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

[ABPDE5]

I see this thread, I start considering modding my car.

I see this video, I forget that shit and start saving for a dedicated track car.

Yep. I agree.

Having said that, it should be noted:
This individual was running a brand new tune for the first time, in 105+ degree ambient temps, without (as far as I am aware, having watched his other videos) any cooling upgrades;
The failure appears to be a result of a failed AN fitting (coolant) on his RV6 660 turbo (leading to spiking turbo temps and a seized wastegate).

It's entirely possible that, had the AN connection not failed, this would not have happened.
It's also probably not a good idea to test your new tune on the track, in 105+ temps, without cooling mods.

Yep, for me track days are seasonal here in CA and I won't do any events outside Oct-May.

Got the ceramic tint done but waiting to post pics until I get the paint correction & ceramic coating done Monday. Still waiting for a new rear black emblem to get the "see through" effect. Waiting on Apex forged wheels & Artwork Bodyshop stuff to arrive (Sept/Oct). I think springtime is when I will start to do all the bolt ons & jailbreak the ecu - should have Flashpro support by then for sure.

I just keep uhhh, responsibly redlining the shit out of it in the meantime.

Nice, the dealer is predicting mine will arrive this Monday/Tues. Got it setup to have the windows tinted and XPEL PPF (front bumper, partial hood, front fenders, and mirrors) all at the dealership. What brand of ceramic coating are you getting? I had it done on my Tubdra and was disappointed with the performance/protection for the cost I paid. But I didnt know much about it back then, so partially my fault.

Very much looking forward to seeing your progress, Bobby. I'm living vicariously through you and your LCM ITS in my LCM A-Spec (no shame) and really cised to see those Art Work pieces on your ride!

Hard not to redline this car. I do like the red flashing gauge as you approach redline. However, the rev hang is most apparent at higher revs so I am more motivated to reflash now that I am past the break in period.

Waiting for a new PRL intercooler before I do my black front emblem. But after watching a video by Honda Pro Jason, I am intrigued by the Overland Designs alcantara interior stuff. When I reached out to them, they said the DE5 versions are in the works.

Right on! Which dealer are you going through again? I'm too picky so I took mine to my trusty tint guy - he's exceptional with windshields & their electronics. Premier Tint in Ballwin. I'm taking it to Detail 360 in St Peters for the coating. I still haven't decided on PPF yet, but I think I need to due to the wider wheels.

No shame at all! I live vicariously also through others on here. You have a lot of awesome tech info that I need to learn & Integra23 is carrying the torch!! I alllllmost picked up an LCM A-spec, but held on to my truck a little while longer is all.

Very cool! Good to know. The rev hand is pretty crazy, you're right. I haven't even turned off Rev match yet to see the difference - just being so busy.

I had the dealer do the emblem before I picked it up, but I would like a black PRL intercooler also and I think I want to paint the Matte plastic gloss black.

mungenast (St. Louis Acura) , I seen a couple of the tint jobs and PPF they had the companies do. All looked really good. Nice thing is , it will not leave the dealership. The companies come there to do all the work. The only other items Im adding at the moment is the splash guards and all weather mats/cargo. I was either going to find an over lay or get the center console wrapped. I currently can’t stand the gloss black in my A-spec.

I think they actually use Premier - I'd have to ask to be sure, but he's very close to them. They're a top notch auto group.

I like my Synth carbon a lot. At least for now. It's real CF, but not cured so it's flexible - with 3M tape backing. But it doesn't FULLY cover it.

Replaced OEM badges with optional black badges.

How long did the mudflaps take you? Mine just came in the mail and I told my husband he had a project.
