I have a lot of things to do, just have to find time to do it all.
brake ducts are in the works, my engine oil is almost fresh, tranny fluid is 3k old amsoil that will be drained for the cold spring season. Diff fluid is LE607, was put in last spring and I didn't no much tracking last summer. I might change it but most likely not.

brake fluid will be swapped out, new rotors and new pads as well - going with xp12front and xp10rears from carbothech. I got some tow hooks as well

the rest just involves whoring new parts that aren't on the car yet....

 

please go ahead and be a whore...

honda coolant check
looking into the 75/110 check

 

I'm not too sure what speakers I want, just starting to do some research, I want something that fits somewhat decent, and sounds good. Some kind of components for sure. As for the fipk I'm going to play with it, perhaps build a complete box for it, and ceramic coat it. But I think a lot of the heat soak comes from the intake arm, and being plastic, not much that can be done. Oh and I want those German OEM floor mats, but not for $400

 

I was looking into that gold foil tape stuff, maybe try wrapping it in that, or a custom heat shhield along that as well.how much heat can get transferred from air passing through the intake arm vs. where the filter is getting the air from.

 

can't wait to see your once all your parts are on. gonna be sick!

 

Not really sure, but I have a Scangauge to monitor everything, so I'll try a few things. But yeah heat soak from intake arm vs the heat of the Intake Manifold. Might be pointless, but its fun to play around with.

 

would be interested to see the results.

 

I did my oil change (OEM filter, 10w30 Mobile 1)
Recleared my Carbon Hood
Changed the cone air filter
Painted the calipers back to silver (they were gross looking)
About to install the top cooling plate once it comes in!

Thats all for now (thats all the Fiance will let me till after the wedding....)

 

I've got my car up on jackstands for a while. I was a bit bored on the weekend and decided to go through and check the torque settings on the suspension parts as the car has 90k's on it. So far I found a couple loose bolts on the front upper control arm, got them re-torqued to proper spec, so I'm kinda glad I did that as that could add some slope to the front handling. I've got a few more suspension bolts to check so I'll see how it goes over the next while.

 

Bulding a single exhaust using oem resonators, slip on type to reduce weight vs flanges and able to go back and forth from dual exhaust to single quick release
