Default I got an online feature

Ok, so it's not a SuperStreet or Honda Tuning feature but I'm still pretty excited. I've had this car since new (2001) and pretty much drive it everyday so I kind of take it for granted sometimes. It's not until you get a "Hey, cool car" comment from a random stranger, a little kid pointing excitedly or stumble upon that unexpected awesome back road on you're road trip to make you appreciate it again.

Anywho. The car now has about 280k miles on it and it is far from perfect, but it's been a great car. The vinyl wrap has been on for a little over a year now and still holding well. On to the pics.

Wow, congrats on the feature. Car looks amazing for any mileage, let alone 280k. Article says you've had five diffs.. that's one every 56k miles. Are you really hard on the car?

Thanks D, looks like your car has come a long way since the last time I saw it .

Thanks everybody for the kind words. I've owned the car for a long time so have had plenty of time to think about and shop around for the parts I wanted.

As far as the Differentials go, I really don't feel like I'm that rough on the car, lol. The first set of 4.77's I don't think were built right. They blew up on me while I was on a mountain run in SoCal. The 2nd set of 4.77 were built by Elton Lo @ Raceline in SoCal and those lasted for a good 100k miles before they let go. I then bought a bad diff with 4.77 from JasonSBAp1 in San Diego, but he scammed me and still owes me for that. I then had a "local AZ shop" build my next set of 4.77, but for some reason those didn't last very long. I then picked up a set of richmond 4.57 and really liked those, but the seals started leaking pretty bad. I pulled that diff out and installed a diff with J's 4.44, the 4.57 are still in my garage waiting for new seals and it'll be my backup diff. I feel like the 4.44 are a great match for the AP2 trans.

That Mugen intake looks terrible on your car. You should sell it to me.
