I thought that too but thought maybe it was just the lighting.

It looks like it’s in the same location as the Civic Type R which behaves in the way you just described. But I think air goes into the NACA duct to blow hot air out through the transmission tunnel area.

Did a wash, including inside the trunk lid area and under the fuel lid. Also did a plast-x job on my headlights to get rid of the yellow. At 8.25 years and 182k miles and have hardly had any issues. I really hope my next car treats me this well.

Why not? I drive my car with ducted hood in the rain. Mine just having a center duct actually puts a crazy swirl pattern of the rain on the windshield. It is usually parked outside too.

Finally completed part 1 of my brake change. Started Last Thursday!
Nothing fancy, just normal brakes for a 2013. Bought the parts Wednesday, started on Thursday after work by pulling the rears... Well attempting to; they were stuck. Turns out I was sold the wrong rear rotors anyway (non-vented). Put everything back on, looked up the threads for the 2 bolt holes to push the rotors off. Went to the store to exchange the rear rotors and bought the required bolts. Well, the right rears weren't in stock so they had to order them for me to pick up yesterday. Went home and proceeded to pull apart the fronts (this is still Thursday). Fronts were also stuck on but now I had the bolts. Got the left front off, pulled out the new rotor, "hey, these don't quite look the same size." Sure enough, the new ones were ~3/8" smaller in diameter (see attached photo with inside pad and rotor. No you shouldn't be able to see the pad at all). Re-assemble old brakes. Pack up tools. No time to get back to the store before they close. Messed up plans for the weekend. Fast forward to yesterday. Get home from work, go return front rotors and pick up new for all 4 corners (store wouldn't do anything to compensate me on what an ordeal they had added to this job, "rotors were already on sale"). Start with fronts again. Rotors are stuck again/still but deal with it using the bolts. Everything is going ok but then I can't get the caliper over the lower pin on the drivers side. Push as hard as I can on the pin and nothing. Pull it out, wipe off the grease and re-insert to see if there's just an air pocket trapped by excess grease. Still no luck. Feels like it's bottoming out. try putting a C clamp on it, tapping with a hammer, no luck. Remove it to find lots of grease on the tip this time. Wipe off and reinsert. Seems to be going a bit farther but not enough. Press with fingers and remove, barely any grease on tip. Tap with hammer and remove; big glob. Repeat tapping of hammer and wiping of grease until pin sits well within the area it needs to. Remove 1 last time to re-grease the sides. I'm now working by flashlight but I finally manage to get everything re-assembled. Now I have to find time to do the rears... Then I get to do my girlfriends car. |
