Others may disagree, but modified cars are always worth significantly less money than a factory stock car - at least they are to me. You should be able to negotiate quite a bit off the normal published used car values. But I personally would look elsewhere for a stock car without mods, unless...

Interesting - we have some weird State pricing laws dating back into the 1930's. Perhaps they are responsible for the lack of any significant fuel price differences at Costco versus other nearby stations? While we've had a Costco card for some years, I've found their store prices to be pretty...

Funny - We always hear "praises" for Top Tier Fuel from the companies selling them to us - generally at higher prices. But we never get to hear the other side of the story from those selling the good ole normal tier fuels for less money. Somehow the skeptic in me has this mental picture of a...

Get rid of the terrible Over-Rev problem and it would be a nearly perfect driving machine. Well, I guess HomeLink and a sunroof would be nice, too.

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...
