No. I secured it with straps.

T 125/80-18. It's the correct OD.

Thanks, I will keep that in mind.

Brand new compact spare kit for Integra Type S. I mounted it only one time to confirm proper fit. Comes with compact jack with saddle to fit the weld seam. Also includes lug nuts with correct seat for wheel. It is a well designed package. Cost was $430, will sell for $250 plus shipping.

OE shifter?

Most times that I have touched up small scratches, the fix was more noticeable than the damage. I would either buff and polish it as is, or pay a pro to fix it.

First, a disclosure. My first experience at sports car mods was with a 1974 Datsun 260Z that I bought new for $5,500. So yes, I'm old, 76 at last count. After installing a 3X 2 barrel side draft Solex intake, headers, cam and valve job, the power was substantial, and totally screwed up the...

Almost every street tire that I had on track was best at +/- 38 psi. I have no track experience with front drivers, and I expect the front weight bias might need something different. As you have done, just experiment. If it's a hot day, you might want to bleed off some pressure first thing.

Consider this regarding tires. The Civic R comes with Sport Cup 2 tires, which all the car rags say makes such a huge difference compared to the PS 4s on the ITS. The difference is about 5 seconds on the 4 mile VIR Grand course. Is that a meaningful difference? In a competitive environment yes...

Twice a year? Fill it with gas, use good brake fluid and drive to the track. The car's limits are pretty high. If you fully utilize the stock car you will be driving well.

Probably.

The rev match programming is obviously not the same with all makes, maybe not even within a make. My car has not demonstrated any rev overhang upshifting, and the rev match downshifting is very satisfactory. Shifting technique might need some adjustment for different cars, but I haven't found...

I have not checked the alignment, but I plan to soon. Not because I find fault with it, just something I do with any new car. I've removed the front strut assembly pins, so I might gain a half degree camber. If I were doing track stuff with it, I would take a deeper dive into the alignment. But...

Your points are well taken. I'm trying to discipline myself to be as content with the car as you. I still struggle with the front drive thing, although I must admit, this one is very good, although the basic differences in dynamics remain. I've certainly been guilty of being a serial trader, and...

I think it depends on your uses. I believe the car is extremely well set up from the factory, and the power level is spot on for the OE suspension tune. When I was setting up street cars for the track, most were not as well put together as the ITS, and I was lucky to end up with something as...

It's really not a matter of better or inferior, but simply the dynamics of a 320 hp front driver and a 480 hp rwd. I'm an old fart, and my experience is with high hp rwd sports cars. The handling characteristics of the 2 platforms is drastically different near the limit, but not consequential...

I drove Caddy CT4V Blackwing today. It is a great car, and maybe my next car. I really believe it is a better driver's car than the current BMW M cars.

I can hardly think of two more different cars. Yes, if the M850i pleases you, then the Integra is off the plate. I can sympathize with you, as I come from a background of high HP rear drive cars, although more sports oriented than the M850i, such as, Cayman, GT3, ZO6, etc. I thought of getting...

So, what's the word on your new car's engine mode setting?

Yep, odd. I notice that you are in Canada. Is it possible that emission regs there could preclude this feature?
