The Z is an enthusiast bargain, just gets no love. Who cares if its based on a old platform. If that platform is good, it works. Plenty of good cars have done this. Having owned at the same time a 370 sport and 981, they are very different experiences. If I didn't still have the 981, I'd be...

Floor prep is key for epoxy, even with new concrete pour. Acid edge, dry it, clean it, coat it. Lot of info out there for DIY or you hire a pro. Been near 10 years since I did my new garage, the EpoxyCoat is still doing its thing. Only the expansion cracks had a bit of chipping. I...

right steering wheel scroll through the different menus until Oil life. Page 630 in the 2024 user manual. If low miles, it should trigger a change after 1 year when miles are not hit.

Most all of the stock temp gauges these days are idiot gauges . MFGs moved to lowest common denominator engineering years ago so they didn't get questions about gauges moving past 1/2 or what not, or it went up 10f in stop/go traffic with the AC on, must be broken. Remeber, a person is...

There is a price point where a used car with mods is worth the risk, higher miles, or a dollar amount that won't hurt you a ton. 45K is not chump change for nearly every person in america to just walk away from. Stock ones with a few less miles are in that price range: this isn't a 35K deal so...

after parking at EWR the last two nights with its 0F overnight lows, I returned at 10am today, car cranked a bit slower as expected and shifted with only a hint of brrrr by the gear box, which didn't take too long to get some temp in it getting on the highway. Honda MTL is damn good OEM fluid. :)

Miata is always an answer (and a damn fine one) however if you are trying to compliment the Type S we need Class leading shifting Class leading suspension Roof (roadsters are just different and the chassis is not as tight) this leads us to a 981 Cayman or even a 718. They shift...

This is my third white car, second white Integra in fact. I have had Black/red/yellow/silver/3 shades of blue. White, by far, looks the cleanest from 20' or more away. Get close and sure any car is going to look dirty. The dirt/salt this time of year you spot from the moon on a dark car.

I can only guess to the warning being there as there is no dipstick to actually check the fluid level for someone who is not mechanically inclined. The manuals are written with that in mind in a litigious society that rewards stupidity in too many cases. Oh, you burned your hand trying to check...

I personally am a fan of regular, but not OCD, fluid changes. OEMs stretch a lot of maintenance intervals to show a reduced TCO, but for the DIY crowd our time is free and the costs for fluids is nominal. Given the manual transmission fill bolt is under air filter, its a nice time to do it when...

For air only, I gather you are just using a bit in the master cylinder, pressurize, but have to constantly disconnect, re-fill, re-connect, and make sure you don't push too much out and go too low. I'm good with fluid in there, one time connect, disconnect. Balance of efficiency in methods :)...

Motive system pays for itself on first bleeding. Buy extra hose as after several years the rubber hose will age and crack, and you don't want a 15psi blowout crack in the hose. Ask me how I know... When done, flush it with denatured alcohol, it will air dry and will last decades if taken care of.

I really don't need these good reviews before 7am with my credit card near by :P Our other daily is a M340 with adaptive option and that is the bogey for me. Its noticeably smoother in comfort and sport all around then the ITS, and this is not how the world should be. My car should be better...

Waiting for some more reviews, but this has my attention. I have zero desire to modify the powertrain or stock suspension parts, but computer controlled dampening refinement...go on. :) This is the time of year up in eastern PA/NJ where more comfort is nice especially on highways where roads...

shame Honda didn't have the stones to name the oil VTEC 'Yo I'm sure its a fine blend but for the $ my keyboard would keep typing HPL.

This is why my dogs go in the backseat, keeps conversation light. We have a '25 german sports sedan as well, while yes its a bit more quiet (and 600+ lbs heavier) there is plenty of road noise with its 19" run flats. You want quiet, get a Lexus. And some redbull to keep you awake while you...

Dealers are like a box of chocolates.... 30y ago when I had my DE5, Lehigh Valley Dealer Acura was great. Small-ish, had single service advisor who *knew* cars, listened to what you were saying, advised and understood. Dare I say, a professional. Today, current owner group, management...

OP, you tried it, found it wasn't for you long term, you moved on. Minor quip I have is the theme of "But a comfortable car to live with daily, it is not." you left off 'For me/us'. And that is OK, things also change over time with what you will compromise on in your view. As for 'parts bin...

Top Tier fuel has a minimum required additive level. Mobil is Top tier. Non Top tiers are not guaranteed to do so. Lots of info out there if you want to go down the rabbit hole, but I don't lose any sleep. COSTCO actually does take non-additive generic fuel from the depot and adds it at their...
