You're going to love the roof spoiler, EA!

BuLtL00

Your car is coming together nicely..do u mind me asking how do u remove the engine cover.I know there are 2 clips that need to be turned in order to loosen the cover.I did that and the cover got loose but not coming off.Is it attached someplace else or it just needs to be pulled up hard??Thanks

endles/acura

04WDPSeDaN,thank you.The first owner did a nice number on that bumper.

swoosh and Steven Bell already love that spoiler.Looks good sitting in my living room....lol.

BuLtL00,thank you sir.That cover has the 2 plastic screws in the front,once you loosen those, grab the cover with both hands (in the back portion) and pull/wiggle the cover up.It will come of.Up movement is the key.Dont worry it wont break that easy. Good luck.

@endless, is that the ebay roof spoiler? if so I suggest removing the tape it comes with and replacing it with something stronger. And c'mon, you know we all wanna see that thing on your car, lets go!!!!

If you can do front lip in this cold weather you sure can do a roof spoiler

truonghthe

endless now you need to wash and wax your car so it can match the rest of your A-spec kit

endles/acura

Redsand353,got that roof spoiler used from another member (EFItech).I'm using scotch extreme mounting double sided tape that holds up to 20 lbs.I will be waitting for warmer days,want it to come out perfect.

truonghthe,its ok it will never match .I'm ok with that.

Went on a little trip this weekend,pulled some awsome numbers:

endles/acura

you getting close to 400 buddy.....keep at it

rossv1

Where'd you get the Scotch tape from? I only see 3M at Autozone and the like and its not strong enough to keep a couple of the gaps I have in my Aspec kit.

Steven Bell

iTrader: (2)

EA, let's see how long it takes you before you get it installed, regardless of the weather!

endles/acura

swoosh,will get there soon.

rossv1,got the tape at lowe's.

Steven Bell,its going to take a while.Cold up in here.

endles/acura

Steven Bell,i hope so too.

Can't do much of anything in this kind of weather.

Decided to tackle that oil pan leak on my next oil change.Will see what i got in store.

Mileage update: 141,249 miles

Steven Bell

iTrader: (2)

Dude, your TL doesn't look too bad/snowed in. I'm just wondering how you'll get it back on the streets? I know that plows probably barricaded you in.

endles/acura

Steven Bell,yeah it wasnt that bad.I had to shovel my way out.I hate this weather.

For next oil change:Got a oil pan in order (part # 11200-rye-a00) + honda ULTRA FLANGE II SEALANT ,Paid $113.00 shipped for both.Also got the usual genuine honda oil filter.
Will also be trying the 0w20 mobil 1 oil.
Stay tuned.

Mileage update: 141,288 miles

endles/acura

All set to get the oil change/oil pan gasket job done.....





Projects on hold due to weather conditions:
- rear a-spec under spoiler
-roof spoiler


Mileage update: 141,450 miles

iTrader: (5)

E/A maybe I missed the post or my brain has quit archiving old stuff....but any reason why you are changing the oil pan? leaking?

endles/acura

Nothing wrong with the pan,only the gasket is leaking. Just going to replace the oil pan also.

Will take some pics of the leak before i swap it out.

Steven Bell

iTrader: (2)

I hope you get some better weather......SOON!

endles/acura

One of my license plate bulbs went out,so i desided to get dirty.
While i was there i fixed the threads on my license plate(all 4,last owner jammed some weird screws in it).Also changed both reverse light bulbs and must say these bulbs i put in rock, much brighter.

Sorry she's very filthy.






Will finish all the other projects soon.... i hope.

Well done....

endles/acura

Steven Bell,thank you sir.

Oil pan gasket job:

Before :


The bottom of the subframe ,oil pan and y-pipe covered in oil.

Bottom end with no pan on.


Not that bad for a car with 141k.

New pan on Side view...


As the picture shows, removing your crank pulley will help you reach those bolts.


The leak on the old pan exposed....NASTY

Not that much sludge found on the bottom/inside of the pan.Normal for a vehicle with these miles.


Happy motoring everyone
