Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What did you do to your Car today?

I don't understand why it is so hard? Just unbolt the dog bones and ratchet strap the engine forward to give you more room. Lean in from the fender and done......10 minutes.
 


Thinking about buying a ZZP PCM, it' used so I can't update the VIN. It's off of a 2000 GTP just like mine, you guys think it'll work?
 
Last weekend I did a tranny service, oil change and new fuel filter.

Last night I did the left front wheel bearing, and swapped the front rotors.

New MFS is on the way.
 


Haha! It still drives!! Like I said. VTEC YO!!!

I saw that happen to a guy on the freeway in some beater car doing 75 mph. That was a few months before I got a dash cam unfortunately. Again luckily he (and you) weren't in an accident, can't see lol. The guy just pulled over to the left shoulder somewhat frantically, couldn't see how much damage he had.

Sorry man, I just saw this post. Best advice is to take your time and don't rush. Trust your touch and eyes. It was a LOT of sanding, but at the end it was worth it. I sanded off the texture with 100 grit, then worked my way up to 400 grit (wet-sanding). Touch EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE to make sure it all feels smooth and uniform. Then make sure it is all clean (dish soap) and dry, and paint the color on (I went 3 coats. One thing I learned was that if you paint metallic paint on, do NOT wet-sand\sand before you put clean coat on. I sprayed about 3 coats of clear on, then wet sanded with 1000 grit, 2 or 3 more coats of clear, wet-sand with 2000 grit, polish, and wax. I waited a ful 24 hours in between spraying the clear and wet-sanding, but you might even want to wait longer than that.

Oh, and soak the spray paint can in hot water for 10 minutes before spraying (do NOT get the nozzle wet). The hot water raises the temperature in the can which raises the pressure when creates a finer mist, which means a better, cleaner, more even coat.
