Were you running stock suspension? Any fitment issues?

This is good advice. The stock wheels are 9.5in wide and have a 60mm offset. This ensures that the center of the wheel is aligned with the steering axis, which reduces torque steer. Given an identical wheel width, a smaller offset will move the center of the wheel away from the steering axis...

If '26 is actually the final model year, we might be looking at sub-10k units total.

Yeah. I throw the car in reverse for a second and then brake sharply to dislodge them.

I am not trying to argue that Acura / Honda spent $15k on upgrades for this car (re-reading my comment, I realize it can come across that way). I am pointing out that that is the amount that the consumer is being charged over the base version of the car and that the performance upgrades are the...

I think criticisms of rattles and other QC issues are valid, but I also think expectations often need to be tempered. Acura may be a "luxury" car brand, but it has never carried a reputation for the level of luxury you'd get from a Lexus or an Audi. And, the Integra is their entry-level car. I...

Car looks fantastic!

Glad to help!

I agree re: telemetry. The Type-S lacks all the connectivity features of the base Integras and appears to have no independent internet connection. I believe it would have to piggy-back on the app / CarPlay / AA, etc. to transmit anything.

I believe there was an article published approx. a year ago that stated Honda was no longer sharing this data, after seeing pretty severe consumer backlash. Granted, there's no guarantee that's the case or that it will stay that way.

Could be completely wrong on this, but if memory serves, the HRC ITS prototype is running a Borla exhaust.

Oh, they absolutely were an afterthought. So was the dash. If I had been in charge of designing this car, a copy / paste from the base model w. a color / material change would not have cut it for me. Having said that, I don't find they actually bother me when I sit in them. I guess what I'm...

Yeah, I think the seats are fine. Would I have preferred "re-skinned" FL5 seats + seat heaters or something? Absolutely. Could they have done better? Yep. Do the seats bother me in any way / do I find myself thinking about them before / during / after driving? Never. I get that seating is...

I think he's just saying it maintains the same distance from the inside of the wheel to the suspension components, which is true (very, very minor difference). Your point is valid, though: because this setup maintains the same distance between the inside of the wheel and the suspension, but...

Haha, $75k is the starting point I had in my head, too. It's a lot for a F/F and certainly not a perf / $ car by any stretch... but the "special factor", will be a legitimate pull, especially if it's assembled by PMC. (And I think the PMC part is key here, both because I'd want the special...

Any chance your fob was close enough to activate interior lighting, etc., at various points?

If it makes you feel better, I did the same thing at the same place 😭

Damn. That Ti ring around the delrin(?) is a really nice touch, especially when paired w. the collar. Chris's craftsmanship is fantastic. I'm really impressed with the fit / finish of the knob he made me, and the blending of materials / finishes here is great. I can't recommend Lathewerks enough.

The 2.0 in the RDX, TLX, last gen Accord, etc. is similar, but not quite identical. It's been a year or two since I did the deep dive on this, but thanks to Accord owners looking to add power, there is a lot of information out there on the differences between the K20 in the FK8/FL5/DE5 (K20C1/8)...
