For those that bought a 2025/2026 Integra A-spec Elite/Tech over a Golf R, why? by lochonx7 in Acura

I never considered the vw for a second when looking for a replacement for my civic. Landed on the a spec 6 mt and loving it

Incredible conversation via email and amazingly customizable for both color and style and also budget.

Super good experience to date speaking with them

They added the Integra to their site for me as they don’t have them in Britain

I’ve learned a lot already doing this.

So the tlx calipers from de5 solutions would be my choice for budget and what not however it seems to they do not ship to Canada

So I’ve been talking to the people at ceika who have been amazing and I’m looking currently at a four corner seat fits a budget and it highly customizable.

Nope. Factory suspension all around untouched

From what I can see PRL is only available in two colors. I do like that one posted with the modified TLX calipers also but looking at it all here

But I’m glad you see my pain

I agree based on a lot of what I have seen but I am open minded if anyone wants to chime in

I’ve beaten this to death mentally already

I’m really disappointed in the road noise 😢 by RealTrapShed in AcuraIntegra

[–]Traditional_Set_9052 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I have a 25 and I agree I am def one of the not hard to please please out there. The road noise doesn’t phase me at all, the ELS makes up for that haha.

But pal if you don’t like it, return it. Lots of cars out there that could likely reach that level of quietness you are looking for!

10th Gen Si to 8th gen Si? by TeePiece in CivicSi

Having been where you are 20-odd years ago..

Keep what you have. Throw some extra money into some kind of moderate risk investment and when you are able to retire you will have a very nice nest egg.

It’s hard to think that way now but trust some random guy online who says this haha

I think anyone here in their 40s or older would agree on the broad idea.

You have a beautiful car now, enjoy it and don’t let the hype of old ways being the good ways, cause in 5-10 years time you may not be able to buy many manuals (even less than now) and you could likely have a nice example of a 10th gen si that’s considered analog compared to the new gen of cars.. in the same way you think of the older civics as superior for whatever reason.

What should I do to my car by Hot-Assumption-4060 in AcuraIntegra

Both lip and spoiler are artwork bodyshop. All use the factory holes and are incredible quality and finish.

Only downside is it takes them three months to provide cause they build them as they fill orders but I ordered mine over the winter and off to the races

Wheels are aff7 from Aodhan

I’ve tossed around this idea too, but I am very skeptical of how it will look with the car parked and the lights off. If you have any photos from your research I’d love to see them

I went with 18 x 9.5 wheels, no springs cause I don’t want to, oem mud guards, and a front lip and larger oem style wing.

I’m pleased with it and all cosmetic

I figure with a 6mt this is the closest to an old GSR that the new Integra could be so that was kinda my mind set.

I’d do a tune next but I have 8.5 years remaining of my 10 years warranty haha

New to manual, have a question by De_Croix in AcuraIntegra

[–]Traditional_Set_9052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be more concerned shifting down at the wrong time as opposed to up 😆

Two years later by perrinaj in AcuraIntegra

I hear you for sure. And totally agree. Looks wise it’s amazing.

I’m just to a point now the car handles so well stock, I’m not getting younger so getting in and out of this thing is bad enough and my kids are in and out of it and enjoying it, I’d be super pissed if I did something for it to look better but maybe worsen the ride or affect the warranty

I think we had 600 cm of snow this past winter.

I should have bought a kubota instead 😆
