:rolleyes: :thumbsup: 🤡 I do hold grudges. But you can try saying sorry, you know where to find me. OR..... I could just resort to name calling, try to get some sort of last word in and then let everyone know I'm putting you on my ignore list. I could do that, but I'm a grown up. ;)

This is one of the clowns who announced his intent to put me on his ignore list so somebody translate this for him. First of all, how exactly do you plan to "set" the camber in the front? What you see is what you get. There is no factory adjustability for camber, and even the aftermarket...

I've been putting what seems like endless shitty miles on mine lately, almost half the time stuck in relentless DMV-area traffic. I still don't hate it though, despite all that. For perspective, that same traffic caused me to trade in a perfect 911 Carrera S.

I'm finding I'm landing in the exact same place. This car has so much political capital with me it's nearly impossible for it to piss me off to the point where I'd want to get rid of it. I flirted with the idea for a bit, but only because I fucked up the way it drove! When I first installed the...

First suggestion- head over to the A spec forum. The engines and approaches to making power are significantly different, so go talk to the folks that lurk in those sub-forums to get more relevant responses. That being said, you sure can add an exhaust and intake, but I wouldn't get my hopes up...

The dealership experience is a joke, but good luck getting any better out of Honda. If you do just know it's not systemic, you just got lucky. They're every bit as trash as Acura, but at least you get some nice pleather chairs and free coffee in an Acura dealer (and an extra year of...

You already have it, it's just about perspective. I went through a lot of cars too, always with the thought in the back of my mind of what's next- sometimes when I was in the dealership buying the current car. I'd say the DE5 fixed that, but I think most of it was I was just ready to stop that...

Sure, you can. I'm not here to debate whether it's a "good idea" or not, but money can do crazy things. Personally I think that $17,500 in engineering by Honda professionals would take you farther, but I'm just a bro on the internet. But calling the ITS a "parts bin special" or however he...

I have one of the "milder" exhausts, the Invidia Q300. No downpipe, but the Q300 comes with a front-pipe. It drones in some settings, particularly off-throttle. It's not "unbearable" but it is noticeable enough. I don't really see how an aftermarket exhaust could truly advertise "no drone". I...

So you don't actually own a Type S? edit- sorry, I should have been more attentive. So forgive me for pretty much completely dismissing the opinion of a guy who's spent enough on his A-spec to easily equate to the MSRP of a Type S, yet still laughs about the Type S being "parts bin...

I think much more research needs to go into this before I'd agree that it's needed to stay competitive. It's suspension tuning. The requirement to "tweak settings on the fly" should be far less than engine tuning, for example. You really shouldn't need a mobile app for this application. One of...

So wait, do you have a Type S or not? That's an important detail, because I thought similarly when I bought the car. I kept telling myself it was a compromise and I'd get a "real" sports car later. 2 years later and I no longer feel the same way. This car is absolutely, 100% a sports car. I...

First of all, no one should be driving on cold/wet or icy roads with the tires that came on this car. All seasons at a minimum, winters if you plan on driving in actual snow. As for A spec vs Type S, I don't think they're commonly cross-shopped. VERY different experiences. I see you invoked...

What is there to say to this? I disagree completely that it isn't good for everyday use. It's perfect for everyday use for someone who wants to actually USE the car. The car isn't for everybody, and frankly I'm tired of defending it. I love the car, had it over 2 years and it effectively cured...

There are tons of other threads to reference for the snow tire issue, but you'll also find you'll get a wide variety of opinions. The consensus boils down to: - NOT drive in cold/wet, snow, or icy conditions on summer tires - all seasons are a great compromise for moderate winters driving on...

This looks really good. Honestly I don't recall seeing many (any?) black wheels on PRP. It's a great look.

The body-colored grille is only on the A-spec AFAIK, and it's optional.

From the data I've extracted from a litany of forum posts, the most I could expect here would be half a degree. Arguably enough to "balance out" the extra camber added in the rear from swapping springs, but not enough for my use case. This is interesting though, and definitely news to me. I...

Another thing that is pushing me towards coilovers is the camber. Now having -3.5 degrees in the front for a full autocross season there's no way I'm going back... but I'd love to be able to easily set the camber back to a reasonable setting for the street/winter without removing/reinstalling...

It's not getting anything. This is a limited run car that won't see any changes unless something dramatic happens. And by "dramatic" I mean some special send-off unit a la a PMC edition or something like the HRC prototype they've been parading around. Be grateful you get new colors lol...
