Well shipping the controller onto the next person today. So we will see how it is driving the car full time without the controller. Though to be honest I switched back and forth a lot from 0 - 3 on the settings so I don't think I will be bothered by not having it. If I eventually get one it won't be my next mod and maybe I can just have a small increase in throttle programmed into my tune and not need one at all.
Did some needed maintenance over the weekend. Finally off of the second change of break in oil after another 3500 miles. Taking this time to change over to using Redline oil as well instead of going back to Mobile1. Also did my yearly change on the rear diff fluid. Since I put about 20-25k on the car a year I figured doing it every year is a good thing. Sometimes I even wonder if I should be doing it twice a year at that mileage.
My garage buddy. Finally at 2.5 years he is pretty much trained to the point at the new house that he knows to stay in his yard and I can just work on the car without checking on him every 5-10min.
The bolts for the rear diff were on so tight this time compared to what I normally remember. Also is the first time I have changed the diff fluid since installing the new exhaust and the 3in piping really does make it a challange to get the fill bolt out.
While I was under the car I drained the catch can. The drain I installed earlier makes this super easy. I am not sure if this was 3000 miles or 6500 miles worth of driving as I don't know if JHR drained it when they did the change for the second round of breakin oil or not. Either way glad to know it is working at keeping some oil out of my blower. For reference that is a 1/3 gallon container I cut the top off to drain the oil into to see how much I got. I didn't measure how much that actually is though.
Ended up running out of time so wasn't able to get my Aerofoce gauge installed this weekend. Hopefully next weekend.

Small update. It was so late at night when I installed it so no pictures of the install but here are some picture of my wagon with its new carbon kit installed at a show this weekend. I purposely over exposed the second one so the kit didn't blend in as much. I like how it is subtle on the black with the carbon and doesn't stand out a ton.
The TSX also made an appearance.

I chickened out and took the lip back off before leaving the show on Saturday 
Thinking or ordering a second set of non cut springs and installing those and seeing what I think of the ride height.

maybe you are super lucky man, with an amazingly hot wife, and it isn't the car that is getting the looks?
