Detailed mine in & out, new driver's side fog light and fresh brake/clutch slave fluid in preparation for this 4 day, 1000 mile rally:

Michigan Mille VIII 2013 | Michigan Mille

 

Sounds fun

 

Fabbed & fitted my shift ****

 

That is really cool. Looks great, nice job.

 

I had the windows tinted and I repaired an intermittent issue with the intercooler pump.

 

Let's hope you do not get too much feedback from it.

 

I'm sure the gain is worth it if he does..

 

Thanks. It's become a signature mod for me.

@180 & MrM - no feedback nor gain...that channel is permanently muted.

 

I can't see the mod...photo is too small!

 

Looks uncomfortable. .. with all the small holes on it. .. definitely different congrats on it

 

Sorry about that but the postage stamp is all I get when I link to the pic in my user gallery. There's a full sized image in my album if you're really interested. Isn't there an easy way to link bigger pics in posts?

Anyway, I replaced the shift **** with a Shure SM58 microphone, and no, it's not uncomfortable. The ball is maybe on the small size but it feels good in my hand - I like it better than the slick stock ****.

 

Yes I agree the slick stock one was getting a bit wierd for me so I upgraded to the StarTech shifter feels awesome in my hand

 

Added the missing driver side wiper stem rubber isolator and clean out a very small amount of debris from under the wiper cowl and lubed the wiper control arms. Put anti seize on the wiper stems to make it easier the next time to remove wiper arms.

 

Yesterday I installed the headlight moisture kit thing, from the TSB regarding the headlight fogging up. Today I did the lock beep/chirp mod.

Chirp mod successful.

Fogged headlight thing, not so much. The kit was just a few replacement plugs and the big caps/plugs with some kind of ventilation slit in them. Not sure thats gonna fix it. It keeps fogging up and getting moisture in the passenger side. Oh well.

 

Before you install these kits you should dry out the interior of the light unit as I am sure that they are as capable in keeping moisture in as in keeping moisture out.

 

I thought I did. But there is a little bit still in there. I'll take out the plugs and drive around when the weather is good and get it nice and dry. Good point. Thanks.

 

Hey guy, sorry your having such a time with those headlights fogging up. I bought my 08 new and was having the same trouble. I fixed it by parking the car in the sun for about 2 hours, then started it up and turned the headlights on. I then removed both rubber plugs from the back and took a hair drier and blew hot air into one of the lamp openings. After about 5 or so minutes of blowing hot dry air into them, I quickly put the caps back on. I have not had another problem with fogging lights yet. That was about 3 years ago. I will just do the same thing again if it fogs up again. Good luck!

When you take off the oil filler cap and then remove the extension I assume that the oil filler cap goes back directly onto the cover using its own gasket with no sweat.
Rob told me that I could if I understood him correctly. I refill with oil down the filter housing so the extension is of no use to me for holding a funnel.

 

Painted the windshield surround body colour...well, at least as close as I could find...Duplicolour Honda Graphite rattle can. Pretty happy with it for now but I may have to revisit it if I find a better match. While I had the paint can going I painted the wheel centres too....meh....wife likes it though.

 

Last time I changed the oil...I only had a paper filter. After 3,000 miles I changed just the filter today. Clean job!
