that sucks, hope she’s walking unassisted soon and feeling well. Doesn’t take long to realize the “large “ trunk out back isn’t ideal for certain items lol.. gets very warm.
ITS and c8z both represent some of the finest examples of ICE goodness.. manual transmission useable fun in the ITS and...
hahahaha you had me going … I was like why did this guy tag me. I’ve never added homelink to my visor. Saw the exhaust and said “yes.. this is familiar but … wait a second!”
Got mine out at the track this weekend … started out dry then downpour for a couple hours. Looks much better tomorrow...
Great job… I was considering doing something similar myself, but decided it would take too much set up and planning when all the kids wanted to do was sit in the house and watch the show lol
not hard at all… I was babying it honestly. First day was wet and cold on north course. Second day a big chunk of my session(s) were red/black flagged. I didn’t get any good lap times bc I didn’t want to chase time and got so few clean laps I never really felt like I was nailing it.
Here’s a...
That’s a lot for a single evening wow … I wonder if they’re closing claims with some really expensive cars….
insurance is smart. always is painful and after each weekend when I don’t need it I feel like i wasted my money. But damage happens…. (Most) Cars are expensive.
I had a friend file a...
I met him a couple weekends ago at VIR with Chin. Real nice guy. He was raving about the eventuri intake and driving the snot out of his car. I ran into his videos which showed him following me around for a while…. Then I saw his wreck and was blown away. Sounds like he’ll be aiming for...
I love VIR.. was just there in my C8 Z06. I had buddies there with an FL5 and FK8.
I’m trying to decide if i should take out my ITS periodically to give the C8 a break… did you have any issues at all with the car? FL5 for my friends have done really well….
you’re right. the hatch is a very versatile package and the ITS/CTR offer a lot of fun on top of that.
I ended up keeping the ITS and rented a 3/4 ton truck to tow my track car the 7h to VIR. put my summer tires/wheels (CTR wheels lol) on and then it snowed today !!
Congrats on the blue ITS! I wanted blue #1 but I also love my white car and the silver one before it. The car looks good in any color.
glad you got a 4mi car! That’s awesome and maybe one of the lowest delivery mile cars I’ve heard of!
you can either worry about it and miss out on this opportunity don’t get the car or buy the car knowing 125mi even with mildly abusive miles still is likely going to be just fine, that’s what warranty is for. Ask them to take it for a a few mile test drive yourself and make sure everything is...
Admire the beauty … from a distance. Do not touch it. Your leg is too close actually. Stop. The. Matting. lol.
Looks great!! Lots of ways to keep the Alcantara clean, but one thing I learned with my Camaro was a *light* spritz of plain water on a microfiber cloth and scrubbing, seems to...
I think we just have very different takes on the subject. I do think you’re missing the point as to why a DIY community is annoyed by such a needlessly* specific recommendation… for fear of losing your warranty. Vehicles have a healthy range of acceptable tolerances, we don’t need to be an...
Agree to disagree. Again, unless this super fluid is truly something unique only to Acura and no other safe fluid exists, then sure. I suspect that isnt the case and it would’ve been nice if they said “be sure to use blah blah certified DOT 3 or 4 fluid, ideally Acura’s Heavy Duty magic, use...
haha nothing. My son almost bought a “lightweight mouse” for gaming. I convinced him to save his $70 lol. Always fun walking around the store though!
I think this might be a case of lawyers stepping into engineering … kind of like when insurance companies dictate medical care. it doesn’t make sense but they also end up being the gate keeper.
I find it hard to believe A) Honda makes a crazy frail/corrosion prone system or B) they make DOT3...
And finally (for now) fresh fluid is important and I bet the Acura stuff works quite well when fresh! I wouldn’t hesitate to go full send with it in there!
In Acura’s defense (and OP/optronix) :
the manual specifies exact fluids for brakes, trans, engine coolant. Brake fluid they say that isn’t Acura Heavy Duty DOT3 can cause corrosion…. but non AcuraHD fluid can be used temporarily.
I find it VERY hard to believe any of the decent quality...
No way! I totally disagree.
What kind of brake failure are you thinking could be caused by a non-OEM but tried & true DOT3 or 4 fluid? RBF or Castrol or another quality fluid. Don’t hand them toothpaste and ask for them to use that lol.
I’ve never heard of brand specific brake fluid in a...
