Yea - wonder what others think about this ..... I did a significant partial PPF on my 2024 ITS - which cost $4500. With all taxes, options, and Zero dealer markup - the car was $60K, and now perhaps worth $48K on a good day. After some months of reflection, the PPF cost is simply too...

As anyone who lives in cold climates knows ..... tire pressure will fall about 1 PSI for every 10 degree F drop in temperature. So tire pressures must be adjusted with seasonal temperature changes. Don't know what tires are supplied with the Aspec, but the Integra Type S "summer" tires are not...

I'm still interested in a decent scan tool for Honda / Acura vehicles. Not the cheap $50 models - but rather something that is actually useful. Coming from the VW / Audi world - is there something like the Ross-Tech VCDS for Acura's?

Well - that's an interesting point. Having driven manual transmission cars my entire life - both on street and track - I'm used to heel & toe rev matching on my own. As such, I asked the sales guy to turn OFF Rev-Match on the first test drive and have never re-enabled it. The car is in winter...

Thanks for posting the VW article - had not seen it. Based on that information, it would appear VW (at least in 2020) was working to minimize the effect. Again, I had my 2009 MkV GTI for 10 years and never noticed a problem. Have only had my 2023 GTI for a few weeks, but based on only one...

Sorry, but I must disagree. It may be true that all Japanese manual transmission cars have a Rev Hang problem (no idea if that's the case), but I can guarantee you it's not a problem with with my 2023 VW GTI, nor a problem with my previous 2009 GTI. Many friends have German cars with manual...

No - But one terrible thing for the clutch and drive-train is the horrible "Rev Hang" problem, which makes it very difficult to shift smoothly at high RPM. I remain hopeful Honda will someday issue s software update to eliminate the problem. It's a major design flaw in an otherwise remarkable car.

Try to store with non-ethanol fuel if possible. Fill the tank. Use a fuel stabilizer - I've used Stabil for years in all vehicles and power equipment. Get a good quality battery maintainer which will automatically charge whenever needed, but is NOT a dumb trickle charger. I typically clean the...

Exactly what are your objectives? Have you written them down, so that after completing the modification you can accurately gauge the success? You state wanting to maintain the comfortable ride quality and existing shocks (shocks & springs are normally carefully tuned to complement each other)...

Yep - as others have suggested, you can adjust the volume of the particular service presently being activated by using the radio volume knob. I seem to recall there is also a way to get to the various volume functions via the touchscreen, but would have to sit and play with the system to find it.

For what it's worth, my gas cans for the power tools are always filled with 91 Octane and Stabil. In my area, most fuel contains that rotten 10% ethanol, unsuitable for any length of storage. But there are stations in an adjoining county offering "No Ethanol Premium", which is 91 versus 93...

I enjoy great sounding engines more than most - but there are limits. Never heard the term "popo" before - Wikipedia to the rescue. With luck, he will transfer to my area and concentrate on a few of the local Harley riders!!

It would sure be nice if consumers had a choice to opt out of (and not pay for) all the useless electronic crap jammed into modern cars. If you think it's annoying now, just wait until the car is out of warranty and un-driveable waiting for a $1000 out-of-stock useless malfunctioning sensor.

Assuming the "Hondata Jailbreak" you mention is some type of aftermarket ECU tune, does it eliminate the terrible ITS "rev hang" problem on upshifts? How many of your 10K miles have been using that tune, and how often does it generate engine fault codes or other annoyances?

Interesting comments regarding possible undisclosed manufacturing "improvements" that might be in the 2025. Suspect such learned knowledge is an ongoing process. So if I were you, I'd find a Dealer willing to sell a 2025 at MSRP, put a deposit down, and get on their wait-list (maybe more than...

Yes, mine works as you describe (depressing the clutch does NOT cancel the cruise control). Very annoying - I wish I could control this behavior. No other manual transmission car that I've ever owned worked that way. It's almost dangerous and has caught me by surprise on several occasions.

While it doesn't sound like it - might that delay valve also have some function tied to the very annoying "Rev-Hang"? I'd sure like to get rid of that.

Thanks - probably an incredible amount of great information in this file. But it's 11,000 pages! Suggestions on how to find things or search for specific topics would certainly be appreciated!!

As all track drivers quickly learn - old brake fluid can be a real problem. Learn how to bleed brakes (and replace fluid) yourself, and do it before every track event. I know people who even do it again at lunch time. Severe brake fade often gives you very little warning - and can be a most...
