wish I had thought of that

 

It actually protects really well when loading/unloading. Just make sure you don't put wax on it while waxing your car. Nasty white residue wont come off.

 

Oh I know. My whole hood is CF wrapped

 

Installed the PSS kit and Enkei's last night after work, did the progress rear bar this morning.

Before....



After...

 

Swapped out the Air filter and Cabin Air Filter for new. Found a few Acorns and other things in my air filter housing.

Multiple bonuses:
Also a Snap-on interior Panel Remover Dropped out of the engine Bay while working on swapping the filter. Looks like the last time it was in for service (replacing the cowl) they left it on the flat part of the bumper beneath the hood and it was trapped there. it didn't hurt anything so no harm/no foul. now to figure out what I need to remove before my next service at the dealer....

Also, Amazon sent me 1 case of cabin Air filters (5) instead of 1 filter... Have to e-mail and see if they want to pay to ship them back or just say forget it and keep them. Hoping for the latter.


VERY NICE RainDog

who are you liking the ride? any rubbing?

Im thinking of buying the same setup Bilstein+Enkei PF01

 

YOu have Axis tails. you're not cheap

 

It's certainly not as plush as stock but body roll seems to have been mostly eliminated and it handles mid corner bumps and dips far better. Considering the wheelbase I'm happy with it for a daily driver, it seems firm and well damped but not overly abrupt.

I am getting a bit of rub from the left front in sharp right hand curves at speed and fast dips but it's very faint. I'll likely raise that corner about a quarter of an inch tomorrow and see if it goes away.

The wheel and tire combo, PF01's and 205/45r17 General AS-03's weighed in at 33.5lbs, the stock sports and dunlops were 34lbs even.

 

Looks nice Raindog. Those tires are pretty light at just 18lbs for a 17" tire. Same tire in 16" weighs 19lbs, according to Tire Racks specs. Doesn't make much sense really.

 

Wow. That looks stunning.

 

Agreed. Good choice on the suspension too. Probably can't go wrong with those Bilsteins. Hardly ever heard someone really complain about PSSs on any car unless the pss9 variety is available. Take what we can get, right?

 

But axis tails were cheap? No? Lol.

 

Holy Fit! Nice work.

 

I just put on the new "preowned" 15lbs forged rims! these are gonna be my beaters until i find a nicer set.

 

Is that the lowest setting?
Not that I'm trying to go moar low or anything, just gauging the hi/lo differences on the Bilsteins. I know the adjustment range is 20mm - 50mm.

Been leaning towards the Bilsteins, for a little while now. Your setup is great!

 

Thanks,

There are still a few threads left at the front but that's just about as low as it will go on the Bilsteins.

 

Installed some misc stuff I had around yesterday in preparation for the ECHM next weekend:

• Leather shifter (OEM)
• Leather Center Console/Armrest (OEM)
• Accord Horn conversion

hopefully going to get my foglight film installed this week, and shoudl eb good to go

Not very exciting...but I got my rear trunk mat in from College Hills Honda. "Installed" that.

 

Went racing all weekend. Fun times.

Got a PAX position of 15 out of 56 in autoX, and had a blast on the roadcourse. Didn't want to drag, but watching the drifters was fun as always.

Can't wait for next year!

 

Got my oil changed. They recommended changing the cabin and engine air filters for $130, I ordered them on Amazon while I waited and saved $100.
