No, what he's pointing to is that's the piece and it's there for the CVT but they don't change it for the manual. Just like the fact we don't have power memory seats, the cutout is still there on the door because they don't want to make 10 different parts. Why not just check there instead of...

I've been questioning this since May. The more people ask about it the more I'm confident this is a quirk of the design. There was one member who said it was fixed by replacing something in/near the transmission housing but we never heard back. I just hope it's not a massive recall issue. My...

Michelins and almost every other extreme performance summer tire will not do well in cold temps even if not driven. I know some other forums like Porsche or Corvette complain about flat spotting in cold whether even over night, forget a few months. Anyways not everyone has the luxury of storing...

How/where do you store the Miata? Also what's your definition of a flat spot. Lastly the tire dimensions make a difference even if it's the same tire model, did the ITS do it or only the Miata? After storing the ITS last year there were no perceivable flat spots where I felt an additional bump...

This. They don't do orders, if they say they do, the sales person is lying to you. Basically the dealership might ask for certain colors but at the end of the day they get what Acura gives them. Pick a color, seems like you're going for White, and then have a back up or two of other colors...

Sadly it's that time of year again.... ? Oil changed and shined to a mirror polish. Tomorrow I'll go top off the tank, add fuel stabilizer, plug in the tender and wrap it up it the car bag. Who knows, I might even read it a bed time story ?. Those who are storing, what is your estimated...

My bad for the delay. This is how I connect the alligator clips for the winter. Note the negative terminal is jumped so I use the other side of this jumper for even easier connection. I then lower the hood slowly until it latches but not enough that it locks. It should be the same height as...

We have some benefits but too few and far between when compared with our American friends. On that topic, looks like Canadian Tire will be having their annual Pennzoil Ultra Platinum sale soon. 5L jug will have a $15 MiR and if combined with other CT rewards deals, you should be able to get 2...

Thanks for the affirmation. Let me know if you think the J dipstick is worth it. With two recommendations it'll definitely be a buy, I just hope it's easily available in Canuckistan. My Carbag was an absolute nightmare thanks to UPS and customs clearance.

Statistically end of month is best and end of year can be better *IF* the dealership is close but hasn't achieved their yearly sales targets. They might throw a bone or two your way as they attempt to meet their sales goals.

So I did my oil change and rotated the tires.... one week later because life always throws curve balls. Everything went super smoothly, the clips and bolts holding the shield are a breeze to work with (i.e. none of those stupid center push lock tabs that break when you so much as look at them...

How "particular" are you about keeping it in the best shape possible. If your just generally wanting to keep it in better condition than winter driving it, Mr. LargeCoffee's suggestions are more than enough. Bring a trailer type level, there's much more to do.

Technically your are both right to varying degrees. While rev hang is 100% related to the ECU and emission standards, lowering unsprung mass, i.e. changing the rims, will make the car feel much more responsive which may be confused with "less rechange". The effect is even more distinct when...

Winter.... The ultimate CAI. Would be nice if the computers would give us the extra power. I mean it shouldn't hurt too much since the colder denser air would also serve to cool the engine bay more efficiently.

Coolest oil trick is the use of a vacuum. Only thing is you'll need a second person but take a shop vac or even something as simple as a dustbuster and just after braking the oil pan bolt loose, put the hose to the fill cap. You can now unbolt it with zero drip/mess. Once off, the person removes...

I'll grab some pics this weekend. Basically I attached the ground clamp to the other side of the wire, and both on the side so that I could lower the hood easily. I also plug it in for 12 hours about once every two weeks. Yes I know the battery tender is safe for 24/7/365 use, however I'm a...

I believe it's free not because they bake the cost into the price of the car, but because the around $50 in cost they spend per oil change (likely times 2, max 4) is an investment to A) get you into the dealership where they train you to come to them for service and B) while a lot less likely...

I second this, at least for Android Auto. Waze used to SCREAM at me but I used the volume knob after plugging in directions just for that purpose, and problem was solved just like that. Now the only issue is my music kicks in on the call speaker (behind the center screen) after/during a call...

? At 36 I thought I was young for an ITS. I mean I bought my Si at 25, so you are definitely winning at life if you can afford the ITS at 22. Although I'll say this, if you are able to do so because you still live at home with your parents, be sure to thank them and be grateful because while...
