About 2 weeks now, im just glad DRob noticed it when I took the car for him to unlock. Literally had 1k miles on it and he popped the hood and was like there's a big smell of coolant here and it was all over the back of the reservoir. I had read the post about it like days before and probably...
Mine is currently at the dealership, they didn't want me driving it, but didn't have a loaner so I had to drive it for a few more days before they got one back. Part was backordered I was told, should be arriving on the 15th.
Yeah I can't even imagine going through what they are. Acura has my coolant reservoir tank on back order too, and don't have any loaner cars to give me. I'm doing my best to not drive the car on the broken tank, but can't help some things I have to do. Saying it's coming in on the 15th allegedly.
Coming from my totaled FK8 CTR it feels a little larger when driven hard, but not egregiously so. One of my most surprising faults is it doesn't seem as aerodynamic either since I definitely feel the wind a lot at high speed (120+) compared to the FK8, but I absolutely love the way the car looks...
Hey all, before I toss any of this, I have some stuff I want out of my garage. Local pickup gets preference and discount over any shipping. All FK8 parts were less than 10k miles on them when I went aftermarket. All prices do not include any paypal fees/shipping.

I almost want to like the red on black rear, but agree that SOMETHING is off, whether it's the shade of red. The front doesn't look good IMO, definitely too large an emblem.
Are you taking the bumper off each time to play with the looks or is it just stickers/vinyl etc. Also whereabout in NJ...
Was at IMW today, got the ECU unlocked and TSP1 loaded by DRob. Car feels great! Considerably better top end pull and more lively mid range. Rev hang gone is another blessing.
Also turns out my coolant reservoir is ALSO cracked and leaking.
Sorry to dig this back up, but I want to order the Type S emblem in black, I really only need 1 for the front grill, rest are debadged is that an option or do I need to order a set? Which is the right one for the GLOSS BLACK Type S emblem, the part number above says it, but shows a chrome...
If it makes you feel any better I understand your POV and mostly agree. It's why my intention is to get an intake when one is available (need more induction sound to be happy), tune the car, and probably leave it there until it's time for wheels/tires, but legitimately have no idea what...
Pulled this from Hondata back when it released and I had it put on my FK8. Hondata has a fabulous patented technology: Traction control. We've seen 2 seconds a lap improvement. Reduce your torque request, then tune your traction control settings. Hondata traction control alters the power 100...
Yep, ran a square setup of all front wheels off the 350z since they had a better width/offset for the spec v. Fit perfectly out the box. Before that had a set of Altima SE-Rs on there, and it ended with a set of Rays 57C powdercoated in hyper silver before I sold it.
Evan here,
First real modified car was my 07 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V. Heavily modified street car, turbo kit, interior redone in black leather/alcantara, projector retrofit headlights, 330whp @ 11psi, stock motor/clutch.
Regrettably sold it, picked up a Focus ST, didn't last long in that at...
Heh pretty much nailed mine.
Coming from my totaled FK8 I thought the rocks in the brake shield was behind me. Never ever had a car with this issue and now both have lol.
I couldn't believe how little rear visibility there is in the car. It's legit half of what the FK8 had.
Wtf is with the...
I just went on Acura's website and searched inventory for TEP with Orchid interior. There are currently 5 with this combination within 100 miles of me (located in South Jersey). Not sure where on the east coast you are...
Did Elite Acura in SJ sell theirs? I saw it in person a few weeks ago, they had it listed at 5k over MSRP, but were probably willing to deal then and it's still on the lot. I live just a few mins away if you need me to shoot over on your behalf or anything. If anything I snagged mine also...
