I am considering doing my oil changes for my DE5. Does anyone here do their oil changes themselves? If so, do you need a new washer for the drain plug. I am using Amsoil Signature series synthetic for oil as I have a membership.
I live in Ontario, Canada, where salt is spread on our roads in the Winter. Is anybody considering undercoat protection for their ITS? Do you think it's necessary?
I work for an autoglass company. I will take it in to see if they feel the glass needs to be removed. They experience these issues regularly. Will reply-post once I get a response from them.
I have rust under the rear backglass. Two very visible spots. Is this common with new cars? I have only seen this once with a civic rear lift gate, turned out to be a recall.
M2 is very heavy, small, and a 2-door. RS3 is small. Both are more expensive - can't imagine the repair bills in the future. Good luck trying to find a somewhat reasonable $ mechanic to work on those. ITS provides the complete package of performance, space/usability, reliability, and low...
For whatever reason, I feel those wheels look better and blend well on the Type R. Just a personal opinion. I also think the Type S looks better with larger 19+ wheels.
Very good points you made! I did have the spoiler installed last week. I will clean the rust out with a Q-tip and will see what happens. I dont think the paint is bubbled but will check to see if the rust is embedded. I agree with you RUNNIN, from your post - I have had some tree debris stuck in...
Ok. I will contact the dealer and will follow up on this post as soon as I have more info. Since these cars are so new, it might be a wider issue for many of these. Could likely see a recall because I doubt mine is a one off.
Hi all
I have a platinum white ITS and it looks like rust is forming under the rear back glass. Let me know your thoughts? Anybody experiencing this? See pics. Picked my ITS up on June 14th so I had it for a little while now.
I understand your point of view. I owned a 1991 CRX Si, which I used as a commuter - I also tracked and solo-raced it. Also owned a 1992 prelude SVR, which I used only for rallycross. And a 2004 Civic SIR - Commuter and tracked it. The stock seats on the CRX were really good, as well as the...
I agree, it would be a huge benefit if they improve the seats. Already I am using the footrest as a brace around tight corners. Cant imagine long stints on the track. The bolstering does not support the driver enough, considering the performance of the ITS.
Good point. I agree - it would likely need to be a big change for me to consider. Trade-in value will need to make sense. I was told by my dealer that Acura plans to produce the ITS for three years before moving towards electrification so knowing that, I do not think there will be big changes.
Assuming Acura will make enhancements to the ITS for 2025 or 2026 model years - does anyone plan to trade in their current ITS? If inventory is low going forward, the trade-in value should be high. I am considering putting myself on a waitlist for another one. I know someone who did this for...
Dove my ITS hard around some corners this past weekend. I agree that the seats could be better bolstered. Trying to support myself with my legs makes the driving experience challenging but manageable. The seats do not match the ITS's performance. Acura should make some improvements.
