I don't have it on my Integra but I do on my Si. It's plugged into an extension with an outdoor smart switch and during the winter I turn it on 1-2 hours before departure, depending on how cold it is inside. On mornings that it's really cold it's night and day difference. The car cranks a lot...

Actually in regard to RPM, the DE5 and FB2 are identical, both have a 7000 redline with a 7200rpm fuel cutoff. Even though the 9th gen didn't have exhaust cams (because they flowed well enough to produce 200hp without them), the Si still generally sounds better than the ITS and the only...

ME. Firstly, sorry for your loss, sounds like your okay though which is what is really important. I might have already written a comparison post somewhere on this forum but I will resume my opinions on the similarities and differences. Speed/Acceleration: Night and day difference what 50%...

Always in gear but I only use the parking brake on or anywhere near an incline.

My observation is that Acura made these for a "wider" clientele. IMHO the seats would have been perfect if the bolstering was exactly the same size and shape, however it should have started where the Ultrasuede is on the lower half, up until where it tapers in. Sitting in the Type R seats, I...

Lol, what you described is almost exactly my story. I own and still drive my 2013 Civic Si, primarily in winter because the ITS gets stored December to March. We just got the Civic Sport Hybrid for my wife which we take if we're going into town together. OP, life is to short to drive a boring...

All the complaints you've voiced are to a certain degree valid, but remember they are opinionated. What's not okay for you might be perfectly okay for others. Quite simply the car is not for everyone. Any ideas what you will be replacing it with or has the white Supra already done so?

🎵 Which one of these is not like the other 🎵 Nice pictures!

Great post, I came to say more or less the same thing. The LSD is there to propel you out of a sharp, lower speed corner. Not only limited to the track but you even feel the difference in you try to power through a 90 degree right hander on the street. Also a bit of extra capability in the wet...

One last data point for anybody in the future who may stumble upon this thread when contemplating a similar situation for themselves. As a co-signer it hit my credit score a whopping....drum roll please...... 8 points 😅. Makes me feel stupid but again appreciate the support from you guys help...

During sunset LSM becomes a pale TEP

I finally got the chance to sit in the Type R on Thursday and feel them first hand. I totally understand why people would like them but I am even more happy with the seats in my ITS knowing that the bucket seats are not for me. The hip bolsters are too aggressive for my taste, and my daily...

I was looking for perspective, to get outside my head and see if there were any things I may have been looking at incorrectly. As it so happens, I was off on the aspect of how much it impacts my credit. Exploring that more after feedback, I see that it may dip for a few months but it should...

I should have provided a bit more context. I will probably be mortgage rates shopping in about just over a year. Since it's so impossibly cryptic how a credit score is calculated I'm wondering if a second hard pull from Honda in 2 years will still affect me since online they seem to say hard...

Very true, and I won't let this deal fall through because of this, but the final angle to this is that part of the thrill is finding loopholes. I once got a $20 specialized battery for 0.75 cents. I would have paid the full $20 but to this day i still smile having used Best Buy's corporate...

With freaking Honda (and Acura), there's no leverage though. There was absolutely none with the ITS but even with the Civic, if we walk away they'll sell it this month maybe next. We already got a good deal but they are not ready to pull out all the stops. Market is starting to shift back...

To a certain degree I concur, but honest question, how do you value your time? Every single financial decision that is more than $100 and involves leg work by me, I always look at it from an extra money earned perspective. In this case $500 in my account is about $900 before taxes thanks to...

Posting here just to get some outside opinion/perspective. My wife and I are looking to get a 2026 Civic Sedan Sport Hybrid and there is a program with HF where owners currently leasing or financing get $500 or more loyalty bonus. I thought to myself great, The Integra is eligible so another...

The dealership I bought my car from actually called me earlier this year to schedule an appointment. I politely declined and told them I'd consider it if I felt the symptoms otherwise don't fix what ain't broke. When they insisted I come in, I dropped that "If it was like the TLX Type-S engine...

Interesting, I didn't realize this. Mine seems to blow slower but only at faster highway speeds or on heavy throttle. I'm going to go for a drive without my phone connected at all and see if it dips the fan speed.
