I got the S cleaned up and ready to go...
Now you need some sort of front downforce device (splitter) to complete the package.
That's some shiny paint job there Rob.

I am in the market for a splitter, any suggestions? It seems APR only makes one for the AP2.
No hardtop yet because I still enjoy going topless on the track. I know it's not the fastest way around but it's the most fun. I probably will end up with hardtop someday though.
That paint is almost 7 years old. I washed it with Dawn detergent to remove the old wax, hit it hard with bug & sap remover, Groit's Quick Shine, then finished with Mother's Carnuba. It was a winter project

It most definitely is time, Pedro. Diff should be changed at about 7500 under normal wear despite the book saying 15k. Your car is newer so you might already have the newer version of Honda's transmission fliud. It is just as John said- gray bottle/white cap with a label that is green/red. ACDelco or GM Synchromesh Friction Modified is also good to use for the tranny.
As for the diff, the newest version of the LE-607 has the same protection properties, but is easier to pour.
I know Hardtopguy will be bringing those fluids with him to the Mod Day at Mike's. Save shipping and get them then.

Doing both the diff/tranny now will be plenty to get you through the year.
although it never happen with those twin blondes back at college.

Dawn dish detergent, clay bar, Sonus FX-2 polish applied with an orbital polisher, Klasse AIO, Klasse sealant, and finally P21S wax.
I did finally order a 6" air powered orbital for next time. I did the clay bar during the Quick Shine and wasn't that impressed. I think most of the stuff was removed by the bug and tar and the Dawn.
Oops, sorry, now back to the HPDE stuff. Shiny cars have a lower cd...
