*pulls door panel, finds rotted speaker surround, orders, repairs, re-installs* OMG I should have done this sooner! Gotta do the other side! *pulls door panel* Oh... oh no...
This window has been inop for as long as I've had the car. Been putting off pulling the door panel cos I knew it'd be a can of worms >.> Thanks to @caniselastis.bsky.social for the regulator sourcing advice!
Moody mountain forest, happy german v8 noises, corners you have to sight left of the "A" pillar <3
Marine layer be doin a thing, bet the roads are damp and moody af. Think I need to be over yonder
Yesterday was a wonderful day for a hike with @tavfox.bsky.social out at Rancho San Antonio, finally closing the PG&E trail loop \o/
I can see it, front rear sidewalls don't look balanced anymore.. dunno how I feel about it (thanks @folf.bsky.social for mounting them up!)
Got my money's worth outa this set, tho didn't expect 5% to be that significant (The new Sport2 iteration doesn't have a 255/45/18, so 255/40/18).
Yaay I touched the rower (I should do this more often >.>). Near enough three miles.
Decent night at the gym. Touched an 11d and a 12a. Got a few moves in and floundered, but touched 'em
Seems the passenger side roll stop was doubling as a transmission mount. Motor isn't level after swapping it out. (green and orange lines converge) Thinkin I'ma find a fair amount of this "Fuckit, its a Race Car" stuff as ai go through it
Swapped out the roll stop mounts on the Honda, removing Because Race Car bits to improve NVH. Feels good to be turning wrenches on it again even if all the fasteners feel not great. Found a couple block bosses that need to be helicoiled >.>
Part ordered before heading out for a camping trip. Part on porch when I got home. Success!
