well my ITR is shocking me that is. everytime i get out and go to close my door after a drive i get a "shock" from it as soon as i touch the metal. any idea what it chould be? hurts like hell sometimes!

 

Has something to do with the seats I think. Mine does it too.

 

It's a Honda with cloth interior. Par for the course.

 

so no way to get rid of it huh?

 

mine does it too

i don't even close the door with my hand anymore.....i do it with my ***

 

Helps if you put both feet on the ground before touching the door (after you've opened it, of course).

About three years ago, some folks had those ground straps that hung under the *** end of the car. Still not sure what those were all about

 

In the summer a lot of static electricity builts up. Just ground yourself before leaving the car.

 

you may also notice it worse when you are wearing silk, polyester, and other such materials.

 

That's actually a good thing. I've seen on tv where people filling up their cars caught fire because of a static electric shock while pumping gas.

 

my civic always did that, the itr never has though.

 

hell yea that hurts.... happens to me almost everytime too

Been there done that

 

ground yourself SON
LoL

 

Look out at the gas station. You could blow yourself up!

 

I always touch my car before I even remove the gas cap because of the fear of a static electricity discharge.

 

They make JDM anti static clings but hard to find and not very popular.

 

Wouldn't that be a funny way of goin out?

Blowing yourself up at a gas station: Priceless.

 

if u wear a watch, ground yourself by touching the watch to some part of your car. took me a while to figure it out but been static free ever since

 

yep mine does the same. i think my seats and watch have a play in the shock therapy

Actually happened to a mother in an SUV here in Chicago last month. It set off an entire explosion at the place; it was pretty messed up.

I don't have that problem in my car since I still have the leather (terrible) seats in mine. However, simply ground yourself first...all will be fine.

 

The best way to ground yourself is when you get out of the car, keep one hand in the door handle in the arm rest bolster and keep a finger on the small metal screw in the middle of the handle.

Ought to fix the problem.

The negative reinforcement ought to help adaptation to the new habit.
