. Hopefully everything goes as planned!
I might have to try it out sometime. I just go to the gym 4-6 days a week to work out. Getting pretty good results right now, gaining a lot more mass and strength.
Always wondered about P90x. My friend does it and said it really works, he said he's gotten a lot stronger and bigger. Let us know your results from it
Well it has to be a pretty fast walk. The Iron Gym could deffinitely help convert fat to muscle. Just make sure you vary the grips you use so you're not working out only one group of muscles. You could also do push-ups and crunches since you don't have access to a gym at the moment.
