Yeah they did. It's not 100% but then the car is a daily for 4.5 years now and there is a bit of fade inevitably

Nothing a little polishing can't fix.

Planning to clear bra the bumper?

Wash and visited a friend who finally decided to rebuild his engine after letting it sit for a couple years.

Fixed the clutch pedal squeak thanks to @Ultramaroon post

It was extra squeaky this morning after rainfall and had somebody look at me when I grabbed the clutch in a parking lot

I probably should... I probably won't lol. How much does it cost anyway? And is it effective in snow and salt?

It's effective in the winter as well. Mine is pretty beaten up after 82000km. I want to replace mine after 3 1/2 years. I'll be curious how the bumper looks under the film.

New Exedy stage 1 clutch with new TOB and Verus fork and pivot. Borla UEL header to match my existing Borla axelback. Beck free-flow catted front pipe. OFT stage 2 tune with E85. I had been running E85 before, so didn't expect much gain from the header and pipe. BIG surprise. Significant gain. Car takes off like a jackrabbit that sat in a puddle of kerosene. I was concerned about noise from the Beck and almost left it out, but it's not bad at all. A little drone on deceleration, but acceptable. The tune was ragged for first 10 miles or so, with idle wandering from 1200 to 500. Then it settled down to a steady 800 and power curve is linear and smooth.
It's a different car now.

Almost done with the break in, then I can really drive the pants off this thing! Or something, not sure :P

What's that in pre-revolt British colonial units?

Like 12 or something, right?

TOB failed in a glorious eruption of screeching and odor. It had been complaining for a while and I've put it off. I was about to buy the EXEDY clutch kit with a Verus clutch fork and do it myself but I never had a free weekend to get my buddy over to help me. Took it to the dealership (it barely made it) for a new TOB, clutch, flywheel, etc. $2395 plus tax.

Lesson to learn: don't put off until tomorrow what your wallet will feel today.

Changed the oil yesterday. Checked the receipts and the last one was a year ago.
Only put on 7100 miles for the year. Headed for the coast next week though and wanted to get it out of the way.

Even with the Fumoto, hydraulic lift and stands, the weather had me sweating like a sweaty thing.

Both motos started right up when I shuffled them out of the garage. woot

I think the lesson should be too not take it to a dealership
