I bought my FL5 last year and a house this year so I feel I'm doing alright. The whole financing argument is garbage though and "rich" people usually don't say "don't finance". There are a lot of extra caveats to that and would be way too much to get into. But borrowing isn't taboo, and...

It's a general truth that's been morphed into almost a wife's tale. The real danger is applying pressure and people who use the gear shift as a handle. Basically stopping it from naturally flexing. Resting your hand on the shifter without putting too much weight on it is fine.

It depends on the availability of the Type S, but I doubt it will not have a mark up. I think the main line people were towing was the Integra not getting a mark up. Problem with the regular Integra was its a slightly updated SI, which MSRP'd 10k more than the SI. Which meant even with a...

I was having discussions with people when the Type R pricing came out that they'll just wait for the Type S because it will be the same price as the Type R. I told them they were insane if they thought Type S pricing wasn't going to be in the 50s and I don't normally make "I told you so" posts...

I thought of that, but that pushed the accelerator out more and as it goes for the pedal box I find the brake is too high, while the clutch and accelerator are set lower. I want the brake to engage slightly higher than the accelerator and be fully engaged a bit below the accelerator, it gives...

You can probably confirm if it's mirror related by turning it/folding it in and going for a drive. Obviously be careful, but getting a different angle on it will tell you if you should play with it more. Any body panel gaps around the mirror, you can stuff something in there and retest.

It's really a personal decision as they are, for the most part, the same car. I will say, since those seats aren't vented, you will be a real sweaty person in that bucket. That and I don't like crackle tunes. So I'd be jockeying for a lower price because I'd be looking to get rid of the...

My passenger side has a very slight turbulent air problem, but it only occurs windows up. Regardless the issue was likely there prior to the PPF and tinting and its more than likely related to a hard to find body panel gap. Maybe putting PPF and closing a body panel by that .1mm was enough to...

Honestly, proper forged wheels will get you most of the way to this model. If you have the carbon wing and forged wheels, you are likely there if not lower.

Also confirm that my car has wireless carplay and android auto (work/personal). If its the same software that is in your vehicle, it has worked flawlessly for me over the last few months, it does take about 30 seconds to link up sometimes, at worst.

This is one of those situations where the dealership is the one putting in the warranty claim and I guarantee they aren't including "our techs beat the hell out of the customer's car prior to failure" in that report. Once Acura get the full picture, if there is no other funny business, they'll...

I want it to sound like an FL5... No seriously, I don't want to ape an Abarth or UEL boxer; its a K20, people swap K20s into their cars for a reason. Whatever the FL5 is going to sound like, it will be saying it with its chest.

In case and cupholder/armrest depending on where and how long I'm parking.

I hurt my lower back/SI on dead lifts about 2 weeks ago, and yesterday I had a bit of an extended drive after feeling fine and I found the seats held me in so tight that all my muscles in my low back and upper legs just locked up and I had to get out the car and do essentially warm up exercises...

Just a heads up, I'm sure you guys already know; the BBS CIR are damn near dead ringers for the stock wheels and they are forged. I also believe they come in both the stock size and the 18inch for extra tire meat. I know they are relatively pricey, but so would be replacing a stock wheel/set.

I'm currently 38. Someone earlier mentioned getting grief for it, I've only seen grief from women and occasionally a guy who is too worried about outside opinions. To me, kids are the arbiters of what is cool, if a 10 year old likes your car, it's cool. They are unweighted with the concern of...

I can't believe you guys like comfort mode. I find it crashy, it feels as if the suspension just gives way too easily until you run out of wheel travel and then suddenly stiffens up over the last 20% of travel. I much prefer sport as it feel like a static amount of damping, it's not suddenly...

I do 1k below 4-5k, oil change and then occasional single gear pulls into redline-ish until 3k, oil change again and she's all PowerBand after that.

Did the dealer notice these things in the return? Seems wild to me and not worth the risk.

Depending on the dealer/lease agreement, and the type of modification; the dealer may want more out of you even if you returned the car in a stock condition. We aren't talking about just changing wheels here, I'm assuming?
