After washing, waxing and detailing the car, I failed miserably at trying to put on a mesh screen behind the front grill to block any foreign objects from striking the condenser/radiator. I removed the top 4 black push pins only to discover that doing so does not remove an access cover on the GD, but rather it merely is the top of the entire integrated bumper cover. As such, removing those 4 push pins only allows a person to slightly pull up the edge and drop in a screen in front of the grill. I figure that my car doesn't go out on the highway and will be driven very few miles over the next couple of years. While I can see "impact craters" on the aluminum fins, at nearly 7 years of age and 98,000 miles, if the car hasn't had a catastrophic impact yet, the odds remain low of one ever happening.

I'll do that and thank. Duct tape fixed the bumper but the bush kept the lip. I'll be sure to search for it when track goes cold.

Put an oil/ trans cooler in front of the condenser, works great. A cooler is quiet a bit tuffer than our condensers. Measure the opening and Google it. I got mine off eBay from a track car.

Bought some stuff today:

Redline 5w20 motor oil
Mugen oil filter
Mugen titanium emblem x2 (I'm going to be putting these on my Mugen front grill and spoiler when I get them)


Honestly, I could just buy all the crap that I'm waiting for right now... I'm just holding out until they (King Motorsports and JHPUSA) have some kind of special around the holiday seasons...

Anyone else do that? haha
