Financially, you're probably better off to simply keep what you have. Most car mods represent discretionary purchases and is money down the drain, but maybe worth the enjoyment. I've had several Porsche and Corvette track cars. The Integra Type S is not in the same class from a performance...

For some reason, I think these cars might be delivered without that little plastic cover installed. I found mine lying in the cup holder. It seems beyond coincidence that so many would fall out if previously installed.

A friend stores his car over the winter, and he had mouse problems. His solution was to buy a CarBag, and he has had total success with it. I don't know how much money and effort you want to expend, but it might be an option. I think they have a web site.

I just ran across this thread, and I know it's dated. But I saw that it originally was regarding a surprise brake rotor replacement due to "warped" rotors. I'll offer a couple of comments. If you notice nothing in driving the car, and the tech says that the rotors are warped, ask him what the...

Did you measure the amount of oil drained? On a car without experience, I think it's a good idea, as you know you are replacing the amount drained. If it's a bit low, you can always add. Regarding the dip stick, yes, it's a poor design. My best luck has been to fully dry it, then have a clean...

I put together a compact spare and jack kit, strapped it down in the trunk. It adds a little weight, but I prefer a conventional spare to either the fix-a-flat stuff or run-flats.

I suggest that you do another test drive in the Integra. Tell the salesperson that you need a longer drive and will be driving the car a little harder. I come from a higher HP rear drive background too, but they were sports cars, Porsche 911 and C6 Corvette. The handling dynamics of a...

Yes, and I'm not surprised at its reading. I don't drive it a lot of miles, but the portion of the miles driven hard is very high. I don't do track stuff anymore, sold the car and quit. I guess I take out my frustration on this car. I don't abuse it, but I'm sure that it's burning through gas...

I won't go 10K without changing the oil and filter. I'll either do it myself or pay the shop and use the free oil change when the computer reminds. I just won't reset it with the first change.

I would be curious to know how the software treats the time variable. The car has been in service 4 months. I wouldn't think that should be a very compelling factor.

Bought in 12/24, build date 10/24.

I have 1,350 miles on my ITS. The computer is showing 70% oil life. I didn't notice when it changed to 70%, so it could be 70% or closer to 60%. Using the mid range of 65%, an oil change reminder could be predicted at around 4,000 miles. How does this compare with other owners' experiences?

Pretty impressive. I bet it was smoking by the time she got home!

I think the answer depends on your priorities. and what "better fitment" means to you, but I have a suggestion. Before you make a decision, do some reading about the dual axis suspension and the function of wheel offset in its operation.

They are not directional, so put them anywhere you want. IMO, unless you are getting some specific side-related wear, I don't believe that it's worth the trouble to X rotate them, just do front to back. All you need do is jack up one side at a time. The only time I rotated side to side was when...

I'm 75 with damaged hearing, so I haven't noticed any of this stuff. My advice, drive it hard, keep the rpms up, forget about the rattles. Cars like this have squeaks and rattles. Get rid of it or get over it.

Is brake vectoring turned off when VSA is disabled with the three-step process? I assume that it is, but this is the first I've heard of it.

The Apex EC-7 is made in 18X9.5 with an offset option of 58, which is about a perfect match for the OE offset specification. It's on backorder now, but if you call, they might have an update on anticipated delivery.

I never did any tire rotations at the track, and I don't think it's worth the trouble. Just rotate between events, since you'll probably be doing brake service anyway. Go have a hot dog instead of messing with the tires. Of course, I'm lazy and I like hot dogs.

I haven't tried it, because I really don't mind the factory dipstick. But it seems to me, regardless of the color of the metal, the oil level should be relatively easier to see on a smooth metal surface.
