I'm finally letting go of my GS-R.  It's a super fun yet efficient daily driver, and can also be a cheap track toy.  It's a modern classic for a reason.  I'm the second owner and have put about 92,000 miles on it.  Here's what you need to know:
  • Paint is old and the clear coat has peeled off of most of the top of the car, though I've covered the hood in matching black 3M vinyl.  Scratches, small dents, and a couple of small rust spots as expected on an 18 year old car, but it looks great from 20+ feet away, especially on its polished 16" Rota Slipstream wheels
  • Those wheels are wrapped in Dunlop Star Specs with good tread left.  The car also comes with it's original and rare 6 spoke 15" rims with center caps, which are wearing General Altimax Arctic snow tires (making it a beast in the white stuff).
  • Clear corner indicator lenses with amber bulbs.
  • Mechanically, it runs great even at over 230,000 miles, but it's a Honda, so of course it does.  The engine revs quickly to 8000rpm and sounds great through the cold air intake, Car Sound high-flow cat, Magnaflow cat-back exhaust, and DynoMax Super Turbo muffler, yet doesn't drone or attract too much unwanted attention.
  • 26-34 observed MPG.
  • Shifter is a joy, partially thanks to Redline MTL synthetic transmission fluid
  • AC needs servicing, not sure if it's just a recharge or something bigger.
  • Clean CARFAX.
  • Small oil leak, likely a notoriously lame stock cam seal, but I've only had to top it off recently, and not until roughly 1000 miles before it's scheduled to be changed (which has been about every 7000 miles, 7500 is the factory recommendation). Mobil 1 or similar Synthetic oil only.
  • New brake pads and rotors all around (Hawk HPS pads in front) and new calipers in back.
  • The interior has held up surprisingly well, particularly the black cloth seats and soft-touch dash. 
  • Everything works except for the trip computer (won't reset to zero) and the rear window washer (wiper is fine).
  • Double din Clarion head unit with CD player, Bluetooth, and USB/iPod input routed to the center armrest bin, plus Polk Audio component and coaxial speakers front and rear.  Power antenna mast works great.
  • 3M brushed titanium wrap on the center stack, looks good but not perfect.

Title is clear, in hand. I have full maintenance records for as long as I've owned it.  Notable recent services include:

  • Timing belt and water pump- 17k miles ago
  • Windshield - 5k miles ago
  • Brake pads and rotors all around, rear calipers - 2k miles ago
  • Battery - Last week

2019 Acura MDX refresh brings some sharp enhancements

Tue, Jul 17 2018

The outgoing Acura MDX has nothing to be ashamed of, but the thing about refreshes is that the engineers and product teams always have something to fine tune. Some of it is planned in advance — the cosmetic upgrades and the A-Spec trim were probably always part of the product roadmap. But there are also some tweaks that seem to be a response to customer feedback. Let's take a closer look. Most important, some of the goodies reserved only for the old Sport Hybrid will now be available on all MDXs. Notably, the Active Damper System — a continuously adjustable valve that controls the flow of hydraulic fluid within the damper — is available on non-hybrid MDXs for the first time. The system has several settings, from plush to firm. We found this system worked very well on the Sport Hybrid during our first drive, so it's a useful upgrade that buyers will be able to readily appreciate. Next up is an A-Spec appearance trim, which looks sportier but doesn't offer any additional performance or comfort features, just like the rest of Acura's A-Spec models at this point. For the MDX, wider 20-inch wheels and a combination of gloss black and "dark chrome" trim compliment a revised front fascia and grille. Inside, the seats get a mix of Alcantara and leather with contrasting stitching, there are unique gauges, sport pedals, and a thicker steering wheel. It looks decent enough, particularly inside, and there's enough there to make the trim stand apart from the more pedestrian trims. Oh, and there's an exclusive color: Apex Blue Pearl. A quick aside on prices: The base MDX without SH-AWD runs an MSRP of $45,295, and the A-Spec (only available with SH-AWD) is $55,795. Normal MDXs get a few more color options, although they'll cost extra: Majestic Black Pearl, Performance Red, and Canyon Bronze Metallic. One no-cost color option that's new is Gunmetal Metallic. Inside, there are some additional interior options, like Desert Olive Ash wood trim, contrasting seat stitching, and standard 4-way power lumbar adjustment on the front seats. Advance Package MDXs get wider 20-inch wheels, too. And now on to those tweaks and enhancements that might not have been planned a long time ago in a product meeting far away. The engine stop/start function has been tweaked to be smoother and quicker, thanks to an upgraded brake sensor and some software tweaks.

eBay Find of the Day: S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Acura MDX from The Avengers

Wed, 27 Nov 2013

Planning to dress up as Agent Coulson for Halloween next year? We've got the perfect accessory to complete your Level 7 costume. On eBay Motors at this very moment is an auction for an Acura MDX S.H.I.E.L.D vehicle, one of only 10 made that the seller claims was used in filming of The Avengers.
The crossover is being sold by Scottsdale Motor Company, and while the eBay auction is up to nearly $19,000 with less than four days remaining (at the time of this writing), the dealer's website is asking $42,900 for this piece of movie memorabilia.
What you see is no mere prop, though. This S.H.I.E.L.D. vehicle is a proper 2011 MDX, equipped with the available Technology Package and leather from the factory. The flat black paint was even applied by Acura itself, and the graphics were added by the film studio's art department.

2015 Acura TLX production gets underway in Ohio

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

It's been three months since Acura unveiled the supposedly production-ready TLX sedan at the New York Auto Show, but dealers have yet to receive any units to sell. That's because, as we reported back in April, production of the TLX was pushed back. We're glad to report now, however, that production has commenced at the Marysville Auto Plant in Ohio.
The Honda facility in Marysville, just south of Columbus, also produces the Accord sedan and coupe for local consumption and export. With over 30 years since its founding, the factory has previously handled production of the Acura TL and RDX as well as the company's Gold Wing motorcycles.
The Marysville Auto Plant is one of many facilities which Honda operates in Ohio. Among the others, you'll also find the East Liberty assembly plant that handles the Acura RDX as well as the Honda Crosstour and CR-V, an engine plant in Anna, a transmission factory in Russells Point, several R&D centers, component manufacturers and a new Performance Manufacturing Center being built to handle the coming NSX sports car in Marysville.
