Almost @ 500 posts

My goal for the week is to get up to 500 posts by Friday.

I could probably do it today, but I don't really want to overwork myself.

So since I got my 98 Cl in November these are the problems I have had (Reverse Chronological):

1) Driver's Side door is stuck shut. Locks and unlocks, but does not open - will be resolved on Thursday (Got the part, need to install it... about 5 hours of my Gf's time) - Been jumpng in and out through my driver's side door for a month

2) Shaking around 2000 RPMs... turned out my exhaust was not screwed tightly, and was resonating... They fixed it, but now at lower RPMs I'm getting a less severe shaking, but a shaking nonetheless...

3) A million small problems some that have been fixed, and others that I don't intend to fix until I got phat cash:

- POE error on CD player in the cold
- Wear on Steering Wheel
- Partition between driver and passanger side door is disconnected a bit
- Passenger side door doesn't open w/ key - lock is broken

The mods I've done have been really simple... I'll wait till it gets warm and I get more cash before I do anything...

1) All weather mats everywhere
2) Compustar 2wfm (1/4 mile range - really crappy range BTW) remote starter/Alarm
3) All Synthetic Fluids

That's been about it... I have a post somewhere with all the mods I plan to get... I'll probably go w/ VXCL for the HID system when I save up the cash.

P.S. If anyone wants a POS '93 Honda Accord for $2500... let me know!

It was $600 installed... I heard they are a pain to install yourself... I think you can get the unit cheaper on ebay, and the install isn't that expensive... I think it was $100 or $200 tops to install it... I think it is worth it especially if you don't have a garage and live in the freezing cold.

The car is pretty decent. I mean what can you expect for 10k... I'm glad it is still under warranty, so I'm gonna milk it until March when it comes off... then I'm on my own...

I still wouldn't trade the car though... it is a really nice car! Just complaining about the little things... runs fine overall!
