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

[Krazydan19]

whole thing was about 4 hours, however, I did most of the work on the rears and sway bar, while my buddy did the fronts, then he did alignment. Kind of a friends and family thing. I think a shop would quote it out for at least 4-5 hours of labor. It's always a pain in the but, and every time I do it I say this is the last time, but I just can't not drop the car. Looks so much better. Happy to give up some ride quality for the handling and looks.

Looks perfect. Ya when I did my Coilovers on my model 3 I said this is last time after that too. Getting too old for rolling around on the ground. That being said I find myself talking myself into doing it myself. Want to show the kids….

Modding is like a virus you can't get rid of.

It sure is.

Is anyone having problems with any of their window regulators? my front passenger windows slows down when rolling back up. All others are fine

Saturday was install the replacement ECU day. You can read about that here.

But today was rip apart the center console day here at the casa. Because I'm too lazy to hit the "Individual" button every time I start the car, I installed Idlestopper's "Acura IDS (drive mode) controller."

At $95 it should pay for itself in saved time and effort after about 17 or 18 years. Now if someone could find a way to auto-enable "Brake Hold" I'd gladly pay $100.

And since I had to futz around with the shift boot / collar anyhow, it was high time to install the Raceseng Stratose Alcantara knob. And thanks to the $82.50 saved during their Black Friday sale, the knob was $2.50 below the cutoff for free shipping. So I really only saved $70. Yay!

And finally, I remembered to re-install the "center console storage" thing that holds the fob for my community's gate. I got it here.

I’ve noticed the same thing. Better yet, sometimes if I try to close both front windows at the same time, the passenger goes down while the drivers side goes up.

On a closed course in a CGI setting I may or may not have participated in a competition of acceleration with a modded Subaru WRX on a highway today. It had exhaust plus stickers was likely tuned with bolt-ons. My car has a black roof wrap, overpriced all weather mats, and a red S sticker on my shifter bezel. The driver can also miss a few meals without dying. I was stuck behind him on a two lane highway then it went wide open and a 'chase is a race' or so I've heard. With both vehicles at WOT I waved at him while coming around and passing him at very legal speeds (in other countries) well into fifth gear and got a thumbs up afterwards. Make sure you've got an annoying vanity plate folks because in those rare instances where your 300 HP Civic that's mildly faster than V6 Camrys outperforms other cars it really puts the nail in the coffin.

My apologies if you've read this far.

comparison kills all joy. I remain perfectly happy with the type S regardless of any other car on the road

Reminds me of the saying "comparison is a thief of joy" which is accurate!

Big roads in Houston. Can roll pretty hard thru there at high rates of speed.

Who said this was in Houston?

Until you hit one of the million tolls. Every time I visit family in Houston those tolls laugh at me in the face

 

[Krazydan19]

used to love the tolls in Chicago. Have my 40 cents set up in the window controls. Used to love launching out of the tolls. Good old days

Had my dealer look at it with my last maintenance service and they couldn’t find an issue with the track or motor; lubed the track and closed the door back up. They acknowledged it but had no power to replace as other Integras on the lot were doing the same thing but noted it in my file in the event something comes out in the future. Super annoying when it’s raining and I try to roll up the windows an inch (lowered an inch with the rain visors for ventilation)

Not a fan of the tolls either. Living near one doesn't help. Some of them are the best highways for fun runs though.
