Thanks to OGGsr in the CivicXI forum, here’s Honda’s new parts website which includes some newer models like the DE4 Integra (but no FL5 yet)

There’s no cross compatibility info and everything seems to be MSRP if you order from the site so this only seems useful as...
There’s some anecdotal evidence that using 91+ octane in the 1.5T’s that are designed for it gives a few extra mpg (or rather, you lose a few mpg by using regular octane) so most of the extra cost of premium gas is offset by the increase in mpg
It’s supposed to work like that. I’ve noticed it automatically goes from the high setting to middle after some time. From the owner’s manual: “After a certain period of time, the strength setting for the front seat heaters will automatically be reduced by one level at a time until the front seat...
I had Michelin Pilot A/S 4 on my 2017 Civic and loved them. Great dry and wet performance and they managed light snow ok, but I couldn’t get out of my driveway when it was 6” deep.
I know not many of us would use it, but add 5th seat for the ITS for whatever it's worth. I really don't see Acura following the CTR and leaving that out on the ITS.
Sorry, didn’t mean to put it that way. My point in general to anyone wanting to order now is pretty much stay away from dealers who say something that isn’t known already (or maybe even worse, they don’t know something you know).
It's very unlikely at this point the dealer will know anything that is not public info. If they did know something, then they should be under NDA, and if they revealed something that is NDA, then that's being disreputable. The day after the announcement, I asked the sales guy I got my A-Spec...
If there’s a rattle when the clutch is engaged (ie. pedal up, whether it’s in gear or neutral) and it goes away when you push down on the clutch pedal, it’s likely the input shaft bearing going bad. Would not expect that on a brand new car, so likely a factory defect. I’d take it to Acura ASAP...
I'll third the PS4S. I put them on my FR-S after having Michelin Pilot A/S 3+ (which are already excellent all season tires) and I could immediately feel the difference in grip in just everyday normal driving, not to mention spirited driving, and that was when it was 40-50F.
IIRC at least for A-Spec, spec is 35 psi front, 33 psi rear so you’re getting that because the fronts are past whatever tolerance it has and the rears are not
I’m betting on #2. I rule out #1 because Honda likes to reuse powertrains and there is no Honda AT with LSD currently on the market, and #3 & 4 makes the lineup too confusing and adds cost to have 2 ITS’s that perform differently.
CVT only comes with the 1.5T and 2.0NA. 10AT comes with all other pure ICE models, with 9AT pretty much phased out now with the new Pilot, so chances are it would be the 10AT from the Accord/RDX/TLX
I just came across this again from the video announcement that MT would available in the Integra and noticed that this is not the shift knob that's in the A-Spec Tech (it's more like the Si's). Last second change or meant for Type S?
