I see similar amounts of water in the door sills of my A-Spec. I'm blown away even more so by how much dust gets into the for sill area and in around the gas cap. I've never seen anything like it! Just driving an ordinary day through farm country does it. It makes it hard to keep the car...

Proclip is surprisingly expensive. I finally decided that it's worth it to never have to worry about phone mounts again! I've got 20,000 miles with the Proclip in this Integra, including hard back road driving and big unexpected road bumps and have had no problems at all. I hope you end up...

I've owned a turbocharged Focus ST, 2 turbocharged WRXs, my wife's turbocharged Lexus NX, and my current A-Spec turbocharged Integra, and I've never heard the sound described above. The issue in general may be endemic to turbo cars, but it sounds to me like Honda did a bad job addressing it...

I ordered a Proclip mount for a '22 Civic Si last August and it's been perfect. I highly recommend it. I had one in my prior WRX, and my wife uses one in her Lexus and they've always been flawless, have never come loose or fallen or even needed readjustment after installation. The mount is...

I'm reasonably sure that the car will not start in Individual mode under OEM settings because of the EPA's CAFE rules. It's the same reason that Honda is forced to recommend 0W-20 oil only, and state that other weights are not allowed outside of emergency conditions. If they want to get the...

You can get to the blend door actuator mechanisms with a little work. Removing the lower driver side trim and knee airbag gets you in on that side, while removing the glove box and lower dash trim gets you there on the passenger side. My car had a lot of play in those mechanisms when I...

I had really, really bad rattles in both adjusters. They are actually what got me started on this whole journey. That Civic video is an excellent starting point for fixing the adjusters, but it wasn't enough in my case. Beware, in the video he reinstalls the one time use connectors...

I'm glad it worked!

Those were all loose for me, especially that yellow one. I didn't bother looking up what each connected to though. To fix all of these, I unplugged all of the connectors, added electrical tape to the flat sides of the male end of each connector as a shim, and plugged them back in. Usually one...

Do you have a picture of it and where it's located?

I changed my air filter at about 10k miles after seeing it look very similar to yours. I think mine was actually a little worse, but at the time I blamed it on the horrible wildfire smoke we had for 3 months last summer in the Seattle area.

I forgot to mention, I also removed the sunglasses holder/overhead light assembly. The components of that assembly were very loose, so I basically disassembled it, added tape to tighten all of that up, and it's quiet now. The last area is the camera housing. The two plastic pieces behind the...

I've definitely noticed different sounds in different temperatures. However, after tearing my interior apart quite a bit, the interior is now silent and rattle free, in most conditions. I did heavy work in the lower driver's dash area, the lower passenger dash area, the steering column, the...

I use the Torque app with a Bluetooth dongle to display boost pressure, coolant temp, and a few other items on my phone. It's not as good as factory, but it still very useful.

After 4 visits to the dealer and two failed repairs, my squeaky seat appears to be fixed. They replaced the entire seat. My squeaky/creaky noise came from down low near the floor during lateral weight transfer. Roundabouts would universally cause the noise, and eventually just driving in a...

I drive my Integra aggressively on twisty roads whenever I can, always when the engine is fully warmed up. The engine doesn't seem to mind at all, which is good since it really wakes up over 5k rpm! My favorite stretch has over 100 miles of twisty, hilly road that I drive hard at high speed...

Absolutely correct. And people who care to can monitor the Integra's boost like I do with apps like Torque. My point is about Honda's confidence in the engine's reliability: If someone like my wife bought an Integra, knowing nothing and carrying even less about cars and engines, she'd drive...

I thought Scott Kilmer was dead!! Turns out it was an urban legend. Hahaha! I think that boosting an engine beyond its factory design is generally bad for reliability, but manufacturers such as Honda likely know how to tune turbo engines to live reliable lives when they are actually designing...

Mine doesn't either, it looks a little sloppy. My wife's Lexus NX looks far better in this respect than my Integra.

The flap is there to provide access to the Latch system anchor for child car seats. I open that flap up in mine to install my son's car seat.
