30k mile maintenance - tranny flush - radiator flush

brakes

diablo chip programming

subframe connectors

*edit* - almost forgot... new HU, infinity kappa speakers
yay!
got some stuff done, done so far:

brakes
subframe connectors
infinity speakers (reference, not kappa, only $25 on ebay
) - I think I am going to skip a HU for now

I hope to finish the 30k miles maintenance this month and get my diablo chip programmed by the end of the month

Stuff I have lined up...

Repairs/Maintenance:
- Transmission fluid change, filter/gasket
- Replace the f#*@ power door lock actuator on the drivers side door so it actually freaking opens when I hit the remote
ditto

I'm also going to replace some weather stripping in the driver's side door, and hopefully replace all the front speakers, too. [/b]
I got some crap done, too. I think it helped me when I made a list here.

Tranny fluid flush and filter change
Replaced lock actuator
Replaced front speakers

Still waiting to do weather stripping, and I need to replace that little flip-lid on the console, I need a stupid a** coolant level sensor. But, my friend that works at the junkyark told me they got 4 gen3's in this week, so I'll probably be up there Saturday. And I'll be installing a VAK as soon as the parts come and I have some free time.

Why'd you use lucas crap? I read an article on bobistheoilguy.com and he showed pics of how lucas makes your oil foam up so it can't lube as good as regular oil. He starts out testing in gear oil, but then moves on to motor oil.

That's odd. I've only heard good things about it so I thought I'd try it out. Meh, car's okay, I won't put it in next oil change.

Just didn't wanna use that engine flush crap and start bursting my seals.
