Changed out my Mugen grill for the J's Racing and cleaned my headlights.

My JDM Modulo side skirts didn't fit though. The damn tabs didn't line up so I think I'm going to have to go to an auto body shop and have them help. DAMNIT!

Anyone have JDM side skirts or had to redrill to make side skirts fit?

Didn't get to make the video I wanted to due to weather.

Here's a quick clip I made earlier. Start up and idle, 2 quick revs to 2.5k and a quick 3k (2990 recover) launch control burst.

Satisfied with the fit on the J's grille?

I am 99.99% satisfied. It's not 100% perfect, but I kind of knew it wasn't going to be. At least it's enough for me to overlook it and feel content.

Now if I can only do something about these damn JDM side skirts...

JDM Modulo side skirts installed. Apparently some of the clips were in bad shape so the tech there had to modify them to get the skirts to stay on. The side skirts are a little loose, but secure enough so that they won't fall off.

Side profile. I think this looks MUCH better than the USDM version.

She's looking good. A drop and some wheels should probably be next on your list (hopefully)!

All that JDM. I want.

Looks good, agreed lowering is needed though.

I didn't do anything to the car today, just filmed how sketchy my driver's side front corner sounds. Someone, please halp.



I'm thinking bad endlink?

Almost sounds like a tie rod and control arm, does it happen when turning?

I am currently on Mugen Sport Suspension.

I don't think I'm going any lower than what that offers since I already scrap on most driveways. I also dislike the whole 'stance' look.

I DO have rims, but they just aren't on my car currently. I have some Mugen MF10L sitting in my room right now. I don't mount them for daily driving, just car shows and meets. There's a few car shows coming up that I'll be attending, so I'll post up pictures of my car there with the rims mounted on.

Good ol 5 panel wink mirror! I had that for years on my car before finally switching it out.

The view that you get is awesome, just be aware of the shaking later on with your mirror. You might want to put some rubber stoppers on the side or place a piece of cloth between your mirror and headliner to reduce the vibrations. Also, eventually due to the heat, the mirror is going to bend and warp. However, it's cheap enough so you can replace it fairly easily.

Went for a car wash at the local gas station. Get the salt off. Did not do a good job. Need to clean my car by hand inside and out and get winter gone.

Did an oil change. Used my Mobil 1 synthetic
I think next time I am just going to use Mobil 1 regular oil.

Also did a spark plug check. Looks like I could switch them in April/May. I'm debating about which plugs to use. I want the longest life like the OEM Honda ones. Not sure if I wanna pay the price for them this time. Anyone has suggestions of where to get OEM plugs for cheap or something similar to the longitivity of the OEM plugs?

Tail light restore

Restored my tail lights! The previous owner did the worst job trying to paint/tint them!

I used some carb cleaner, some Magic Erasers, some polish, and some elbow grease! Needless to say, they look much better.
