For the 10th and 11th gen Civic (non-Type R), Ktuner is typically considered superior

On my '19 there is a brake hold light that activates on the dash when you come to a stop if it is enabled. If it shows as activated on the dash but you roll at all w/ your foot off the brake, that's not normal.

Yup, no reason not to use it if you like it. The car is just maintaining brake line pressure when you come to a stop, so it's really nothing different than what you are manually doing w/ the brake pedal. In my Si, I've got in the habit of pressing the brake hold and sport buttons as soon as I...

The red is amazing in person. Still not a fan of the orchid interior though as it seems tough to keep clean and the color along with the suede makes it almost seem perpetually dirty. The CF mirror caps seemed strange as they didn't actually cover up all of the red and honestly looked pretty...

You'll get better fuel efficiency w/ higher octane, although I doubt it's good enough to offset the higher cost. https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a28565486/honda-cr-v-vs-bmw-m5-ford-f-150-dodge-charger/

It's been a while since I've driven w/o a tune, but as far as engine braking goes, on the stock tune, the throttle doesn't close completely when you let off. I think it's kept at like 5% or something around there for emissions reasons. On my tune, the throttle is allowed to close to 1%, and I...

Cruise control still works as normal. Just when it is enabled, advanced VSA is disabled.

Also worth waiting to make sure some factory defect doesn't pop up that they could try to blame on a tune. Plus, your clutch will appreciate getting broken in without the extra torque.

Likely the same exact clutch as in the 11th gen Civic so clutch slip is likely based on what's been reported. Roll onto the throttle at lower RPMs or make sure you are at higher RPMs before going WOT.

Not sure I could stand dealing with lousy commuter car all-seasons. Really disappointed that Acura didn't offer a performance summer tire as an option. Last thing I want to do when purchasing a new car is pay to instantly swap out the tires.

Yes, no, maybe. IF I had to purchase a new car, it would certainly be at the top of my list. I love my Si, but really would like to get back into a hatchback. I'm definitely going to test drive one to see how it actually compares. If it seems significantly softer even in sport mode, I might...

"It won't last long"... aka "it's already sold, but stop in to ask about it and we'll try to sell you something else"

Agreed as I was hoping for the Integra to at least equal the Si from a handling perspective. Was hoping the adaptive dampers offered firmness on par w/ the Si when in sport mode, but it sounds like it's a bit softer. Now what that actually means from a handling perspective is yet to be seen...

Any dealer will install other tires for you, but you'll be paying full price for them unfortunately. Really can't believe Acura put such crappy tires on the top package or didn't make a performance tire an option. They really seem to limit the potential of the platform.

Yes. You can always fall back to wired CarPlay or AA.

Based on how the 10th gen worked, I believe you are correct. The tune will follow whatever sport/normal/comfort engine setting is selected and in individual you'll be able to mix and match the tune/suspension/steering settings.

In the 10th and 11th gen, Ktuner allows for different boost targets in normal and sport, so it should be the same for the Integra. Maybe it'll even get a 3rd option for the comfort setting.

Interesting, first I've heard that they turned the L15 specifically for the Integra. Interested to see how it differs.

I'd imagine it will be trivial for Ktuner and Hondata to support the Integra as it will likely just be another ECU version of the same 11th gen. Probably short work to just transfer over the Si tunes for the 6MT. Will probably take a bit longer for the CVT since that hasn't been paired w/ the...

Just to add, biggest issue seems to be the clutch on even some lightly modified cars not being able to handle the added torque.
