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

[Integra23]

Where did you source your caliper paint? It seems to be a good match.

Paragon larger rear caliper and bracket kit

Thanks. So it’s a whole new caliper and mount? Where is it available?

 

[MNTeggy]

Installed the Overland Designs alcantara armrest.

Exactly what @Integra23 said. That is a bracket from Paragon.

There are many sources for Paragon Brakes. Some vendors on here source them.

Finally got it back from having the dents in the roof PDR’d! The largest dent was the most stretched the shop owner has ever dealt with in his 30 years of doing this work, something like 1/4-3/8” of displacement over a 2-3” diameter spot adjacent to the roof brace. Remember we are talking stretching of the metal, and not just largest overall dent.

He did an amazing job - car looks like new both in direct sunlight as well as under the inspection lights. The process of shrinking the metal as he worked the dent out appeared to me as black magic. Without his skill this certainly would have required a new roof, so essentially he saved the car for me.

Highly recommend RPM Dent Repair in Raynham, MA - great communication and even better results.

Pulled her out of storage yesterday and drove her around the block a few times. Snapped a few pics of the recently completed PPF & ceramic coating.

FINALLY had the intake installed, and couldn't resist getting the matching inlet tube as well. Also worth mentioning I had the EVS tuning lower ball joints installed, and brake fluid flushed and filled with Castrol SRF.

Looks great!

I still say you should wrap it in gold foil for track use ?! Gotta get that real supercar look like a McLaren F1 ?

beautiful setup

It looks fantastic. What is your overall opinion of the intake after a few days?

I'm very happy with it. I didn't quite know where to set expectations; I got it primarily for sound, maybe a little bump in power, and knowing that it looked like that pushed me over the edge. But now that I've put a few miles on it I can give some meaningful impressions.

Sound- if you're expecting a honking intake noise like a naturally aspirated engine, I'm sad to report that I notice nothing of the sort. It might be a little more pronounced and admittedly I still don't have enough aggressive driving to really come to a solid conclusion that it's not very noticeable- but as of this moment it's not really noticeable. I was hoping for more but also realized it's just not a noise that turbo engines are known for... but that said, the turbo noises are definitely more apparent. It was all I could do to hear any sort of turbo noises before- I had to do the whole "ricer flyby" thing by intentionally letting off the gas under pretty much full boost, and even then actively listen for it. That's all gone now; for better or for worse, the whooshes and whistles from turbo noises are a part of everyday life and I absolutely still have enough of that naive teenager that just couldn't get enough of it left over to enjoy the shit out of it. So overall B+ for noise.

Power- anyone who says the power increase isn't noticeable is full of it. It's a significant increase in push across the whole rev range! Very noticeable between I'd say ~3500-5000 rpm, which is right where I live for the type of driving I do. I don't go balls to the wall on the street hardly ever, so I absolutely appreciate the extra oomph in the midrange, and there's no denying it's there. A+ for power, with the caveat I really didn't have any expectations to exceed but I was quite pleasantly surprised.

Value- lol. I paid almost $2k for this setup, pretty sure it's easily the most expensive intake design on the market not even including the extra $560 or so for the inlet tube- which relative to the PRL for what, $500? That's pretty funny. But I've never been one to buy the cheapest option, and just looking at the picture on the website tells me it's worth it (I feel like with the Acura valve cover it actually looks even better but that might just be me...). Plus, the AHC garage guys recently put out a video where they swapped their PRL for an Infinity Design (I think including the inlet), and it made a significant amount more power on their built setup. Highly encourage everyone who owns an ITS to check out their channel for all their content in general, but that vid in particular impressed me. I don't have big power plans but it's nice to know I picked an intake with a proper amount of engineering effort put into it. Objectively probably a C- for value but as far as I'm concerned worth every penny.

Overall I highly recommend.

Great feedback, thanks. I didn’t see any tuning mentioned - your impressions of power are untuned versus stock? Any issues with fitment?

No tuning, straight bolt on and go. Zero drivability issues so far (knock on wood). As for fitment I did not install myself but the feedback I got from the shop that did the work was that it was not as straightforward an install as they would have preferred. They are an experienced shop that work on all varieties of performance cars, up to and including race cars, if that helps.

Installed Jogon matte carbon fiber center console and dashboard pieces!

 

[StingertimeNC]

I got the daash piece in Matte and I love it. It's pretty legit.
