Got my car back from the mechanic yesterday thank god ... Dropped the car off on tuesday at 8:30am .. At 2pm he called up telling me he misplaced my keys and until he finds it, he can't work on it ... :furious: he ended up finding it but car stayed overnight as he didn't get to work on it the first day ..

Damn that sucks big time.

Replaced sparkplugs with NGK iridiums. He checked my driveshaft and cvj and all is okay, he just said that its rubbing hard against the gearbox seal ... But thats apart of lowlife yeah? Lol.
Also told me that i need a brake fluid and transmission flush.. May do these myself next year with genuine honda fluids.

Shoulda tried the spark plugs on your own. I attempted mine for the first time in the summer with those same plugs, real easy just gotta be careful no to strip or cross thread.
If you can change your oil you should try the trans fluid flush too. I gotta do mine in the next few days. I needed to pour some fluid in before and did it through the dipstick hole :eusa_doh: Found out there's a fill bolt on top that says ATF, only on v6's so we're lucky lol

Looks like some type of eye injury where the blood is pooling at the bottom.

Not really fond of the look, and would suggest go with the red-housing.

Just my $0.02, however.

@Chris, I assume you are happy with the work that was done?

Been getting some rain here in LA. My Michelin Stealth blades (beam-style appearance with traditional blades) had always been chattering on the driver side for the past 2 years. I tried bending the arm a bit, which made it a little better but it still bothered me.

So I went to O'reilly and got some Trico Exact Fit (traditional blades) for $20. I tested them in the parking lot and as I had expected, they still chatter. The dude told me to swap 'em for the Trico Force, which are comparable to Bosch Icons, for $10 more. We put them on and the chattering is not an issue anymore. :rock:

^Nice. Never heard of Trico. I've had a lot of wiper blades and Bosch Icons are definitely the best I've owned. Most start chattering after a year or so, these are going strong after around 2 years.

teaserrrrr!!

I am, actually got all four PC'd for $225 so pretty happy about that. And I love the color, though I will say it looks its best in the sunlight. It is a bit outside my comfort zone but all my wheels thus far have been "safe" colors, so I thought it was time for something else. :)
