Today, i tried to start my car... To no avail.

Shit it is cold out there... -11 f with a windchill making it feel like -35? No wonder it felt like my face was about to break off.

Anyway, the cranking is too slow and i'm draining my battery with all the attempts, so i hooked up my portable charger/jump start. Letting it charge while i thaw out.

Its so cold, everything is sticking... The clutch pedal is hard to push down and seems like the fluid is frozen, since it seems to stick when coming up.

Would cover my rock dimple square in the middle of my hood perfectly...

Thanks, I totally feel the same way about it. Very subtle yet functional mod and given how cheap it was I was glad I stumbled upon it

Just got back from Americas Tire with my TPMS issue.

They actually broke two of the sensors into pieces, one in front and one in back. I was wondering why my steering wheel got a little vibration.

Like literally pieces rolling around in the tire.

Both replaced for free, all is right with the world again. Hurrah.

Got my car a couple of weeks back. I've dropped in the Aries 3D floormats, swapped all interior lights out with LED from Collegehonda. Got the door visors and a 09 Accord horn from them as well just waiting on the weather to clear up. The BT35-HON bluetooth module is coming in on Friday so Saturday will be a fun day.

Already had the cargo mat, tint and the bumper applique so things are looking good. Going for the seat covers and body side moldings next.

I added some 5mm spacers tonight so I went ahead and added some new studs that measure just over 5mm longer for that extra piece of mind. They are OEM Honda of course.



And now I have a +37 offset in the rear. Almost want to see what another 5mm gets me but I need to be lower before attempt that.

Rick had them they were new and I got them for free. So no complaints LOL. They are not hub centric but my ring still centers my wheel so I should not encounter any vibration.

Hello PainterGuy,

Can you please tell me the part number for the STUDS that is OEM Honda and measure 5mm longer than our stock studs?

Thanks

Does 5mm make a noticeable difference? I'm thinking of getting spacers cause the rear wheels bug me, but 5mm sounds like too little to actually be noticed.. Maybe 1cm would work better.
