State law says you can't have any darker than 35% so that's what I did. Ebony interior makes it look darker so it's all good as far as I'm concerned.

 

When the time comes I'll have to do all the stuff too. Still have 80% oil life from when I bought it. (Feb. 14th)

 

Nice Valentine's Day gift to yourself.

 

Got my reverse light LEDs installed. Now I can actually see out of the tinted windows at night when backing up. Also installed a new cabin air filter. Once I pulled out the old one it was obvious the previous owner had no idea it was there. It was the original filter, black as my interior and full of so much crap I'm surprised I even got air in the car. Pretty easy install took about 5 minutes.

 

Sweet, I'll have to get those later on too, the CREE LEDs right? Mine suck.
Also with the cabin filter did you notice the A/C blowing a little harder?

 

i like what youve done so far. great work.

 

There's a bad joke in there ya know?

Yes the Cree LEDs. These are the exact ones he gave me.
I did it last night so I didn't need to turn the air on. I will know today after work on the ride home. Based on the condition of the filter I'm willing to bet that the air flow had to be constricted. It was so filthy I couldn't even see light through it.

 

Yeah I know

Alright, mine probably needs to be replaced too.

 

2 screws, 2 clips and the whole unit pops right out. Just be careful not to break the clips holding it to the dash. Pull straight out.

 

Thanks

 

AMAZING CAR!!!!
Time for coilovers

Did you paint your rims with Duplicolor gunmetal? I was planning on doing that, but I chose Satin black.

 

Yep turned out great. A little darker than the car but they look awesome and they helped quench the new wheels need for a while.

 

Did a radiator flush and fill with Honda Type 2 coolant this weekend. Pretty easy just need another gallon to top up the overflow.

Also changed all my lugs to open locking. Someone was either trying to steal my wheels or needed a lug and stole one last week so I figured it was time to make them all locking so anyone thinking about it would have to think twice. 4 lugs are open locking and 1 is a Gorilla acorn.

This week should be the ATF filter and 3rd and 4th gear pressure switches along with the PS fluid change. She's getting more attention in the last two months than she's gotten in the last 6 years.

 

They know you're putting money into it.. thats when the car gets the attention. Would you stick with OE alarm or an aftermarket one?

 

I'll probably just add sensors to the OEM. I have a Clifford on my truck and that sucker costs me $750 installed!

 

3rd and 4th gear pressure switches installed. Feels like s new car. No more shudder, or laggy shifts. Well worth the 20 minutes and $89. Did everything from the driver's side wheel well.

 

Nicely done sir

I didn't notice a huge difference when I did my pressure switches but it helped my piece of mind

 

20 minutes?! Are you serious? You just took the wheel off and the cover and pop out - pop in? That was it?

 

Austin I've heard you pop in and out in way less than 20 minutes and leave her saying "that was it?"

 

Way to keep it on topic Tyler.

 

y u mad bro?

In all seriousness, I need to change my air filter as well. I think it's almost been 3 years

 

Jack it up, place a jack stand, take the wheel off, remove one clip and move the plastic shield under the front of the car. Locate the first switch, disconnect wiring, loosen switch and remove, screw in new switch and washer, clip wiring back on. Remove two 10mm bolts from plastic cover over second switch, follow same procedure as first switch. Couldn't be easier. I'll be doing it again in 50K for sure.

 

I had a definite shudder at 1,500 rpms (between 45 & 60 mph)or so that went away immediately.

 

God this needs to be done ASAP for me then.

 

Can't beat it for the price, the time it takes and the peace of mind knowing you may have prevented a catastrophe of major proportions ($$$$$$$$$$$$).

 

Luckily I got that warranty then lol

 

Did the power steering flush yesterday. Easy job took about 15 minutes. Used about 26 ounces of Honda PS fluid. New fluid is clear the old stuff was dark brown. Now I've changed all the fluids except the brakes.

Got my ATF filter and associated parts this weekend also so that will be the next task I tackle.
