So today...
Threw some fresh MT90 on the tranny. Old fluid was pretty dirty, which is odd because it probably only had about 10,000 miles on it. All gears feel very nice.
Decided to not caulk the window since it isn't leaking AND I just happened to walk by a car in a parking lot the other day that had it done and it looked like absolute shit. I don't trust myself to make it pretty so fuggit.
Have had an idle fluctuation when the motor is cold ever since I bought the car. the valves are not cheap so when I saw an aftermarket intake manifold with one already attached for sale on the cheap, I bought it. I was going to put the manifold on the car, but Honda-Challenge chose one specific brand (Blox) as legal so I might as well just get one of those. Funny, the Blox is actually a copy of the Skunk2 I had so I'll sell this thing for $150 and buy a Blox new for $150... Whatever. Not really cold out today so I couldn't tell you if it worked, but the butt dyno said idle was nicer.
Washed windows for the first time in years, and replaced a coupl;e ugly looking vacuum hoses.
Tomorrow night will be spent examining the sticky caliper and hopefully replacing my wires, plugs, and cap/rotor (if they come).
Oh yeah, also put a new hood emblem on. The car didn't come with one... I'm not sure if I like it or not, but that could just be because I'm used to not seeing one there.
