What did you do to your Type R today?

[Shifty67]

no, the side markers. But I am waiting for my front PPF and ceramic coat appt. Seems like everyone I've called is backed up for at least a month.

Nice. I changed my markers too. Did you go with the sequential turn signals?

Plus a screw. How many miles were on the tire when this happened?

I bought the car with 14000km and there's around 16500km on it now. I am assuming they are the original rubber. Now that I've had time to process the chain of events I'm starting to wonder if I've actually been driving on a flat tire from the screw for some time now and just didn't noticed. In like 20+ years of driving I've never had a blowout like this.

The sucky thing about Canadian model is that there is no tire monitor that come with the car, we driving around town with lots of pot hole on a piece of rubber band, end up bought an after market tire monitor on Amazon for a peace of mind

na went with just standard lense replacement.

Had to have been the tire lost pressure due to the screw, which allowed the wheel to rest on, and cut, the tire.

actually, the tire disintegrates due to the heat from driving on the sidewall of the tire, not the pressure from the lip of the rim on the tire. just fyi.

That grill is giving me late 90’s early 00’s vibes.

Happy Father’s Day (if applicable)

Sponge Bath just now (using OPT No Rinse) in garage in case the last of 4 weekend car events (moved to Sun eve) doesn’t cancel due to weather associated with (gone inland) TS Claudette. Isn’t it odd how to make a male name female you just grow a pair of tt’s (official poetic license to drop e on file)?

installed the radium expansion tank and the rampage inlet. Someone offered me a good price to buy my prl inlet off of me so i took the plunge to get the rampage.

thanks to @kefi for the rampage inlet and referring to a guy who wanted to buy a prl inlet.

now just either need to get the eventuri or get the new evap flange for the prl.

Of course, one was edited but there was a disclaimer. Point was, it’s already clean but bored today and nothing red for install.

Also figured if someone posted cleaned their steering wheel (with 9 great photos), I could pull off a half-assed wash of an already pretty clean car for show prep.

Somebody do something interesting please.
