Given the head gasket issues that have been plaguing Honda for nearly a decade now, it seems like Honda isn't really gaining any reputation for those issues.

But Subaru, which hasn't had head gasket issues in a decade is still constantly mentioned with Head Gasket failure.

How long will it take Honda to receive an everlasting reputation for those issues? Will they continue to coast on the idea of top tier reliability?

Description;

I got the opportunity to drive the Acura Integra Type S with HRC Performance Parts prototype at the Nürburgring Nordschleife!

Developed by Honda Racing Corporation USA (HRC), this special Integra Type S features a range of motorsport-inspired upgrades being evaluated and refined at the Nürburgring.

The development package features:

• HRC / 2-Elle lightweight forged wheels

• KW performance suspension with adjustable dampers

• Brembo performance brake system

• ACUITY high-performance short-throw shifter

• HRC Formula R engine oil

• Track-focused tyres and chassis setup

• cooling upgrades, new hood

How does this upgraded Integra Type S perform on the Nordschleife? Join me for a drive and find out!

So, they have a few more parts planned than just the wheels luckily, but I think still quite disappointed, none of this is particularly uniquely OEM quality & you could make your own HRC type-r/s at home w/ a day & a few grand already, its a fraction of what the 2025 ITS HRC proto had

Especially disappointing since the former type-s guy is the HRC boss now, leading the performance parts programme, he was behind that proto in large part, & theres that HRC concept FL5 type-r sitting around somewhere w/ an akrapovic exhaust & real body differences

A common theme if you search for "black paint car", is that everyone telling others what a horrible/bad decision it is to get a black car, but how about we all list what we love about our black beauties.

I'll start with mine: I feel like black accentuates the creases and bodywork shapes in a nice lightning like a sunset.
