So far, so good. Steering wheel is straight, doesn't wander...think she's okay.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Planning on sticking with steelies for now, got a couple replacements from the local pick n pull for cheap. I have some plans for the steelies..

Checked, but no go. I would have to submit the claim and prove they were aware of the pothole before the damage occurred. If not, they can just deny knowledge of the pothole, reject my claim, and then repair the hole. Which, it was filled in within 48hrs of me hitting it. I think I just have to shrug this incident and watch out for "puddle" potholes...lol.


On a seperate note...while checking around for anything damaged or out of the ordinary, I found a good amount of oil on the bottom and followed it up the front of the motor to the filter. Appears my oil filter cap is leaking...gotta change the oil this weekend, fix that, and clean up my mini Exxon Valdez in my engine bay. Hopefully I don't have anymore additional issues and can get back to modding!

Went to dealer had opil changed tires rotated etc. I would change my own oil but it is kind of hard when you have to choose between a street on a grade or jack it up on grass. I also added a second shelf/spare tire cover to creat a small trunck for security. Now I can stuff my camera bag back there without it being seen. I got it from a local junk yard for $55 this seemed like a good price from what I had been seeing. Trip tomorrow weather premitting.

Antenna

I installed a short antenna today. Now my ride does not look like a radio controlled toy any longer.

Haha, I like the RC car antenna...lol! But that's just me...


Bought a lightweight aluminum jack and all new oil change goodies. Glad it's starting to warm up so I can start working on the car again!

I changed out my remote mirror switch.Mirrors work right now.Door Panel removal was not too bad, but having the right tools really helps and assists in not breaking anything.

Well ill post for yesterday i usually post at work (security) so after i got off i went and washed the 2 months worth of road salt off and installed my Stage 2 Jet Power Control Module and drove to Lancaster to test it out. Good 40 mile trip one way. visited Menards and drove back. Most fun ive had driving yet! Another civic bites the dust but harder this time mwahaha. Such a good kill... Kid had every exterior body mod i can think of full kit CF hood, 18's, big rediculous spoiler, and headlights/ tail lights, and fender flares? so a couple grand outside but nooothing under the hood except maybe a CAI. Needless to say he probably still picking up pieces of his ego because his GF was laughin as i pulled away from him! Now today im getting off work and installing my 4 new XPLOD 540w 6 1/2's
