Nice maintenance!
We installed it from above and it wasn't too bad. The only annoying part was there are square clips that hold the line up and we lost both of them because they shoot out after you unhook them. We ended up finding them both but just be careful when you pop them out. I took a short drive this morning and it feels great with everything I did. It's tough for me to say if just the line made a difference but I think it was a big improvement over the stock rubber hose considering it was the only rubber hose between the mc and sc.

We only used about half a bottle for the bleeding process.

Well since winter refuses to come, I decided to rotate my summer tires since it's been just over 8,000 miles and I need to drive to Pittsburgh tomorrow.





Also, I found this....






And then had to go get it plugged

Well the temps seem to finally stay below that 45 50 degree mark and I had the day off so I threw the Blizzaks on. Now I'm itching for some snow.

Yesterday marked two years with the type s and about 26k miles. The front brakes are starting to squeal and I can feel that they need replacing. I picked up a full set of Stoptech rotors and street performance pads from Bruce. Also I never replaced the bulbs when I got my new headlights from JnC so I finally pulled the trigger on the Philips 85122 bulbs along with ballast free LED fog lights. Can't wait to install!

Oh nice yeah I've seen a couple people with them. It should be a huge upgrade over the stock bulbs. Do you have a CAI? I'm kinda nervous that the fitment will be tight.

Eh I went back and forth with those, the phillips, and morimoto. The phillips were in the middle as far as price and got great reviews.

Oh ok gotcha. The way the v2 is angled, I'm hoping these just rub up against it slightly and fit ok.

Holy shit, I usually hate carbon fiber trim especially with wraps and stuff, but that looks amazing. Even 100x better than the stock trim. That gloss adds a real nice finish & a luxurious look similar to trim found on Audi's & BMW's.

I wish I could get this done to all my trim bits. I'd seriously pay to ship my trim out and get it done.

Awesome work man.
