I think there's a few folks on the forum who are running similar if not more aggressive setups with no issues. That green is... interesting. @Integra23 is this the green you were talking about??

I think the only mod I would let the dealer do at this point is an Alcantara steering wheel. I think they have a policy where they don't install aftermarket parts anyway. Thanks for posting the technical details.

I was concerned about the humidity, that has to be it. I'll try another layer this weekend, it's supposed to be perfect weather anyway. I did take a few pics in my shady driveway this evening. I can't see any haze at all in these photos, and clearly the car looks fantastic. (I also got my...

I've been an advocate for AmmoNYC for a while now, been using Larry's products since at least 2015. Also I can see how easily you could spend thousands once you factor in the tools he sells. I'm not sure if they're overpriced or not but I will admit I paid about $200 for an orbital buffer and it...

Thanks for this, it's helpful to have a translator for the oil geek verbiage that ultimately does not matter to me. I just don't want junk going in my engine if I can help it. And yeah, the Porsche tax is now very, very real. I had always taken all my Porsches to the same dealer for service...

Tell me more about this special Honda oil. I saw this referenced this morning on the Civic forums, specifically, "Honda Leo" oil or something like that... but Google didn't do much for me. I've heard it's actually pretty good, but I want more confidence that my local Acura dealer won't stare...

I thought Canadians were supposed to be super nice.

Agreed, a rear sway bar is another option to dial out understeer. I may do that as well, but I really want to try the camber. I'll also throw out there that I did not adequately play with tire pressures. That probably could have made enough of a difference for me to not notice the understeer at...

I don't think you'll run into "issues" per se, but I mildly regret doing the springs because I didn't take the appropriate steps to "correct" some of the negative sides of lowering the car. It was inevitable that I was going to lower the car but I probably should have just waited to do it all at...

I see absolutely zero need for an intercooler on this platform, unless your sole use case is drag racing and you're going for 350+ horsepower. There has been enough evidence at this point that basically incriminates aftermarket intercoolers in all sorts of overheating issues for track use. The...

This forum's notifications are weird, I actually didn't see your post where you showed the dents... I thought you were just aimlessly wandering accord forums and stumbled across a dent thread lol. That is crazy! But... there HAS to be some sort of explanation, right?

So quick update. I did finally get around to getting the car in to the dealer to at least have record that I tried to get this issue looked at. Spoiler alert, the noise is not gone but there were a couple notable things as this will be a developing story: - I suggested/offered that I take a...

If I got my blood pressure up for every random issue someone has on the internet...

This thread is over a year old. There have been numerous complaints about the install of the front emblems. Misaligned panels, broken clips, noises/rattles- I'd encourage anyone considering these to consider all of this deeply. Personally, I like the look of the black emblems but I like the...

Christ, this thread again? Basic forum decor is to check this post date of the thread/post you're responding too. This know-it-all YouTube clown moved on 10 minutes after a fact check "burst his bubble", because there are literally NO factory options on this car so there isn't a point in a...

Especially Acura. Aside from the NSX-which from what I understand requires specific techs trained and certified on that car specifically which is an extremely low production volume model so may as well not even exist really- there is no other car that could be labeled an enthusiast car in their...

Any track usage? That will accelerate rear brake wear like a mfkr unless VSA is disabled. If you don't know what any of that means but you took it to a track, that explains everything. If you plan to continue going to the track, then consider disabling VSA. Just google "pedal dance", that'll...

Eww, 6 weeks... wouldn't be surprising, but also means it might not get installed until April lol. I'm being only slightly facetious. I'm excited about this intake... but also don't want to pay for it to be installed and am also self-aware of my own habits especially as I'm about to start a new...

That's just the thing- I'm not aware that something can go wrong per se... but what's your definition of cheap? Isn't AMSOil $15 a quart? I know it's not a life-changing amount of money but that shit will add up. With that philosophy, you could also spend $1400 to change your tires out every...

Yeah it's a different experience for sure. Up to this point I'd been happy with the service department- but I can see now that it was only because I was buying a new car that I got the royal treatment. They put me in a loaner for almost two weeks while I waited for my car to arrive. They wanted...
