Something weird happened while I was driving today. I was at a stoplight where it merges into one lane from two right after. I'm next to an suv and I don't want to get stuck behind it so I give it about 1/2 throttle. The suv suddenly decides they don't want to get left behind so they floor it. I then give it a little more gas and easily pull way ahead of them. Then they get mad so they start honking and flashing their lights at me. I didn't know what to think.

I'd be thinking what an A-hole they were.

I would have tapped the brakes and then chambered a round.

i was on a THREE lane road so the guy behind me couldve switched lanes easily! i was already going 70 and i felt that was a good enough speed for me...instead this a-hole behind me started highbeaming me, tapped his horn a few times, like really?! i then went into the middle lane so he could pass me and i was still going 70, he floored it !!! like wow...theres 3 lanes buddy u couldve passed me!

Its not serious at all. I think it just needs a new exhaust put on from the manifold back.

All 4 wheels arrived today. No damage and they look great. These wheels are going to fundamentally change this car. No more polished aluminum anymore. Especially when the hood pins go bye-bye someday.


And Discount Tire called and said the rear tires were in, but the fronts hadn't arrived yet.
Dear god, gorgeous!

Heat shield, it's the piece of metal over your header. It's not neccessary, nothing to worry about. Just take it off

The heat shield was only there to prevent anybody from getting burned

2010 wheels on my car, kinda like it!



yeahhh...they needed to be done


super dirty, havent quite 100% figured out which springs





all finished








they needed to be done, badly. so bad in fact, that the rear pistons, which are the screw in/out type had actually extended so far that they came out of their socket. We also had to file a bit of the paint off the ends of the brakes where it looks like they dipped them in, so they'd fit properly.

As a final note, those idiots put different sized lugnuts on the car when they replaced the ones with the locks...so each tire has 4 lugnuts of one size, and 1 of a smaller size, so add lugnuts to my list of things to replace. I wonder how black chrome ones would look with my wheels?



as for the detailing, I ran into something I've never seen before. On the rocker panels and the trunk lid, the clay didnt want to slide across, no matter how much detailer I sprayed on there. And when we put wax on the trunklid, the wax didnt wanna wipe off in patches. I dont get it?
Looking good!

Those wheels will look great on Seven.

If the heat shield is cracked, it's not too expensive. Contrary to common belief, it's there to help keep the radiator cooling fans from frying due to the exhaust heat, not for preventing someone to burn, since if you touch it while hot it WILL burn like hell. From the other symptoms you've described, it looks like your exhaust system is like a Swiss cheese right now due to corrosion. That racketing and burbling sound indicates exhaust gasses leaking through somewhere in the exhaust system, either on the downpipe or the muffler itself. Take it to a muffler shop and save some good money. The "stealer" will rape you out of your $$, especially because it's an Honda.

thanks guys for the advice...im hoping its something easy like the exhaust only...the squeaking sound was also coming from the engine...BF told me that it could be the belt...idk

i need to get my car to pass inspection this month, otherwise i wouldnt be as worried sick...

instead of taking the car for repairs on saturday were taking it for like a multipoint inspection...basically to check the whole car, no repairs, and whatever is wrong with it, itll get taken to a shop to get repaired... i do agree, Honda would just want my money...

Hey Nathan or Gary or anyone...
Since you've been making/editing vids I have a question. Can you change the view 90 degs like a still shot?
I turned the camera so a singer would fill my camera screen vertically. Now downloading it to my software it says I can't rotate... so I'm watching it sideways LOL That sucks! Looks like I screwed up and won't do that anymore.
Do you know how I can change it back? Or do I have to go frame at a time and rotate 90 degs? (ugh! take forever and a day...)
