Yesterday,
I go to a muffler shop to add another Dynomax Race Mini Bullet resonator to make my custom exhaust quieter... and now it's Perfect
This time the muffler shop is Mike Muffler in El Monte, and I think this one is the best one in term of customer service, price and quality of all 3 muffler shop that I had been so far.

Today,
I Change the O2 secondary sensor (because it's broken causing Check Engine Light) and
I also Change the AEM UEGO Air to Fuel Ratio Wideband Sensor (this one just to make sure there is no shift since hopefully I am going to use it for tuning soon).

Also done research on Oil Cooler and Fuel Return Line... but don't know when I can have this done yet...

Washed an waxed the fit. And put 2 coats of wax on the cf duckbill. Looks pretty good. Now I am debating painting it TW or not...

Repaired around 300 stone chips on my hood!

Incredible how cheap the paint is on that car!

But there is also a lot of road work on my daily commute, which doesn't help!

The paint is extremely thin. So thin my local detailer said he wouldn't polish it if it were scratched. This is after he put a thickness meter to the paint.
The angle of the hood is pretty vertical compared to other cars, so that doesn't help with rock chips. I wrapped my hood the factory colour to avoid rock chips.

Mike's muffler has always been good. Used to take my integra there for some work. I saw your car in Anaheim off Euclid one weekend. Very nice fit.

I can't agree more. I've never had such an issue with rock chips as I have with the fit. I hate to put one of those stupid air deflectors up front but I think it would really help. I'd like to get it repainted but I still have a year left of major road construction on my commute.



on an unrelated note.... opened the door today and I had never seen this happen before.

Thanks Reddog77,

That must be the Saturday when I take my son to our family dentist in Anaheim

I actually return to Mike's muffler today because somehow my exhaust tips got loose, they fixed it with very nice flared pipe inside the tips and strong weld now!

Hi Bensevil,
How come there is that "FIT" light effect/reflection on your door?

I believe it is made by JDP Engineering (JDP Engineering :: Products -- "Design & Innovation with Precision"). Expensive stuff, but looks great.

Yup that rear skirt is JDP and still debating if I want to get it. I think he quoted me $295 picked up.. Will cost more obviously if you want it shipped.

Changed my air filter after 3 years and 29k I totally failed to realize that I've had my 2013 that long already and normally wouldn't let an air filter go that long.

It honestly just takes patience. I have seen so many legit wheels come and go on Craigslist... Problem is I don't know if I wanna be dropping hella money on wheels lol. Getting a set of Weds for the price of a set of RPF-1s is crazy though.

Should not be a problem. Most air filters in normal conditions can go 30,000 miles. Unless you drive in congested traffic or extremely dusty conditions, a good filter can take it.
