New TL-S Owner

Hello Acurazine.com. First off, thank you for the vast resource of information. I am a prior CB7 owner, prior 06Si owner, and now this is the fusion of both cars. I have extensive experience with Hondas, although working on cars is just a hobby. My purchase is an 07, bone stock with 70k miles. I am about to do a tranny flush, timing belt (Aisin kit), thermostat service. We are also going to do a 3m 1080 CF vinyl wrap of the roof.

I did a dash swap to fix the cracks and I will say it was very intimidating. I also reupholstered the passenger bottom as mine was torn and the texture of cardboard. I am experimenting with Leatherique on the old bottom and I am very horrified/disappointed by the results (look for another thread).

**mod edit**

I look forward to contributing in any way that I can.

Looks like the Tasmanian devil had a field day in your garage.

Nice work and welcome to the forum. You're Type S looks very clean.

It's a 2 year old's sock, you use what's lying around, and that sock was the MVP when moving the dash in and out.

LOL, do tell. What was the issue with the e-brake handle? Protecting you or the dash?

Small world. If you're interested in stopping by while I do the timing belt or tranny flush, just let me know. I'm going to flush the tranny the same way I did my Odyssey, by popping off the cooler's hot line, put the outgoing old out into a bucket, and pouring new fluid in from the top. It replaces 9 quarts instead of 3. There may be free beer.

Yes, but I believe you only have 15 mins from the time you post to do so.
