I had safelite fix the leak on replaced (second replacement) windshield.

They accidentally put PGW glass, instead of OEM glass, so now I get to go to them again next week and have them put OEM glass in.

Gustave's FIFTH WINDSHIELD, he only ever needed one replaced, but due to the negligence of safelite EVERY SINGLE TIME, he's got #4 in him.

picked up my ings+1 spoiler. The bolting holes do not match up, so still thinking of a way to install them. I do not want to drill the hatch.

Did Lyon's adjustable wing mod, reinstalled the plastic trim inside the hatch, and reattached my upside-down Domo, since I knocked him down last week.

Not 100% in love with the wing mod, (because of the gap), but I think it looks decent, and will suffice until I replace it altogether.

I tried to get some base model mirror caps yesterday, bt my dealership's part dept was already closed. I'm hoping to get a set and see if they match this week. I've grown to prefer the base's stealthier mirrors.




Better pics of my wiper delete.

Umehara-San and a couple other J's Racing staff were over at Super Autobacs Kawasaki and on a whim went and had my ECU reflashed, was hoping for Hondata to come through with a FlashPro, but it just may not happen in the near future. Told them to flash it with the program that includes the front pipe as I'm expecting the front pipe to arrive within the next 2 weeks. Definitely can tell it has a bit more of torque down low, but I haven't flogged it yet because of not having the front pipe in place. Umehara-San warned having the secondary cat in place with this program may cause some small problems, so I'm rev limiting myself to just under 5000rpms.

The throtte map has been altered with the reflash and they suggest to not use a throttle controller, I have it disconnected by power, but may just see if any issue running it in conjunction with it. They couldn't give me a reason not to use it, just suggest not to since the throttle map has been altered in the ECU. If it ends up not being used, may put it up for sale.

Also requires the use of hi-oc fuel (100RON) and they recommend Index 8 plugs, currently using the Denso IK22, but may just jump up to the IK24 racing plugs like I was using in the old 5R, just not sure how well they will take to the winter temps. Doesn't really get below about -5C (23F) here, so not sure if I really want to step to another colder index plug as winter will be rolling in. Maybe come spring time I will change them out.

Got a trade-in value quote.

It was 9k for my 2009 base with 37568 miles on it. They really don't want manual cars.

I've been itching for a change, so I picked up a set of unpainted, base model, mirror caps from the dealer today, and installed them in the rain. They're no low-profile CF replacements, but I think they look tough, compared to the painted ones, which I think looked goofy in TW. Would look better with tint and visors, but one step at a time.

I'm thinking about selling my TW caps, so if anyone in a TW base wants to upgrade, shoot me a PM.
