I'd owned a 2013 Focus ST since it was new. I loved that it was manual, had personality, and was a hatch. Not very many cars on the market fit that criteria anymore. Golf GTI/R: went for a test drive, found it kinda boring to drive, despite it being extremely capable. GR Corolla: not the...

I also prefer having the Homelink power only running when accessory power is on rather than all the time. This could be a manufacturer by manufacturer decision, as my wife's 2015 Accord has homelink built in and active at all times. My 2017 Mazda MX-5 was only active when accessory power was on...

With option 1, auto dimming works. It really comes down to how you want to power the mirror. The wiring harness for the Civic/Integra only has a live power line for accessory power, which requires the car to be on for it to be active. Only one of the wires has a live connection (I can't remember...

That's definitely not normal. For what it's worth, the entire stack of controls is a single module clipped to the center console trim piece. It might need a replacement module where the buttons are aligned properly. Maybe the previous owner was too aggressive turning off the auto stop/start...

Brake hold isn't a feature exclusive to manuals, my first time encountering it was in a car I rented a few years ago. That was an automatic. It was a nice feature for sitting in stop and go traffic, especially in those situations where you see a driver actively out the car in park since it'll be...

Wait, is it already body colored underneath? Or did you have to paint it to match?

That just means you need to do the mod to add usb ports and rear vents so that your mats will fit! ?

https://www.integraforums.com/forum/threads/adding-memory-drivers-seat.51945/ Here's a thread where people were braking down the memory sest problem. Afaik, there's no solution yet. The only thing I've done to my car is add a homelink mirror, but that was a relatively straight forward swap.

Correct, hill hold (or hill assist in some cars) is specifically to help the driver get the car moving while on an incline. The idea is that it takes a second to come off the brake, on to the gas, and off the clutch. Think of it like Clippy from Office... "hey, it looks like you're trying to...

Brake hold and hill hold are similar features, but not the same. Brake hold is activated via button and can be used at any time. The hold is also indefinite, until the driver actively puts the car into motion, disables it, or opens the door (in which case the parking brake will engage). Hill...

I dont use brake hold very often, but it comes in handy every once in awhile. I typically only use it during times where I'm stopped for a longer period of time, but not long enough to use the parking brake. The most common situation is when waiting in line at Costco for gas. I'll sit there...

How does it wrap under? Do you have an ASpec? Do the headrests adjust in your car?

It still looks like it uses some sort of strap to wrap around the headrest. It would be good to see it in action on an Integra.

Got a link for one? All of the mirror solutions I've found are strap-based ones that don't work on a non-adjustable headrest. The only other ones seem to be ones that stick to a hard surface/glass, but I don't know if the rear hatch is far enough forward for that to work well. Or you've figured...

I'm amused that you're tapping out SOS in moorse code. ?

I've been on the hunt for a mirror that I can use in the back seat to keep an eye on a rear facing car seat. All of the ones I've found rely on straps that go around the rear headrest. Since the headrests in the Integra are fixed, the straps don't mount well for holding a mirror in place. Has...

I personally went the route of taking the mirror apart and swapping/modding the wiring harness. The toughest part was actually getting the metal stem back into the plastic housing. Even if you do depin the wiring on the Accord mirror, you'll still need to combine the power wires, as the...

I frequently drive on South Carolina roads. Everything rattles. In my last car, the SC sections of freeway eventually caused all the plastic tabs holding up my center console to break, causing the entire sunglasses holder assembly to fall.

The top thing to remember with a lease: you don't own the car. It's yours in the sense that it is in your possession but none of the payments you make on it go towards you establishing ownership. At the end of the day, the car still belongs to Acura. With that in mind, typically you can do...

Awesome! My friends have learned to be ultra selective when doing their pin grading, as they've had extremely OCD people pick out the tiniest of defects to fuss about. They use good manufacturers, but when they have orders in the 1000+ range, a few will be bound to have *something* slightly off...
