What did you do to your Integra Type S today? 🙋🏻‍♂️

[Indialantic]

Just got home from Pike’s Peak. Drove my Type S up to Devils Playground to watch the race. Several hours of stop and go traffic up hill made for a very long morning and a very sore leg.

Saw the two Integra‘s at fan fest and on the course. Kinda want the hood from the Type S race car.

Yeah. I couldn't believe it sold out so fast. I guess these limited edition cars people buy and hold on to?

It's a purpose built race car. I'd hope they're buying it to you know- race it.

I wonder how many were made... and where are they? Would like to see some pictures of this fleet.

It wouldn't surprise me if they only made a handful of them, or they're made to order and they have enough orders to put new orders on hold.

It's a very interesting prospect and actually a bargain at that price, but to be honest? I'd just spend a bit more and get a GT4 Clubsport or M4 GT4 EVO or something if I'm that serious about competing. Most manufacturers support "customer racing" programs similar to this. Unless there's a FWD specific class- and there very well might be, I'm ignorant when it comes to the actual real world around racing, I just am aware it exists- but I can't imagine this being super competitive compared to some of the other turn-key race car options out there.

Let's say they made 50 of them - and that seems like it may be on the high end - that's pretty small $. It's a really just a cost-center / marketing expense. I'd love to see the books on how HRC works and how everything ties together.

You're getting into that area of space where things are very interesting to me, but also my head starts spinning.

I'm just smart enough to barely understand my current profession... trying to make sense of TAM/profit/post-sales support/etc. equations for something like a customer race program conceptually would look something like this:

Had my windshield film protected today and applied a ceramic coat for PPF (in this case Glass protection film) on top of it afterwards.

Am tired of replacing windshields. Had to replace 3 windshields in 2 years on my vehicles and had stone chips again in 2 of them within a year. Will see how the film holds up and hopefully the ceramic coat will help against the wiper blades from wearing it down and “clouding” up.

If you coat the windshield and stay up on the maintenance you won't need to use wipers at all. It's helpful to hit the blade with the maintenance spray after each wash as a back stop.

@dmd2005 did you go Clearplex or Exoshield? XPEL is bringing their product to market later this year.

Did my first oil change today, also checked my transmission fluid level. As others have reported, mine was also .3 quart low with the car level. The car currently has 3k miles and it’s 1 year old.

what race ramps do you have? Dimensions?

I have the 67" with 10" lift but needed the extenders since the front would drag with the factory height.

@PRDE5 's don't look like they're that long - I"m curious if he had issues.

I want to pick up a set of race ramps for oil changes etc as well because the front jackpoint looks like it's a PITA to get under.

No way you will get a jack under.the front without them. I roll on the race ramps some then I can get a jack under it. That jackpoint is a good 4 ft back from the front bumper.
