Missing my ITS⦠itās been in the PDR shop since the beginning of December after a large branch fell squarely on the roof while parked in my driveway. Had a large dent where the A pillar wraps into the roof rail, and a much deeper one near the antenna.
The repair involves removing the entire...
LSM Type S heading through Providence, RI on 95 southbound, around 5:45am today. Was driving a different vehicle this, but Iāve pulled up next to you before in my ITS. You on here?
I thought I saw video of someone opening that plate on the inlet pipe to reveal it's strictly a Helmholtz resonator. It is unfortunate that it's so damn close to the heat shield, and I think you're right on that an aftermarket pipe will open up a much needed thermal break.
Welp it looks like this is something I should expect to address in the next year or so.
Seems like Paragon pads are a pretty popular replacement on this platform. Are those of you with P2 or P3 pads pretty happy with your choice, for street driving?
This intake certainly looks amazing in photos. Iād be hard pressed to justify the expense but can appreciate those who came to a different conclusion.
Itās funny - now that Iām driving the Integra daily, it makes me want to dial back the modifications on my Subaru. The intake and the exhaust...
Iāve seen a few other people mention needing to replace the rear pads at or under 20k miles. however at only 10k, and with warped rotorsā¦? That certainly seems excessive assuming this car is being street driven at reasonable levels.
Finally had a free Saturday to work on the car. I installed my new wheels and, and did my first oil change @ 1,225mi.
Wheels are OZ Leggera in 19x9.5 e51, wearing 275/30 DWS06+ tires. The combo weighed ~46.2lbs. Edit: my stock wheel/tire combo came in at 51.0lbs, so this is a wider tire with a...

Did my first oil change as well. Took 5.5qts to show full on the dipstick, with the engine warmed up. I installed a Fumoto F106SX valve - there was tons of room to position it how I liked.
I noticed it being very conservative at highway speeds however I think it is helpful on the off chance someone is approaching at a high speed. Now I just kind of factor it in and use it as a cue to double check my mirrors. My ā19 Accord only beeped if someone was right there, so itās taking some...
Sorry you guys are having to deal with this. Iām not too familiar with CF - would having the spoiler clear coated protect or remedy this? It seems like the failure is under the surface. Would an opaque wrap or paint better prevent UV from attacking the resin?
If it makes you feel any better I discovered this dent⦠after a large branch fell across my roof in my driveway. 400 miles on the car and hadnāt made a payment yet. Itās going in to get PDRād next week.
I hadnāt heard of it happening spontaneously - thatās concerning! What do you suppose the...
Gotcha⦠also understood that, for the price, many may be put off by having to further mod the intake to reflect the application.
Was the part you mentioned earlier about the insulation tube and drilling holes about the gasket material circled in orange in the OP? Because I was unclear if there...
Whatās this about the insulation tube?
Also how is the metal tag held on? Wouldnāt be too hard to make some custom plates with DE5 and some other marking.
