ACROPIX Windshield Washer Fluid Reservoir Bottle Tank Cap Fit for Toyota RAV4 for Infiniti G37 - Pack of 1 Black
Not too bad! Took me about 2.5 hrs, including half an hour of tinkering with different settings for the gate / throw and 15 minutes of trying to fix a panel gap for the center console that exists by design ?
Did you use a scanner for the rear brakes to put them in maintenance mode?I forgot, last week I had the brakes done.
I went to Acura for the recall a few weeks back and they did an inspection at that time I had about 40% of brake life left, so I figured before they wear down far enough to mark up the rotors, I would get some new pads.
I ordered Akebono's front and back, ceramic pads, they weren't very expensive but are supposed to be good, long lasting, and not very dusty compared to the OEM.
Below you can see how much brake life I had left after 7700 miles.
I could have waited another 1000 miles, I think.
A little premature and wasteful, but peace of mind is a good thing.
Haven’t installed mine yet but, I took out the console this morning and spent entirely too much time trying to unplug the 12v socket. Ended up leaving it hanging to the side as well ?
I noticed my 3-2 was gritty/grindy (not audible; just in the shifter feel) on my ASpec but got better when I first tried sport mode for the first time since purchase and makes that shift when driving more spiritedly. Still slower than I’d like to avoid and clunkiness but much better than normal mode.I did the acuity shifter linkage bushings today and decided to wrap the cast aluminum charge pipe in gold because aluminum conducts heat well and this pipe is a few cm from the block. Linkage bushing made a marginal difference. Getting into R and 1st there's a bit less resistance, but so far I can't tell too much more. I was hoping these would resolve the 3-2 clunkiness and grind, but we'll see on track. Fwiw, I have never had a grind or issue going from 1 to 2, but I also shift out of first around 8-10mph. 1st is literally for getting moving anyway, so after 5mph it's unnecessary. 3-2 is my main issue since the car just hates dropping into second quickly. It makes setup for hairpin corners with decreasing radius quite tricky. Lots of those coming up at hallet so I'm looking forward to seeing if this helps.
I did run the Cobb 93 tune this weekend. Car was fast and no issues on track. Engine was rock solid, temps were rock solid (even in a very humid 87F day), but the shifter linkage solved nothing about the 3-2 grind. Still coming up to hairpins you have to be patient about slamming it into second and then slipping the clutch. Out of 45 or so laps yesterday and two 2nd gear hairpins (one is a right uphill called "the bitch" that puts a lot of stress on diffs and gears) I did two small grinds.
