so like many people here I find so many reviews on this car are written by people who often don't know what they are talking about (like people who hate the car based on lack of storage or the old infotainment). For this post though wanted to focus on the sound criticism. A big part of the...

Interesting about the porosity. As a related datapoint, my old S2000 Vin #176 from Sept 1999 had a similar issue. On the front of the engine their was a quarter sized spot on the aluminum where oil was permeating barely leaving a dark spot. They removed the engine and said Honda Japan wanted...

PPF is fine I have heard too... My daily driver is a 2020 M40i BMW Z4 in the Frozen Grey paint (very similar to the Gotham Grey). I don't have PPF on it and use the Dr. Beasleys matte paint wash and ceramic coating which are excellent which I recommend if you dont put film on the car. I know...

Now have the iLift working. It was plugged into the fuse box incorrectly. I am almost positive the dealer I bought it from unplugged it while it was on the floor for some reason - perhaps thinking it would drain the battery. But I got i plugged in properly and it is now working. Great for my...

So i tried the grease this weekend and most of rattle is gone. But i also noticed the lower 1/3 of seal had folded inward toward the glass. It must have been that way for a while with the previous owner but i pulled it out, applied the shin-etsu and have the seal properly aligned on the glass...

Awesome thank you Ryan! Had some of that with my 2000 S2000 which I sold last year and gave to the new owner. Time to buy more! thanks for this tip! Ted

Hi Viper, can you clarify on the squeek and lubricant? My 2017 has a slight rattle in the drivers side tweeter. The car before I bought it recently had an iLift and Escort Ci Max installed by the original owner so I believe the rattle may be from when the a pillar cover was removed. Just...

Congrats and beautiful choice! Gorgeous. These cars are absolutely amazing! Ted

iLift Activation Switch location? I just recently got a beautiful 2017 with iLift and the sensors from a car dealer in Chicago. I have read the manual online and have cruise off but the iLift is not working when i attempt to use the up cruise control button. The manual mentions an "activation...

For those in CA wondering about emissions, I had it smogged to get licensed and the disable plug on the JB4 worked fine and it passed. Car has been out of my hands last few days as having oil changed, new tires put on, replacing fluid on twin front motor units, new battery. The guy at the...

Thank you! This is awesome - thank you for this!

Styling first impressions car arrived from shipper just as it was getting dark last night so no real drive yet but have to say the depth in this red is amazing and the wow factor of this car is incredible. In person is a must for these cars as the pics do not capture how beautiful this car...

Thanks need to verify....

The one thing I like on this car vs the type S is these wheels! (thought people love or hate wheels!). I wanted these on the Type S and was disappointed could not get them but those matte black wheels with either this red or Nouvelle Blue are what I had spec'd. The only thing this car does not...

Was sorry not to be able to get the new Type S so just purchased this 2017 with every option very similar to the Type S I had spec'd. Was just shipped from Chicago to Norcal so should arrive Sunday or Monday. Here it is just as it was leaving for shipping. Excited to get it! Has all options...
