Picked my car up from the body shop. Super happy with my colour choice after seeing it in person.

Valve adjustment on the Prelude ended up being a waste of time as they were all within spec, got to visually check the timing belt in the process at least. I lost a valve over washer though so now I have to hunt one down.

Looking at the cracks at the base of the tread I think I'd scrap it.

Ya, he really seemed to dig it. I'm so glad that it didn't rub on that dip though, I cringed inside when we I saw it coming!

Now the boring and dreaded maintenance work.

Help my cousin tune up his car and bleed the brakes
http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/...517_171026.jpg

Since i got a helper around mine aswell bleed the brakes on my rsx.
But first rear brakes needs replacing
http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/...517_181235.jpg

Turns out its long overdue! Looks like a used engine oil :heckno:
http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/...517_192019.jpg

Then one of the bleeder valves is rusted out and need replacing luckily honda made it interchangable :fullofwin: Used the one from my BB1 brakes
http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/...517_191537.jpg
Thanks honda!

Thats more like it
http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/...517_193513.jpg

I hate doing this stuff but its essential so its best to suck it up i guess.lol

dared3vil0 05-19-2015 08:14 PM

Fucking hell, flushed the brake fluid in preparation of track day on May 31st, this is what came out... Was last flushed about 7 months ago...

What did you do to your vehicle today?
 
brakes and spark plugs.
clutch last week.

jackp0t 05-22-2015 12:22 AM

Went to the tire shop to get one of the rear tire replace with a brand new tire that came with the car. Score!
I notice the shop weren't busy so i ask if i can do the job myself and still pay to shake of the rust since haven't done it in awhile.lol
http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/...521_145640.jpg

Although the tire still had 20-30% left it was a good decision since the inside has a crack!


And i always thought its not good to patch a run flat tire maybe thats why it cracked :considered:


Added wheel spacers 15mm front 10mm rear
http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/...521_161005.jpg

And BMS oil catch can
http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/...521_155303.jpg

Plastic pile
http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/...521_193720.jpg

Plastic cover has to be modified
http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/...521_185733.jpg

http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/...521_193936.jpg

Catch can is stealthy!
http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/...521_194755.jpg

BRB of to the insurance place! :nyan:

underscore 05-22-2015 08:02 AM

With the catch can so buried how do you check it/empty it?

Vulgate 05-22-2015 08:19 AM

Jackp0t has a N54, but it should be similar to a N55. I have the same brand CC as he has and I can say the catch can for the N55 is accessible and removable, albeit, tight. Plus it does not get full, so draining it once a year is more than enough.

Yup the same catch can but mounted on a different spot

My Initial thought was im gonna have to keep removing the cowl to drain/check it which is a pain.lol


But after installation
http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/...522_094153.jpg
http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/...522_094811.jpg

I was able to pull it from underneath!
Its a tight fit and the aftermarket intake played a big key.
Once i do the BOV mod the hose beside the catch can will be gone and it will be a breeze then :toot:

fliptuner 05-22-2015 09:45 AM

You can patch a rft provided it's in otherwise good condition

jackp0t 05-22-2015 11:08 AM

Good to know since the tire is about 400-500 each!

smoothie. 05-22-2015 11:48 AM

yep - patched the mini tire once, can be done like a normal tire as long as its not in the sidewall.

lowda9 05-22-2015 03:14 PM

Fuel pump died on me on queensborough bridge last night but luckily i was able to coast onto the next exit. Did walbro fuel pump this morning.
