Phearable tunes are amazing.
Truthfully once you check out the tutorials, the KTuner quick settings and adjustments are really easy to impliment on their included tunes. If you need help understanding what the various adjustments do, I'll be happy to help.
Some of it is just trial and error...
On my 1.5T powered Civic X, I pretty much have flashed all the available tunes from Hondata, KTuner, Phearable and TSP. The Phearable 1.5R is second to none. It's smoother than stock with more of a meaty midrange and gobs of power up top. I'm sure John Vega has worked his same magic on the...
Everyone knows tuning is easily the best power mod but it does add some additional stress to the drivetrain. This thread will document tuned 2023+ Integra reliability as well as tuned owners overall experiences.
If you're tuned, please add your car to the thread using the format below (I've...
This is far from a game changer for Acura. In base form, it's borderline lame. 17" wheels. 215 tires. No power increase over the Si. Hugely disappointed.
This is coming from a guy who owned a first year, first gen, 3 dr Integra LS (manual). Sure it was based on a Civic, but there were notable differences from the DOHC engine to the much nicer interior and seats to the cool pop up headlights, etc.
Dont get me wrong, I'm sure the car will be...
I think there's a lot of Acura/Honda rose colored glasses being worn over here. At the dealer, you'll be lucky to get a base Integra for $35K for what is (basically) a slightly spruced up econobox.
I'm not "conflating" anything. I'm allowed to make a real world prediction. After all, we buy new cars from dealers and realistically they will be marking these up quite a bit. My point was, essentially, is a Civic based 1.5T powered base model liftback worth 35,000+ dollars? And that's up to...
My prediction. The base model with retail for $30,395 plus a $1,000 freight charge. Most dealers will mark them up $5K so let's say maybe $36K+ on the street. Is an Si hatch worth that?
We all know the N is a helluva performer but the looks aren't for everyone. Me, I like cars that look a bit different than every cookie cutter car out there. And at least in my opinion, the N looks especially great in the darker colors. This particular blue is sharp looking.
This will give you a good idea on colors.
I'm not sure how many of you have seen the performance reviews, but every car pro I've seen loves this car.
Sort of the Type R of sedans.
Of course, I'm biased because I ran elantraclub.com for almost 20 years. Look, you generally won't get positive reviews of other brands on a site of another brand. Take that for what it's worth.
I think the Elantra N is a kick ass car. Totally blows something like an Si out of the water. Sure...
You really don't have to go too far to find a couple. Honda's very own 2022 Civic Touring sedan and Sport Touring hatch both fall in that 29K range and both come with a CVT.
