So I need to track down a small exhaust leak. Even with the leak the car sounds good for sure. Surprised that with the DP’s and exhaust made nice difference on how the car runs and drives. It has a better pick me up even without a tune. I will try to get sound clips of the exhaust over the next two weeks.

So went to change spark plugs(still good) and found out my VC’s on both sides are leaking. Gonna pull the valve covers and change the gaskets out here in the next month.

So figured while the Vc’s were off I might has well go ahead and install the JHM intake spacers too. My PCV lines look good. no crackes and look like they were replaced when they did the 100k mile service.

Gonna pop in a new fuel filter here soon as well.

I do have a weird sound btw. When I reverse I get a whine from the rear. I wonder if I need to drain and refill the diff. Also, my tranny is kinda loud when shifting too. I am curious if I need to add more fluid. I had a flush done at the same time.

Getting a left dipped headlight, so need to pull the lights and check all the connections. I also have a flicker so new bulbs are due too.

Other than the small things that have come up the car is awesome.

Looking at doing suspension here soon. Was going to change out all the CA’s and was thinking about doing either St coilovers or just a koni/ebiach setup.

  1. Definitely do the spacers
  2. The DPs make a huge difference, the stock cats are retarded restrictive
  3. Do you have the 01E or 02X trans?

Exhaust is the big game changer on our cars. Nice to hear you’re enjoying the car. I’d highly recommend the JHM tune.

Jake you should know all the answers brother ha ha. I have the 2003 which is the 01x

Are you FWD?

Lol if your a 2003 you should have the 01E not the 01x or 02x. I couldn’t remember which year you had off the top of my head since there is a split with transmissions.

no buddy awd lol. ya you are probably right with the 01e. 2003.
