Yes, interested as well. Also any pics/vids of the S15. I don't know how I missed that originally, S15 is on my bucket list of cars I need to own before I die.

Man. It's down to this or Eventuri for me. You say they're backordered? Is that resolved or would I basically have to get in line now and get the intake 6 months from now?

Glad you guys are enjoying it, I'm glad people are engaging. Conversations like this help all of us, if people can bother to read through it. It also helps if people don't get offended because someone disagrees with them.

I hope I'm wrong too. It is an exceptionally rare occurrence, and maybe Honda "does the right thing"... but I just don't share in the optimism that it will happen. Other than that I think we're on the same page. I sincerely am sad that you're so thin-skinned. If you think this discussion is...

Come on now, we're just having a discussion. Why is it almost every time someone gets strongly challenged on a message board they think they're being attacked? Isn't that like, why we're here, for heated discussion? Not sure where you get rage from, I just think you're way off base. If strongly...

This is the entitlement I'm talking about. You can call it pejorative, I call it educational. So many people get wrapped around this idea of "specialness" of the Type R, but that is such a supreme fallacy. Please tell me, what incentive does a dealer have to "make an exception" for a Type R over...

This is an emotional response. And to be completely frank, an entitled one. Honda will "make this right" by making the repair under warranty. Zero people would pay "market value" or whatever for this car with a replacement engine- this might be true (but honestly probably not given today's...

This whole line of thinking is complete nonsense. Why bother with a powertrain warranty at all then? Engine goes, welp, that's the end of it. Car's gotta go! Seriously, wtf. I get that it's frustrating that this happens to a brand new car but thems the breaks. I'm just glad that this...

Yeah I think you're throwing a not insignificant amount of money away. The 3k mile myth was back when dinosaur juice was the only option. Oil and engine technology have come a long way, despite my earlier claims of oil nerds being the worst. They are, but you can definitely go longer than 3k...

Other than what was already provided? Any more depth than that is for Big Honda, if they care to find out. Also worth mentioning, I've gone down the lemon law path in the past. It's not a fulfilling route to resolution, but it is worth pursuing regardless. I wouldn't expect a replacement car...

Gorgeous. I would buy these but you're on the other side of the country. Sad. Bump GLWS.

Probably. I'm just saying, fool me once... That said, now that I have an Acura and not a Porsche, I have used their oil service once already, and that is probably the end of it. I'm not going to nerd out on which oil I select, like I said I'll most likely just stick with tried and true...

Wasn't just you, my friend. That said, it was Friday evening and I had some small batch Nikka Japanese whiskey myself... but now that morning's come it's good to see some common sense enter the chat. It's pretty crazy to see how many folks were just like "that sucks, I'd demand a brand new...

Oil threads are the worst. I've seen this before. One exists on every automotive forum, I'm sure of it. People chime in with very strong opinions on what's "the best", and people have very strong opinions that anything other than what they use will undoubtedly lead to catastrophic engine...

Yeah... unfortunate situation but some interesting takes going on here. A lot of people are chiming in confidently suggesting to just "get a new one". Somehow I doubt it's that easy. Reminds me a bit of the connecting rod issue on some 4.0 L Porsche flat 6 engines from 2021, when they were...

You are 100% correct, and honestly I should have mentioned something about this... I'm in the same position right now. Even if I wanted to do something to the car, I don't want to do it myself but I haven't found anyone I trust to do the work either. I also haven't looked very hard, but you're...

I'm thinking Homelink. That is also an egregious oversight but also one I can live with.

Very interesting take. Not sure why I didn't make that connection... I don't know if I'm committing a faux pas by attempting to dig in and revisit this weeks after it occurred, I know it was a traumatic event and I'm hoping because OP has already discussed how much he wants to get back after it...

Dude lighten up, it was clearly hyperbole. The fact I have to explain that is sad, honestly. But... it's not just me that notices this. Seriously, just pay attention to any review. It's pretty funny actually the amount these dudes get shaken up. I've posted enough examples of this, if you...

This right here ^. I don't have an FL5, I have a DE5, and one of the primary reasons for that is the stupid suspension. It is not a Porsche GT product, it is a 4-door Civic, I don't know where this thought of "race car stiff good" comes from. People validating their $5-20k markups they paid...
