I do love the car, and I'm glad I got it. To me it's a lesson learned. I actually liked ordering since there was no urgent need, but I will never go there again and I'll get the price negotiation done, in writing, and signed with the order. Since they'll all sell no matter where or which dealer...

Thread is a bit dead, but the story deserves closure. The red car they supposedly put my name on had been ordered by someone else and I ended up waiting 4 months for a new blue with orchid. Wasn't too bothered since I work from home and wasn't in urgent need of another car. I also figured to get...

Thanks for the advice I'm gonna get the maxshine m15 and their nano since we can use it for some other projects. Going back and forth on if I should go uro-pad or open cell foam. Although it's closed-cell, I like that Adam's has identical 2 inch and 5 inch pads. I was considering only coating...

I'm not too concerned since if I go gentle enough there's next to no risk, even if it would take a lot more time and polish. I'm more so checking if there's any insight specifically for the Integra since clearcoat, dyes, and materials may be different even in the same brand

After nightmare of delays and issues, my integra is finally in transit with a VIN (confirmed the VIN is for a manual this time) Doing my own paint correction/enhancement for the first time ... Looking for recommendations for a single stage polish and pad before I coat the car Insight on if...

Thread is a bit dead, but I'd consider a clear vinyl or ppf and letting an artsy family member or friend decorate it with an enamel paint marker ... relatively permanent, unique, and if it you don't like it, it's not the end of the world to pull the film off

Someone posted a picture on another thread that there are vents under the front seats, just not adjustable

I was not aware of this setting, but I haven't had an android auto compatible stereo for over a year now ... I always used smart lock so that it would unlock itself in the car, but if someone else is in the car with me I'd prefer my phone remain locked while using android auto Unrelated...

I stated a thread a while back with a similar issue. They received a cvt to fulfill my manual order. However, my dealership insisted Acura messed up and their order matched my reservation/preorder. Not too bothered at this point, because they're trying to make it right. I'm also OK with either...

Could try, but it may end up looking much worse for the repaint. I'd probably wait 6 months to a year to ask for an adjustment, gives them time to practice on other people's cars, and see if it gets worse (like something is actually loose) Definitely log the issue and track it though, so that...

On an Android 11+ the setting should be called "Smart Lock," and is typically on the security menu with the lock options. The car needs to be registered as a trusted device

For the panel gap and alignment, one of the differentiators for luxury brands is how tight that tolerance is when compared to economy/volume brands. I wouldn't be too bothered by this on a Civic, but on an Acura it's a let down. As for the paint specs, I can think of a few things that could...

I personally enjoy them for 2 reasons. 1, I can crack the windows without worrying about rain. 2, they're typically shaded, don't need to meet window film/tint requirements, and act similarly to the strip of extra dark tint you can get at the top of the windshield

Engine braking itself shouldn't affect clutch life. Also, I agree that the rev-match should help greatly with clutch life. Partly because you don't need to engage the clutch as much, and because if the engine and transmission are closely matched in rev/speed it puts less friction on the clutch...

I saw that in the manual, and chuckled to myself over them using R for "Right" and "Reverse" simultaneously ... probably right though, i think it'd be better on the manual thread ... or on a new "features how-to" thread

Any chance of getting the kit with no included filter for a slight discount? It would give those with a different preference an opportunity to pick and choose their own 4" cone, and wouldn't necessarily hurt profit. Personally I'm considering it, and tend to keep a 2nd filter in a bag near my...

Not to say the wear from engine braking is particularly significant, but it is something to be aware. They mention using engine braking in the manual a few times. I strongly believe they engineered the transmissions with some amount of engine braking in mind, the same way they use more robust...

For the first issue, it is common with cars that have a hood which has a steeper rake/angle down to not see as much of it. Personally I prefer to see as close to the front of the hood in the bottom of the windshield as I can. It lets me judge spacing a bit better for parking. As an example my...

I was looking at chemical guys hydroleather since it's synthetic suede and synthetic leather that should be good. Will need to wait until I get mine to test the underside of a seat to make sure it doesn't discolor it

I was considering the same comps as well as the GR Corolla ... I dropped the kia and genesis from my list when I found out that Kia considered burning oil or oil consumption normal operation. They say "normal" if it's less than 1qt per 1000 miles, and a ton of people in relatively new, under...
