Timely topic; haven't driven my car in a few days and (I think) the battery is dead. I have a Porsche-branded trickle charger I bought a few years ago and actually never used, and wondering if I should just finally learn how to use it. I think there is an adapter available for it to plug...

I don't have any data or metrics to base this hypothesis on, but I just get the sense that the "tuning culture" has toned down dramatically since its heyday. There are a lot of reasons for that that I won't get into in this forum post. A thesis is a more appropriate venue for that. But what I...

Yes, the spoon style is also under heavy consideration. In any case, you can tell Chris that his work for you got him at least one new customer. I'm not entirely sure exactly when I'll place the order (I'm just not driving my car much at all right now...), but it will be placed. SO many great...

Holy shit. Browsing through the site, the closest I can come to this one is this OEM Plus Ti sphere for the Civic... is this one just a one-off he did for you? The OEM Plus is great; the amount of customization options is insane and amazing (there's even an option for Type S engraving for this...

I'm wholly uninterested in a tune. Yeah, I probably should have specified it's of the same family, but saying "has this engine" pretty much implies it is the exact same... I knew that the engine was "racified" for the FL5/DE5 but the underlying platform is shared. This happens in a lot of...

Lots of good conversation going on in here. Unfortunately it all centers around the fact that these cars are starting to really show their flaws. Overall though I think it's a larger industry/global economy thing that's also been touched on already. TL;DR, it isn't just an Acura thing. I've...

Yeah if you like alcantara it's kind of a no-brainer on these cars. That said, I also had a 718 GTS with the GTS interior package, but the alcantara wheel option was deleted (i.e., it had a leather wheel). As much as I like alcantara, my wife uses hand lotion pretty profusely and loved to drive...

Quick question- have you tried cleaning the wheels? I say this because I can't really tell from the pics if it's actual damage... and I will tell you that the couple times I brought my car in for swapping tires on the OEM wheels they left a TON of messy glue-like residue on the wheels and tires...

Another very important tip- really the only way to screw up alcantara is to use too much force or abrasive materials when cleaning. If you have actual stains or excessive dirt, that's the time to bust out the Sonax- do NOT attempt to rub profusely! That is a quick way to ruin a $300... or in my...

Just clean it whenever you clean your interior and you'll be fine. https://www.alcantara.com/cleaning-maintenance/how-clean-alcantara/

Generally speaking, if something of mine is quoted I'll probably reply. This forum features a notification feature that lets you know these things in the top right corner. I'm assuming you know this, as quickly as you replied. Definitely try to have a nice day. Most of the US is getting some...

You didn't, but it was implied that I did. So I'm just clarifying where the bar could be set for "track car", if we're focusing on semantics. None of this matters and has become pretty boring. Can we move on now?

I've seen some forum threads where people who work in insurance have mentioned that carriers have tightened up their verbiage specifically around "performance driving" events. Some have even implied that it's dangerous to even ask... I don't know about that second part, but I personally wouldn't...

There are tons of great resources out there, but hopefully someone local to you can chime in more specifically for your area. It might be off season right now but you're far enough south there are probably still events ongoing; but I'd send you to https://www.motorsportreg.com/ to look for...

The engine tuning and lack of TPMS I'd disagree with being track "features"... LogR and the seats sure. But really, it's marketing. Let's all be honest here. We're circling the point, but let me just come out with it. Here are a few examples of "track cars", according to the strictest sense of...

I mean, fair point but in that sense what's your bar for entry into "track car" category? I guess a Porsche GT product would qualify, but if we're picking nits to this degree any non-CS spec M car, 911 Carrera, Camaro SS, Supra, Toyobaru twins, etc. etc.; none of these are "track cars" but...

lol. I think we agree for the most part. It's a great car, and the fact that it's half or less the price of some of these other cars we're talking about is icing on the cake. And I do appreciate the Camaro, I'd just never own one.

lol, you're forgiven. Different strokes for different folks, but you have to expect a counterpoint with a take like that. I'm not here to argue it's perfect either, in fact I'm pretty sure I just said earlier it's not to the point I'm gonna need another car to scratch my RWD itch... but let's...

^This, right here. This is the most concise reason I'd agree wholeheartedly that the ITS is an amazing track car and arguably "better" than any of the cars previously mentioned for that purpose. Subjective indeed. It's pretty clear you like big, heavy, numb cars on track... with the weird...

I remember you got your car about a week before I got mine. I'm right at the 10k mark myself too. Great to hear it has staying power for you, especially considering the other gems in your garage. I pretty much feel the same way about the car, still love driving it and looking at it. Personally I...
