Cranking CCA is 540. Car cranked strong on the first try and run really smooth. Now voltage of battery is almost 14v.

My Odyssey is dead and I'm looking for a replacement.

Where did you get the Shorai and how much was it?

I've got the same speakers. With proper EQ'ing boosting mainly the midrange, they sound orgasmic. Great choice!

Breaks off right away when attempt to pull if off smoothly. I'm only able to take it off with a razor but obviously I can't do that where the heater lines are.
Side windows came off fine as they weren't nearly as sun damaged as the rear window.
I tried spraying degreaser we have a work and it helps the tint come off clean with a razor but cant peel it all off because of how brittle it is.
Any tips of how I can take it off?

I had the same problem not long ago and surprisingly enough the best thing to get it out is gasoline, funnel some 87 octane into a spray bottle and use an old t-shirt or cloth and it should wipe right out.

Acetone also works. If you have nail polish remover around, that has acetone in it and should work as well. I used my girlfriend's nailpolish remover on my car and then it smelled like sunshine afterwards. :tears:

^Both your cars look so mint, I wish I could open my garage door and choose between driving an STI or a Type R :sweetjesus:

freelunch 11-06-2012 11:29 PM

Thanks guys, I'm really living my own automotive dream right now lol

The Type-R is parked for the winter, but its such fun and engaging car I think I enjoy driving it more than my STI. Since its not my DD, I can take my time installing mods and cleaning her up.

I`ve since put a Red H on the back

Got my car back after having it repaired at FasTrack Autobody.

The guy who hit my car paid for the repairs to settle privately, and FasTrack did an amazing job on my car. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a good bodyshop. :)
