Thanks Victor, I did notice that I was nowhere approaching the limits even in all season tires at my first 2 track days, including the Glen (except the brakes of course). What alignment do you recommend. I have -2 up front now with the pins in and other than fluid and pads I'm stock. I don't...

I especially liked the bit you said about slowly making the car less daily-able. I'm looking to do just the minimum stuff to make it a little better for casual track days (not trying for lap records) but I fully daily the car. I have only done the PRL RMM so far and already notice more buzzing...

I would make double sure the sensors are plugged in, then clear the codes and cycle the PB 3-4 times. I always do EPBs manually so I'm not familiar with maintenance mode issues.

I think it's all about perspective. I wonder if the OP had driven 3 integras if maybe he'd have found his was somehow damaged/defective and the others were fine. My first car was a 1990 Honda Accord and it was stick. My ITS is very reminiscent of that shifter. It's mechanical, yes, and it is...

Also, you don't. There are two different methods to wind them gently in manually. Not discouraging the scanner route, just saying it's a nice to have, not a need.

Lumbar is great in the ITS. 2 track days and no real issue with bolstering/sliding around. I also have lower back issues and they are plenty adjustable and comfortable for long trips.

I would also like to see interior pics 🙂

I am not using shims, but I'll have to look into those! I doubt anyone bled the clutch either time, but on a very hot day on a very heavy braking track I was good for 20-25 minutes with no fade, so it's a good thought for next seasons bleeding and I'll make sure to call it out (if I don't switch...

Just hit Watkins Glen yesterday with RBF600 and CSG CP pads. The pads were good, I ran with VSC off and still cooked the fluid in 5 laps though. It's possible the dealership didn't get the last little bit of stock fluid out. Missed my second session while the little race shop flushed me with...

As for changing the rear brakes it seems like there are 3-4 options. Someone stated you can do something manually with the ebrake to manually put into service mode, but that didn't work for me. I don't have a scan tool, but these are the same style brakes I had on my Legacy and I was able to do...

How does a temp sensor in the sandwich plate differ from one in the oil pan?

I don't have nearly as much experience as you, probably 7-10 track days, but I also had all seasons and very crowded sessions on a medium to small track. That said stock pads and fluid were just fine as long as you're focusing on momentum and not max braking. I already changed my pads and will...

I lubed the pins themselves rather than the ears if that helps. I think my squealing is coming from the compound rather than lube issues.... Which for CSG CP pads I'm not super happy about... We'll see how they do next track day for whether I'll just stick to OEM for street and something more...

It's also my daily so I'm not excited about adding NVH. I have heard the benefits of tuning will go beyond power to healthier timing with less boost, less rev hang, and more controlled power delivery. While that's encouraging I've modded a car too far in the past so it's baby steps for me for...

I'm sure people have covered this elsewhere, but I'm new here so I'm wondering how are you doing for traction? I bought mine slightly used and it came with all seasons (DWS06+, which I loved on my subies). Weirdly enough I have plenty of traction at the track once they are good and hot but on...

Yeah, I always just buy it from the dealer. The Subaru ones always had the color in one end and the clear coat in the other. Not sure if Honda does the same. Also forget any notion that you'll be able to make it perfect. You can apply multiple coats, use a razor blade, wet sand, polish....it's...

Not sure where you're seeing 215 a tire, they are 354 at tire rack. I'm actually kind of interested and live near Albany NY. I was gonna go for the EC02s but I'll have to think about it.

AI says: Stock Spark Plug Gap: 0.028 to 0.031 inches (0.7 to 0.8 mm). That's using a prompt asking for it to use Honda/Acura documents. That said, your tuner should tell you what gap they want. Do you need a step colder plug based on their recommendations? Are you using new plugs or gapping...

If you shift a little slower (pause at neutral before proceeding to the next gear) does the "grinding" go away? Not that you want to, just as a test. I do find my gears are crunchy if I try to speed shift, especially in 2nd.

Had my first track day today with the ITS....wow I was not ready for how good this thing would be completely stock. The previous owner even put all seasons on it and it still had no problem keeping up with most of the cars in the intermediate group. I'm super happy bought this car! The back...
