Very interesting article - Thanks for sharing. It sounds like it uses changes in dynamic ride height for brake vectoring and is probably feedback loop controlled, so it should be adaptive with respect to changes in static ride height. Is brake vectoring (aka Agile Handling Assist) completely...

I run the same drain plug in my S2000 - That looks pretty normal. But was the black stuff smooth or gritty when rubbed between your fingers? Smooth is fine, gritty not so good. Looking forward to seeing the lab report.

Yes, after further investigation I agree. More details for those interested: I asked @jayy_swish if it might be possible to disable VSA by powering off the Yaw Sensor (as is commonly done on 350/370Z's) with a simple on/off switch. His reply: So I was doing research on where the yaw rate...

I did that. Sorry for the long post that follows I asked: I and many others are interested in a device that could emulate the "pedal dance" required to shut off VSA (completely, not just reduced). In theory, this device would connect into the parking brake switch, the brake pedal (brake light)...

It should be possible to make a device that emulates the pedal dance, similar to the way the Acura IDS Controller activates Individual mode on start up. It would only need to connect to the parking brake switch, the brake pedal (brake light) switch and the TCS/VSA button. It could be activated...

Maybe it's just me, but I'd prefer if VSA was never on, so I'd like to fool the system in a way that it thinks it's on but does nothing. Maybe this will be my own personal crusade, but I'd like to know more about how it works - what inputs to it and what do its outputs do? If it only engages...

It would be great if someone could find a way to disable (or disconnect) just the outputs from the VSA module so it would think it was always on, but actually had no effect on throttle or brakes. Is that possible?

Thanks for the quick reply. That's a bummer.

When I turn VSA off completely (via pedal dance) the "Driver Information Interface" (on the right hand side, inside the speedo) shows only "VSA" in the lower left. If I roll the right hand selector on the steering wheel I can get other info to display (e.g. tire pressures) but it only stays that...

Aluminum plug in aluminum casting = bad idea. Titanium so they can charge more $$$. Note that the oil drain plug is M14x1.5 but the trans plug is M20x1.5. See https://www.integraforums.com/forum/threads/magnetic-oil-drain-plug.51712/post-845312 for more info. I bought the Votex drain plugs -...

Sorry I'm late to this conversation, but this might work: https://www.yellr.com/ I asked them if it works for an FL5 (because DE5 is so new) and they said: I believe the Yellow Box should be compatible. Not sure if Plug-n-play Harness would be available. Most likely it will be Splice Harness...

Per IIHS.org: Newer airbags have a safety belt sensor and use an algorithm to decide whether to deploy the bag in a given crash, depending on whether people are using safety belts. For unbelted occupants, a front airbag will typically deploy when the crash is the equivalent of an impact into...

Have you tried threading those nuts onto the wheel studs of your ITS? I think the nuts you have are M12 x 1.5, not M14 x 1.5. That would explain why the pointy end is so small. Let us know if they work.

They were steel lug nuts, these exactly: https://www.ebay.com/itm/124689867495. The diameter at the base of the scored/compressed area of the machined-down conical lug nuts is a very consistent .680 inch (17.3 mm) for all five. That's the ID at the top of the "virgin" conical lug nut seats on...

I like #4. I use a Shift Beeper in my S2000. Unfortunately Bob "Modifry" has retired and I can't find any other source.

If you plan on becoming a serious track rat you should consider getting a Garmin Catalyst (ask @Zygrene how he likes his). It's much more than a lap timer/data logger/video recorder - it's an AI driving instructor. It will help you find the fast way around the track much more quickly and fine...

No, because the concave side of the wheel will be facing down. But all this stuff fits UNDER the wheel And I have refined it a bit further by sliding a piece of rubber tubing over the Coupler Nut (that's sticking up) and then I close the jack so it's squeezing down on the rubber tube. That way...

For those installing single-adjustable shocks for the first time, here's a useful guide: https://motoiq.com/how-to-adjust-your-shocks-part-one-single-adjustable-shocks. From that post, here's a Cause & Effect List for shock settings that might be worth printing and taking to the track with you...

Yes, I considered that however I wanted a solution that could be implemented without special tools or services. Some machine shops might be hesitant due to liability concerns. Furthermore, the original lug nut seats are formed to shape, so there is a raised lip around the circumference of each...
