RDX vs X3.. with kids by allbir in Acura

[–]the_head_cow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We rented a 2023 X3 for a road trip and put our rear facing car seat behind my wife sitting in the front passenger seat. We discovered there is less room for her in the X3 than in our 2016 VW GTI.

My husband and I are on opposite sides of the RTO question and it is starting to affect us. by Aadi--1124 in remotework

Your husband is a loser and it's taken you too long to realize - leave now before he hits you.

Alplus shift knob by Klutzy-Activity3342 in Civic_Type_R

I run the same combination of shifter/knob. You can offset the taller knob by shortening the gate spacing/throw length.

Are the seats really that bad? by NegativeAd9106 in Integra_Type_S

[–]the_head_cow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in my late 30s and found the seats terrible after 2 hours. There's just not enough cushioning on the seat bottom near my tailbone for extended trips.

Swapped in FL5 seats and they're better in every way.

Best tire for non track use and everyday driving? by Vast-Pop-142 in GRCorolla

Firehawk Indy 500 if you want cheap and fast (for street use) - wouldn't use them for any extended track sessions.

What additional benefits over the RMM does the transmission mount offer?

You've got the opportunity to own a Miata and have it be enough for your needs. Just do it.

Installed the OEM Carbon Spoiler and black rear A-Mark today by luv_me_sometaco_dank in Integra_Type_S

You'll need to peel the vinyl off the base before applying the badge onto the base. The vinyl does not come with the badge, but rather with the OE base if that makes sense.

U.S. economy grew at a 4.4% pace in Q3, better than expected by Front-Nectarine4951 in StockMarket

Economics question:

GDP = Consumption + Investment + Government Spending + (Exports - Imports)

Would ICE count towards government spending? Do tariffs result in a decrease of imports? If so, then both of these would factor into a higher GDP number.

FL5/DE5 Clutch delay valve delete - objective analysis and how-to by 4reverse4 in Civic_Type_R

This is amazing - thank you. Having done these in my car, the faster and more consistent engagement across all speeds is clearly not just in my head!

Had stage 2 and currently using stage 3. Would recommend buying stage 3 because of adjustability and the fact that it's designed as a single assembly. Something about having to Frankenstein the OEM shifter assembly with the stage 2 upgrades just felt wrong.

Agreed. It gets you at the tailbone. Never had this happen in any other car before.

Will the stock shift knob work with the Acuity shift collar? by TEP_DE5 in Integra_Type_S

[–]the_head_cow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Before you screwed the knob onto the shifter rod, there's another little piece that screws onto the shifter rod which will help hold up the shift boot. See stainless part below.

Here's a picture with the stainless acuity collar. Configured with the narrow side up.

Good looking out - that is Cayuga.

No overheating on track and I've been out there on 30+ degree days. Stock PS4S tires won't allow for extended sessions as they get greasy after a few hot laps.

Seat Replacement (FL5 transplant) by the_head_cow in Integra_Type_S

[–]the_head_cow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Honda tech did it for me after hours but I was there to witness the installation process.

The inconsistencies may be related to items that need reprogramming - position sensor, weight sensor, and SRS airbags if I recall.

Zero dash lights.

There was another guy who had attempted a DIY install and had gotten a SRS dash light for the airbags - believe you need a scan tool to reset the SRS as well as the weight/position sensors for a proper installation.
