I don't have much to do as the car is always current on everything.

I do put weather tech rubber mats over my precious Lloyd mats. Ha Ha.

Paint seal the car, rain-ex all glass

My last oil change should carry me through most of winter

All handles and lock cylinders are lubed. This is important in these cars!

install snow brush

Default this winter i've got a nice list of fun projects....

I've got a new MOMO steering wheel and adapter in the mail along with some of the chrome bits I was missing. I've also got a 200.20v alternator bracket and 110amp alt on their way for my car... I've got a leaky turbo oil line that I've been meaning to replace, I'm going to do all my injector seals and such, and possibly a few injectors depending on their condition. Going over my whole fuel system, probably relaying my fuel pump, I want to get going on my trans cooler, and then all the usual stuff like lubing the hinges and lock cylinders...

Default Here goes.......

1. Fix front output shaft leak
2. Check front brakes and suspension because of very slight grinding when parking and braking to a stop.
3. Replace entire stereo system and speakers.
4. Get heated seats to work again.
5. New wheels and tires?

Default I just did............

a repeated pump out and refill (4 times) on my trany ATF. Also, filled up the diff with lube.

Yea, my baby could use a good bath and wax job before the snow flies. Hopefully, there will be a couple of nice days before the snow starts to fly in earnest here in Indiana.

Default My List

1) watch in laughter as the little who wheel drive hondas do one-wheel-peels while sliding down the 30 degree sloped hill at my school backwards. =P
2) come to complete stop on hill next to frustrated honda and then drive away. >:[
3) should be number one, but eh, not gonna kill me: replace blower motor.

but really, my prep list consists of draining and changing all diff/trans fluids, and getting new plug wires.
