  1. FL5 ADS Module Swap

    The Sachs CDC dampers which are what Honda's using do adjust in real time according to an algorithm: https://aftermarket.zf.com/en/aftermarket-portal/services-and-support/expert-blog/inbrief-cdc-dampers/ So it's really the tuning that people disagree with.
  2. Initial ownership happiness by brand...

    This isn't really "happiness" but rather the number of reported defects within some early time frame after delivery. There are cars which are terrible quality but people put up with it because they like them anyway. JD Power has been around for several decades and they do publish some...
  3. OEM Wheels: Any Concerns RE: Potholes?

    From my FK8 experience, small potholes are ok but I try to avoid them from paranoia. When I do hit them it's been generally ok. Large, deep ones like those crazy 6" sunken manhole covers are not ok and highly risky unless you're going slowly, like 10-20 mph. It's not just wheels, think of tires...
  4. ITS Downforce Figures?

    Going back to the original subject, just my opinion, but I would guess the Integra's goal was high speed stability and not substantial downforce. The rear diffusers, which look so good, don't have much surface area. They don't even try to do anything to clean up the flow over the mufflers. I...
  5. ITS Downforce Figures?

    Let's at least quote the sentence where the nine pound number comes from: It seems unlikely Honda engineers would say in interviews they spent a lot of time on the rear diffuser if it was just a bumper cover. The article you linked to was all about how a dirty floor car benefitted from the...
  6. Correct OEM tire pressure 265/30/ZR19

    it makes sense for 130mph sustained, you want additional air pressure to lessen deformation in the tire where it contacts the road or else the friction will build up heat and cause tire failure. Fail in this case means chunks of rubber start coming off and the tire delaminating. It's not about...
  7. Integra type S vs Civic type R

    Well that's quite a rabbit hole you've dragged me into. I only have limited appetite or time to entertain weird theories, but I did read some of the stuff you are referencing. To start, using a conservative think tank, the Manhattan Institute, that has promoted a specific agenda for many...
  8. Integra type S vs Civic type R

    I'm not an EV advocate since they don't appeal to me so far as a consumer but I'm going to put forth my thoughts to counter yours. Lithium battery recycling is still a growing business but there are startups that are refining the processes and methods to make this scale up and lower the cost...
  9. ALL Physical Differences: Integra Type S vs Civic Type R

    Something I found interesting is the rear diffuser of the ITS is not a full width fairing like the CTR. It's actually two one third size diffusers that leave the muffler area uncovered. They also aren't sealed with the body at the leading edge. The CTR's diffuser is full width and has a more...
  10. List of Honest Acura Dealerships For Type S (MSRP vs Markup List -- Integra Type S)

    I got a text from Kearny Mesa Acura (San Diego). They said: So they want $62,180. That's a super no from me.
  11. 2024 Acura Integra Type S Pricing & MPG Fuel Economy Released! Pre-Order Begins May 11

    The high price makes some sense for Acura. Like someone else said, they can see the pent-up high demand and our expectations of seeing dealer markup. By raising the price partially into the expected marked up range, they can reduce demand, which reduces the ability for dealers to add markup, and...
  12. Introducing the 2024 Acura Integra Type S! On Sale in June

    As was previously mentioned, they are real, they lead to the air curtains in the front wheel wells. The intakes are oversized for their purpose but that's ok. I think Honda learned their lesson from the tenth gen Civic HB/CTR and so there is likely a mandatory "NO FAKE VENTS" order in place.
