MotoIQ Takes a Technical Look at APD's SPEC-equipped Acura TSX



MotoIQ took a technical look at APD's Tuner-Under Class Acura TSX. This TSX actively competes in MotoIQ's Pacific Tuner Car Championship and is the first car specifically built for the series. Before the TSX was competing in the Pacific Tuner Car Challenge, it lived out it's first 99,000 miles as a bone stock vehicle. MotoIQ takes a look at the overhaul necessary to be competitive in the series, and part of that overhaul is the addition of a SPEC lightweight flywheel and clutch.
