I test drove a 2023 aspec manual, was ok but it's definitely toned down in comparison to a 2019 Si which I also drive on occasion (my dad's car). I expected the same if not more umph feeling but it wasn't there, you have to really push an aspec to get it to perform. I suspect with some mods voe...

The nut would use a 19mm or 3/4" socket BTW. Dorman part number: 611-150, GM part numbers: 9594683 and 10194314

I set the caliper to 0.68" to show where it falls in the conical area. Here is a photo of 5 in random positions. The black plastic fake nut would then screw onto the lug nut for a cleaner finish, that is what the outer threads between the nut and actual conical end is for, we would have no...

YES! Will post pictures shortly. The conical edge starts at 0.625" and ends at 0.89". Quick math, at 0.68, that is about 20% down from the start of the conical edge. If you look at the tip GM rounded them from the inside thread to the tip, which would give you a little more breathing room if the...

On it, will have some time to caliper the lug nuts tonight, I got a good feeling. Those old factory nuts have the grade 8 steel feel and weight to them, you would need a cobalt or better drill bit to tap them.

@StingertimeNC I have a friend who works at Honda, its hard not to know someone on the Northwest side of Columbus who is not connected to Honda in someway. We have good sushi in Columbus BTW :) I am surprised there is not an annual car show in Marysville for the Honda's/Acura's. Firebirds and...

@Frenzal Thanks! I am going the BMW wheel route, and thanks for the heads up on anchoring it. I am designing a simpler approach that should only require 1 drill hole in the floor for the 8mm buttonhead bolt, though the bolt may need to be 35 or 45mm long. My plan for anchoring is to drill the...

UPDATED: THESE ARE NOT THE CORRECT SIZE LUG NUTS @kjechel on post #37, you said you machined 12mm nuts to 14mm? Where those aluminum lug nuts? Did you try conical seat 14mm steel nuts? Steel on Steel should fair better than steel on aluminum. I have hardened steel lug nuts from my trans am...

You made a good choice. I am waiting for my ITS, 2 weeks ago I put a deposit on one, supposedly today Jan 27th they are starting to build it. Using that site previously linked it looks like there is a severe shortage of blue integra’s, type-s and non type-s. The paint is amazing. I am waiting...

When they stop making this and the CTR that is when you will start to see the resale value stay solid. I suspect we will see a slight rollercoaster at first as some impulse buyers find the car is not for them, after the first few months/years. Only takes a baby - reason I sold my 2007 Si years...

I suspect the Modern Spare could just fit under the floor if the spokes could come through the floor. I am thinking I may cut a perfect circle in the center of the floor to allow the spokes to come though. Anyone with a Modern Spare care to confirm if it would fit if the spokes were allowed to...

They plan on building up to 3,600 ITS’s a year, I forget where I read this but this was floated last spring I believe. I was told dealers can get up to 7 per year, 458 dealers that is about 3,200 cars/year. 1,900 sold between July and now (7 months), that is about 270/month (3,200 year). It...

Could you take the wheel to a machine shop and have them first open the holes then re-machine a 60 degree shank for the factory lug nuts? This would obviously cost some $ but then you would not have to worry about using the flat flange nuts. The use of the hub centric ring in this particular...

Hey everyone, nice to meet you all! I am taking possession of a type-S in 2 weeks! Pretty excited. I am also trying to solve the spare tire situation. Do you think the Modern Spare (or other brand 18") would fit within the tire area of an ITS if you let air out of the tire? I am wondering if...
