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...

Seafoam is a brand name treatment, but IMHO its more on the useless side of the spectrum of fuel additives. If you use non top tier fuel and are concerned, use a few ounces of Techron concentrate per fill up, and toss a full bottle before a tank before an oil change. If there was an actual...

The issue to me (from sampling 5K runs a few times now) is fuel dilution, it is there on our car and really any DI engine. That's the main reason to have a bit more starting viscosity, especially if you are running extended drain intervals. Note: the tech in todays blends and high quality VIIs...

Dealers (and their service departments) are like a box of chocolates. These cars are not rare, but not overly abundant. If you are set on a specific color combo, you lose leverage so I would be flexible when calling dealers, especially if they have more then 1 on the lot makes it easier...

So you can pick 1 thing to add what is is 1. 15.9 gal tank 2. Seat Memory and auto tilt mirror 3. Homelink Not an easy choice to me :)

Dilution is a bi-product of DI engines, not the sport pop mode. Short trips in general are not great for oil life/extended drain intervals regardless of DI or not. I do a lot of HWY miles, not a lot of short trips, and I have measured dilution after 5K with both of my UOA, not as bad as the...

Its a helical (gear based) LSD, so just MTL. modifiers are for clutch based ones to provide necessary friction for engagement.
