Had to get my front passenger side Toyo Proxes tire replaced (under warranty - phew) at Town Fair because I had a big nail in it from last week and the hole couldn't be patched because of how close it was to the sidewall.  Now I have 1 brand new tire and 3 used ones, ::sigh::.

Z, I want your input on how you did the Seafoam in your car.  I'm still iffy on doing it to mine.

Better than dino oil. For the k's at least. Not so much for the j's.
Mobil 1 5w30 shears to a 20 weight, according to UOAs on BITOG.  (unless they changed their formula recently)  Mobil 1 Extended Performance is a better choice if you wanted to stay with Mobil 1.

Don't seafoam your car.  It's bad for it.

Use redline 5w20. The 20 weight is more like 30.

Really? I've used M1 on all my cars for the longest time. Thing is, I also change it at Honda's recommended interval so I don't leave it in there as long as others do.

That depends on how you do it. Since I did mine (first time it's ever been done on my car and it has 84k), I've had a smoother idle and acceleration. I expect to get better mileage out of her as well since I'm doing mostly city driving now.

Dave, if you still want me to tell you how I did it, shoot me a PM.

did my rear camber kit and made a video. Finally!! Its been sitting on my table for 2 months now.

Also tried to do my brakeline and flush. I didn't have the special wrench for it so not going to risk stripping it. Guess the lines will have to wait another week or so.

Also I need someone to help me with clutch bleeding. I have am going to use my friend pump thingy to keep pressure while I bleed it, but where is the bleeder screw on the v6 6mt. And how do I know I am doing it right?

Stripped all the paint off my IM and wire wheeled what the paint stripper didn't get. Looks like new.

Rebled all my brakes, and while doing this I noticed the shims on the front outer pads were working their way off. So, I had to take the GS calipers off and put the shims back in place. I hope they don't move their way back out. I also washed my car.

Shims have a tendency to move and come off.  I don't use shims for that reason.

Polished the headlights and took apart the dash to move around some wires.

Started making a HID wire harness for my fogs and had to stop because of rain.  Looks like I'll be going in early to work in the morning
