Last night at midnight i got back from a trip from New York City. After living in this country for seven years i finally got the chance to visit The Big City. And let me tell you, it was a great experience. They drive like maniacs in that city. The cab driver from the airport was russian and i thought we were going to crash at least 7 times in 30 minute drive. I am from Miami, and i thought people in miami were crazy drivers but ohhh nooo NYC takes the price. They honk for everything, the streets are horrible, i dont know how people can drive lowered cars in that city. Well here are some pictures i took.
This is three cars turning right from a one lane one way street at the same time.
Gas prices are extremely high compared to Florida.
Is it that bad that you need a rubber mat to protect your bumper from people parking behind you? Apparently it is. This guy went the cheap way. I saw other cars with metal bumpers in front of the regular bumpers in the front and back and they weren't even trucks.
Anyway, i had a great time but i don't think i could live in this city. Shout out to all the New Yorkers out there i give you props.

This city sucks. For gas, Those are manhattan prices at a full service station. If you go into the outer boroughs and get self service, you can find gas $0.40 cheaper.
The driving is normal here. Everybody drives like dog shit and you have to be defensive all the time. It really blows.

Truth. That's why I try and avoid NYC like the plague. Its either be aggressive or overly defensive to make it out of there in one piece.

There are bad drivers everywhere. Different areas have their own unique variety. I still love visiting Manhattan though. I prefer to drive in the city late at night.

Let me tell you though, I also did not see ONE accident in the three days I was there. So it seems like yeah they drive crazy but they KNOW how to do it. In Miami you see at least two accidents every time you go out.

Fender benders are resolved quickly with a $100 bill. No need to get anybody involved. LoL.
Cabbies can't drive for shit....I can attest to that. They drive like the city is their personal obstacle course.

My TSX Intake Manifold arrived today
However, to my surprise when i opened the box this was also inside. The question is, what is it exactly?(i know the IM attaches to it and it might be the injector base?). Will it fit my car? How will it benefit me or hurt me? Or should i just leave the oem accord one?

No need to swap the injector base. The TSX and Accord injector base is the same exact part.

Great. Thanks Tim. Now is there any advantage to having two injector bases? Should i just try to sell it? Or is there anything i can do to it that will improve anything in the car?

Nothing that you would really notice. Sell it if you don't want it taking up space.

What about porting the runners? I read something somewhere about that but im not even sure how that works or what it does. What do you think?
Edit: I just found this.

It would only be useful if you port matched your head to the injector base. If you just port the runners and not the intake ports of the head, they will not be "matched" and there will be a lip on the head. That lip will create turbulence and it will hurt performance. It's not really worth it if you're only going to do half the work.
