I am back on my RPF1s since driving on 16"X7" Final Speed Erasers.... The lighter weight of the RPF1s make a huge improvement in acceleration, handling, steering, braking and ride comfort.... They also extend the service life of steering , braking, suspension and drive train components.... Light weight wheels are the best improvement there is for anything with an engine that you can ride or drive.

Welcome to the forum freeweel.... With 90K on your odometer you are sure to have more knowledge than those of us with lesser amount of time behind the wheel of our cars.

Ordered my ep3 badge for my steering wheel last night. Rolled driver side rear fender lip and cut some rear bumper lip off with dremel. Cut some front fender liner out. 2" from bumper to side skirt against fender. Cut tabs off front fender lip. Picking up wheels today. Same fender mods to passenger side tomorrow night. Tucking the hell out of 16s

polished up the headlight lenses. HIDs are still going strong. Sucha a huge improvemnet. I hit 82,000 on the odometer. Car runs like a clock. probably gonna get a new timing belt and check the cooling on the car when it warms up. In the meantime, I will be just getting LOFs (Lube, Oil, Filter) and rotate the tires. I keep forgetting to get a cabin air filter. Oh, and I found a killer deal on a mean, green machine (Bissel) at home depot. It scrubbed the helll out of the seats and got all the baby goo out of them! lol.

That's what im talking about, my son loves to throw things out of his car seat and make a mess of my back seats. I'll have to look into that

Hey kenmei, glad to hear that worked. Hoping my drag lug nuts come in today with my VHT wrinkle red paint. So I can do my intake cover tomorrow and maybe see if I can use Tim's jack again to swap out my lugs or use the scissor jack

one of these days we should go for a lunch cruise if our days off line up. maybe through the santa cruz mountains, I hear that's pretty fun

Not to worry about changing the timing belt.... We are fortunate that Honda built our engines with a self adjusting timing chain.

Just change the nuts one at a time with the car on the ground.. You don't need a jack.
