Have not, but I have my ATF filter and switches sitting on my shelf gathering dust and the ATF itself in my garage gathering dust. So it should probably get done this week. I'm happy that all of the hardware can be reused as truth be told, I didn't but any of it lol... (probably a dumb idea but more a result of me ordering stuff on ebay for cheap). I might just call a local Honda dealer and see if I can pick it up.
All just time consuming and I'm working two gigs at the moment so I try to not spend my limited free time hunting down o-rings.
Well yeah, I understand they "should" be replaced but both of the gasket and o-ring were still very flexible. I changed them simply because I had them but wouldn't feel bad letting the ones that were in there. The spring was as springy as the new one. YMMV.
As for the washers they're usually re-usable 2-3 times when it comes to Honda. The filter didn't look cluttered up with debris, more like the drain plug it had a bit of metal shavings all over it but once again I want my car to be mechanically great not just passable.
Next is the LCA bushings... they're torn and not completely but still too much for my taste.
I have yet to drive the car with the new switches, hope I'm pleased!

I'm sure you will be. I'm considering doing the LCAs after this winter myself, if I do decide to do it I'm definitely going with the spherical bearings that Heeltoe offers, or with the Hardrace bushings which are a lot harder than OEM I think. Check the heeltoe website, I saw they recently got the hardrace ones on there.
Also, exciting stuff out in 4G land - the fact that they got KTuner means we'll hopefully see some 4G turbos down the line. I for one would love to see one of those behemoths pushing 500 wheel horsepower
I was prepared to make fun of it, but I'll be damned if that wasn't pretty impressive.
Rednecks get a bad rap most of the time (probably deservingly) but that was pretty ingenuitive. Of course I'm sure that guy probably met/meets an untimely end to his life in a comical manner anyway but that particular hijinx went better than I expected.
Yeah. I heard he was going to Thailand. For a thing...
Hope he doesn't end up in jail!
Well, burning to a crisp would one of them...if he truly is in South Asia at this time of year, it's extremely warm. Mind you, he may be used to it given he does live in Texas. I'd probably vaporize...can't take that sort of heat.

Until the rear differential explodes into a mess of metal parts
I'm surprised it took that long for them to get tuning options, beyond, Apexi Neo , but it should be cool to see what happens next. I wonder who will be the first to test the limits of the AWD system though. Nothing a few extra dollars can't fix with having it beefed up to handle the power.
He said he was going back to the homeland, which I believe is China, no? He'll be back soon enough, I'm sure. He's probably stocking up on knock off Cadillac parts for his V. So much cheaper!

lol yes. You know what they say, if it's stupid but it works, it ain't stupid.
Good news today, it was the twins birthday.... and my sister is pregnant I took the TL in country roads, all windows down, blasting music, doing a bit fast, some WOT in third.... today was a good day.
You're pretty ripped, man!
I use SPF50 now...I don't fuck around!
When you're a lanky kid like me your best bet is to get fit. Fuck Mr universe.
And yeah definitely should have put lotion, but by the time I realized how burning hot the sun was it was already too late. Damn kids, makes you forget.
That's prob the thing too, we're not used to heavy UVs here as much so when it hits I'm not prepared 1 bit. Every summer I get one of these douchebag tank top tan lines, can't escape it.
Regarding building muscle, eat like a pig and workout real hard. I used to weight 132 pounds, now I'm at a steady 165 (not really looking forward being bigger than that). I'm not saying this is incredible or anything, can't go completely against your genetics but with some modicum of effort and determination you can at least compliment your build type.
I wish I was a big guy, but then again the big guys probably wish they were skinnier to start with. We all have our battles. Nevertheless, putting on weight and muscle mass has been very difficult for me and I still have a prepubescent boy frame.
There are probably pictures of me still floating around on this site somewhere, stretchmarks and all. I've got to start working out again, it's been a lot of years. I usually only have to work out for a month or two each year and then just eat halfway decently to maintain a 225lb weight (6"1") in the summer or 235lbs in the winter time. All my life I've been accused of steroids because of the way I work out. I put on a bunch of size real quick and then stop working out because I'm lazy as can be. Luckily I build muscle extremely quickly but the downside of going up and down is stretchmarks. When I'm big they're almost invisible. As I shrink down they get more and more noticeable. Now that it's been many years since I've worked out they're becoming pretty bad. I want to go into my 40s in the best shape of my life. I plan to start working out in another 6 months when I turn 39. Daaaaaaamn that's old! It seems like just yesterday I was freaking out over turning 30. Wow! I got my TL when I was 28 and I remember thinking by the time it's paid off in 5 years I'm going to be an old man and probably not even into cars anymore. I paid it off over 5 years ago.

Yes. It rubs the lotion on its skin. It does this whenever it is told. It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.

There's one of my gym buddies that's like that. Big fucking guy, was always big, even when he was a teenager. Started working out in his early 20ies and he quickly built a nice shape, not typical of steroids use but people still think he did some. He never did as far as I know and I have no reason to believe he did and he's turning on 40 now... People are just jealous though Guy has put near 20 years of hard work in the gym and it shows. Nothing is "disproportionate", everything just flows naturally and he none of the telltale signs of roids/testo/HGH.
I have stretchmarks too, on my pecs mostly since I was under developed. When I put on those 30 pounds within a year it was inevitable... but you know... guys don't really care about that.
I take pride in saying the little I did, I did it naturally. I'll stay natural until the day I die. We have enough heart diseases in the family for me to go on and add roids abuse to that list.
I bought them a cash register, some duplo blocks and a doctor kit. When they ripped the paper off the doctor kit I cracked "only to play with your sister, not with boys". Took a few seconds for people to laugh it.
And wear sunscreen guys, sun is brutal even if you're having fun with your nieces. @_@ I feel and look like a lobster
It's odd- my arms and face always tan super quick and easy, but the rest of me? Ghostly. And as soon as I try tanning I just burn. I hate sun burns!! It sucks when it's a hot evening and your skin is all hot feeling from the burn... Some shitty sleeps. But then again, I don't have AC here And showers, for that matter, aren't any better

Smart man! I stick to spf30, but we don't get the heat you do down south. I remember reading that after spf30, there isn't that much difference in protection, oddly enough. I'd still be rocking 50 though if I lived in florida. It can't hurt!

There's nothing like picking up some cool gifts for your nieces/nephews. Seeing the joy in their eyes is something else- almost makes you feel like a kid again as they tear everything open

Gonna sound like a whiner, but I'm on the 4th floor (top floor) of my apartment building, no AC (I'm cheap AF), all windows face 1 direction so no wind actually "goes through". It's like Florida without the zombies and Disneyland.
What saves me when I need to sleep?
Sleep with only a bed sheet on. Spray bed sheet with a decent amount of water. You want it at the stage right before wet. Get under sheet, make sure it's as tight as possible and turn a fan on. As the water evaporates, it wicks the heat away from you.
You still wake up sweaty as fuck, but at least you fall asleep. When you wake up, jump in the shower, eat breakfast, go to work and live happily.

I have a friend like that too. The guy is Austrian and he's always had a massive chest. He must have a bit of Arnold in him
Once he starts working out, it gets even bigger and he ended up with stretch marks also afterwards when he becomes lazy, lol. I wish I could get a ripped chest like that.

You buy them gifts but it's actually a gift for yourself.
They're at the age money doesn't matter, so I'm taking full advantage of it. Cash register $15, doctor thing $10, duplo $15.
So $50 with the taxes in and it's a good day for them and a great day for me.

Apartment buildings are brutal for being hot- especially the top floor. You get the cool views at the price of it being 738462 degrees in your place. Fuuuuuu.
I'm glad we are in a bungalow now. Even a two story house is bad enough without AC. I'm too cheap to buy an AC unit also

It's not the AC unit that's the issue, get one for your bedroom and you'll be fine for ~$150 at best... it's the freaking cost of running it haha.
