What did you do to your Gen7 today?

[Rich01]

Received my TL-s steering rack and misc parts today. Hope this weekend goes well. Can't wait to get this on so my car can start feeling well again.

Today: First wax of the season. God I needed it.

Performed a valve lash adjustment (last night actually). It wasn't too bad after having watched a few videos and read a few guides. But what they don't tell you, is that reaching the exhaust valves is very awkward. Enough so that my lower back and hamstrings are sore today. Also, for the exhaust valves, if you have the 3-point STB it's easier to use a 10mm wrench and screwdriver combo than to use a jam-nut tool. Or you could just remove STB, but I wasn't up for all that.

Found some scuffing of varying degrees on several cam lobes will post in another thread...

Replaced by interior door window switch panels with some fresh new ones as well as my cubby door, compartment below that with the lighter and the shifter bezel that I got hydro graphed to match the pillars/visors and headliner I got wrapped in suede. Also had to replace the mirror switch on the master switch panel due to it being broken.

...more to come so stay tuned

Started the TL-S steering rack conversion yesterday afternoon and finished it up today. She's nice and tight again. It got late so tomorrow i'll put on the my summer wheels and schedule an appointment for alignment. Looks like I may be keeping the natural camber in the rear, may even need to roll the fenders a little. We'll see.

I ordered some AP2 exhaust tips as the shitty ones I've had on for the last four years rusted through. Should be here by Wednesday.

8th Gen Accord tips are the same as AP2, I believe.

Finished up the brakes and wheel bearings on the Civic yesterday.  Still waiting on parts for the Accord.  As soon as I get my radiator and fan shrouds back, I will be able to locate the blower and start mocking up the plenum for the intake manifold.

The AP2's are slightly larger/ wider than the 8th gen ones. Not by much though.

Rushed home, installed 3 wheels, rushed to gas station, put air in tire, ran back home, mounted 4th wheel just in time for the rain. Went to get some gas and who pulled up, fellow modded 7th gen owner so of course we started talking the wheels and wat not.

Today I took my rear bumper off because I've never done it, and I wanted to see what I'd be up against when I finally install the 06 rear. Found the bolts keeping the tail light brackets in all rusted. Yay.

Received my new to me ap2 exhaust tips. Throwing them on tomorrow night in shop.

I put the Buddy Club wheels back on in order to take some pictures tomorrow.

So i got my alignment done today and everything is in spec minus the usual rear camber. The tech told me that it's still pulling to the right. We went over everything that got done on the front end and the only thing we could come up with was that there's something wrong with the tires. they're used and the right has more tread wear on the outside as if the previous owner had some front end issue.. He mentioned that tho rear, he has seen a bad tire causing a car to pull to one side. I'm incline to agree because after the rack was installed the alignment was the same as pre rack install, pulled a little to the left. It started pulling to the right after i installed the new wheels.

Installed my ap2 tips with a couple tack welds to prevent theft. I also cut my bumper some to accommodate for the larger tips.
