Pretty sure the tire pressure filling feature is well described in the owners manual.

I would also suggest you watch for a used CPO 2024 VW GTI with manual, and test drive it, too. VW foolishly dropped the 6MT in 2025, so only automatics are now available as new. The Autobahn is their top optioned model, followed by the "SE" in the middle. All use the same 241 HP 2.0L turbo...

After getting on the wait list for my Type S (none were available anywhere in the state to drive), I visited a local Dealer and drove the A-Spec. While I guess it was OK, my main memory of that experience was not much power and noticeable "over-rev" (sometimes also called "rev-hang") when...

I agree with you on the great annoyance of the missing HomeLink. Interestingly, my MK8 VW GTI SE daily driver is also missing this feature! Perhaps the Honda & VW product planners don't live in houses, or have garages??

I'm sorry to read your report on the continuing Over-Rev behavior after BOV install. A friend recently inquired (at my request) with his track buddy network and received a response from "?Honda People?" indicating their feeling that Tuners might not be addressing this problem, fearing problems...

Tunes are a different discussion (versus bolt on plastic pieces). Turning up the boost and adding a bit of fuel is a time honored way of increasing power, often with a proportional decrease in reliability. Probably effective if the stock turbo can deal with it and you run higher octane fuel...

I don't think it's a matter of "knowing about engines" as much as knowing common sense. Factory engineers spend tens-of-thousands of hours designing a new car - and one important parameter is certainly the development of reliable engine torque / horsepower. If performance could be enhanced with...

Nuts - I was looking forward to your reply, with hope of learning more via your ex-Honda mechanic. In my case (and as reported by others), the rev-hang / over-rev issue on up-shifts is not NOT affected by the car's setting for "rev-match" on downshifts. If you think of it next time you see him...

That's certainly a very real and viable concern! And it would take a quite detailed comparison of the A-Spec vs ITS to identify all the possible differences and part numbers. Obviously one would need a new rear bench seat, back rest, and head rest. Must verify all belt attachment anchor...

Just one thing that can be missed - unlike the regular Integra, the Type S has only 2 back seats. No center seat or belts for a 5th passenger.

The Rev-Match on downshifting was the first thing I turned off - actually the Sales guy did it at my request while still at the Dealer doing the intro first test drive. My heel-toe technique is normally fine on track - at least after getting the pedals sorted out to my liking. But on the...

Thanks for the detailed and very interesting comments. I again must state I've not tracked my ITS and indeed the undesirable Over-Rev "feature" might be acceptably reduced once a normal track "rhythm" is established. The problem might even be eliminated when consistently shifting near...

I'm a vocal critic (on other threads) of the ITS nasty "Over-Rev" (some call it rev-hang, but it's worse than that) problem. I used to do a fair amount of track driving, most recently with a low HP but great handling VW Scirocco race car (full cage, lightweight, no interior, fire system, belts...

I drove an A-Spec while waiting for my Type S. I recall it had the same over-rev problem. I was told the Type S would be "better". It might be (uncertain), but it's a shame owners have to put up with this behavior. I assumed the aftermarket Tuners would eventually address it, but might be...

I agree with ashmostro - the ECU is clearly adding throttle during high RPM shifts, which causes an increasing over-rev engine condition - even though throttle input has been reduced during the shift period. This is exactly the opposite response one would expect from a normal car (and I've...

I am very disappointed to read through this thread. The Type S "Rev Hang" (actually over-rev) flaw is the biggest single problem I've noted with the car. I've been told it's due to Honda's approach to emissions, but it's awful and not something we should, "have to get used to". I've driven...

Fascinating old test report article from 2009 - thanks for linking. Pretty sure I read it long ago, contributing to my aversion to using any type of oiled media air filter. Reported on that specific test: Compared to the AC, the K&N “plugged up” nearly 3 times faster, passed 18 times more...

I caution you to carefully consider some of the modifications indicated in your post. I'm amused by those who believe they know better than factory design engineers regarding engine oil viscosity, coolant types, or even gear oils. Without knowing detailed design specifics and testing, there's...

I've always been skeptical of those oiled filters. If they actually did anything to enhance the performance of the car (without possibly of doing damage), the factory would use them. Keeping dirt out of any engine is the most important thing you can do for longevity. So why goof around with...

I suppose they could be acceptable if maintained exactly per specs. But as mentioned, people over oil them - making a mess and damaging air sensors. Considering they offer no advantage over a conventional paper filter - I've never seen any reason to waste my time with them. Just pop in a new...
