Yeah if the ticking kinda sounds like a diesel engine then its completely normal and something we all deal with.

What I'd really like to know is how you think your car has 245 hp???

Does the dealer have a dyno? How else would you know how much hp it has? I'd guess you picked up Middle Eastern version IS300, but I think that only has 230 hp.

Default dyno

the company that sponsores my integra has a dyno. we just threw it up there one day when we were waiting for the teggy to be done with its new supercharger. i personally dont know.. i cant find anything on it that should make it have more HP. its weird.. but im ok with it.. ill just keep adding to it. i kind of wish i would have gotten the 350 but seeing how i paid cash for the car (even though i got a great deal) it would be pointless to trade it in now.

Your gas mileage is probably suffering too.

Just an observation, your posts seem to be cynical and negative. CL is a place to offer insight and inspiration rather than being a Donny Downer.

choice 2 is for people who are satisfied but wouldnt mind more power. choice 4 is for people who are utterly disappointed in the 250s power. im a choice 2, happy?

as for the OP, its odd that youre comin with 245hp. if everythings right, grats, haha.
