I went back and looked at mine and I'd misremembered when I responded above. Mine does in fact look exactly like yours. Apologies for the mistake.

Now that the weather is warming back up, my driver's seat has begun creaking again, quite consistently. Lateral load is the worst, roundabouts do it more than anything else. I am going to take it in for warranty work and will report back with my results.

Just as a comparison, my 2018 WRX CVT would return 25-26 mpg in pure highway driving, and 23 mpg when driven hard for an entire tank on my favorite spirited driving route. This Integra can get 40 mpg in pure highway driving, but that drops to 25 mpg when driven hard on that same route. This...

I've done some experimentation with CVT drive modes while cruising in top gear, and I want to share them. I hope you might find this beneficial. For anyone who hasn't noticed, the CVT's D mode utilizes a significantly taller top gear ratio than S mode. As an example, on level ground at 68 mph...

The difference I can sense is transmission behavior. Compared to D mode, in automatic S mode the car maintains a higher engine speed at a given vehicle speed, and is much more eager to downshift quickly for you. Throttle response is controlled by the drive mode you're in (Comfort, Normal...

Those air vents are very easy to get out. The trim pieces they are set into just pop right out with some clips, and the vents are clipped into the trim. The driver's side is just the tiny plastic surround, while the passenger's side goes from the far right hand vent all the way to the start...

I had a rather noisy seat in the Sep-Nov timeframe. Like yours, it would make a creaking noise as I went around corners. I would hear it in normal driving, going around roundabouts would usually cause it, but it was very unpredictable. It has simply quieted itself down, I haven't heard any...

That's awful! I have no such gap. It almost looks like that piece isn't clipped in properly. Unless it clicks into place with a gentle push, that looks like warranty work to me.

They're just screws, but I think they are longer than one would expect. Just keep turning and eventually they'll come out. I don't recall any plastic tabs that need to be pried out. There are two tabs that hold it in place, but once the screws and fasteners are removed, you can simply slide...

I'm in the Seattle area and just signed up. It will be a fun trip to Voodoo Donuts if nothing else! We'll see if anything happens.

I've had this problem too and it's been maddening. I've done 3 factory resets (thank God for the user settings export function) but I think I've figured it out. My Pixel 6 will connect via Android Auto but will only show up in Bluetooth audio mode. Android Auto is actually connected but...

Remove the weather stripping, then there are 4 clips holding the trim piece in place. They are oriented vertically and point down, and are all spaced pretty evenly along the tip of the trim piece. They are this type of clip:

You don't actually need the rivet gun tool. I installed the Acura cargo net, including the rivet nuts, using the method I found in this link:. https://www.spyderindustries.com/blogs/news/diy-how-to-install-nut-inserts-rivet-nuts It ended up being really easy.

He makes a good point. My grandfather lost much of his hearing in WWII so he would shout all the time in normal conversation. His hearing was so bad that he fell asleep seeing Stargate in the theater. He had 50 grandchildren by the time he passed, and because he always shouted every one of us...

Perhaps manufacturers know the limits of precision in the fuel system sensors and injectors hardware and then program the cars to prioritize the most optimistic data when validating sensor readings? Just a theory, but I can't think of another reason. I had two WRXs, 2015 & 2018, that also...

I have discovered that my Integra's computer is a little optimistic with regards to the mileage it reports by about 3%. I try to record the computer reported gas mileage for each tank when I fill up, which allows me to compare the computer calculated mileage to the actual mileage based on...

Yes, they all start in Normal, if turned off in Sport or Individual, or Comfort if turned off in Comfort. Individual mode allows you to disable auto stop. The EPA doesn't like that, and their rules require that if auto stop is going to be used in calculating EPA mileage, that the car turns on...

In general automatic D will turn lower revs than automatic S with the CVT. My CVT will turn the engine at a lower RPM level while driving a constant 70 mph on the freeway in automatic D mode than it will in automatic S mode. S will never actually shift to as high a gear ratio while cruising...

28 miles is a very small sample size, too small to draw conclusions from. Expect lower mileage for the first 600-1,000 miles due to parts breaking in. After reaching 1,000 miles try monitoring each fill-up. If you're still very low over the course of the first 3 or 4 tanks that come after...

D mode is basically fully automatic CVT mode for when you don't want to think. You can use paddle shifters to "change gear", but a short time after you stop using the paddles the CVT will go back to doing its own thing. S mode also has an automatic mode which is more performance oriented than...
