oil change last last Tuesday, replaced the brake pads and put in slotted and drilled rotors last Saturday.
Car wash today for a car meet later on today

 

I painted my callipers red, added 50bhp!

 

Blocked the Right rear wheel
Jacked up the left front corner.
Added support with some wood blocks
Removed the left front wheel
Used a long extension to remove the drain bolt
Drained the oil
Removed the fill plug and re-installed the drain plug
Put in approx. 1.6 quarts of Honda MTF with a Harbor Freight suction gun
Re-installed the fill pug
Re-installed the front tire and torqued the lug nuts to 80 ft.-lbs.
Removed the wood blocks and lowered the jack
Test drove.
Checked for leaks

 

How long did it take between thisand this
?

 

Should take around 30 min.

 

Ran errands while it was draining so I didn't track the time. But the 30 minutes that Previc93 said is a good estimate

 

changed spark plugs thi morning. bought ik22. no differences powerwise. idle is much smoother. old plugs were not so bad. did the idle relearn. still the car wont go past 160 kmh. I was pleased to see the coils were Hitachi... next thing on the list is valve lash adjustment

 

160kmh/100mph is still pretty fast. What do you need to go faster for?

 

no you are right, i dont need to go faster, i only go 65 mph on the highway. BUT in reality it was more to see if i 'gained' something power wise. i can't believe those car wont go past 170/180 kph... i do understand it's a 2600# car with a 1.5l though.

 

ho yeah i forgot to say i changed the front rotor also. gonnnnne is the pulsating brake pedal.

 

Put new fabric on the front doors. Will do the rears tomorrow.

 

Did the rear door panels. So much easier than the fronts!

 

Awesome fabric choice! Lol

 

I guess you choose against the set-up that would free up almost 10 extra hp. These were the model s2k that had F20C (which my 00 had).. Should have gone to Honda or go back to the store where you purchased the IK22 for the IK20. keep in mind you must ok running 91 octane or higher.. Face it. It's only 10gal tank.

 

It's the Denso IK22 that free up maybe a couple hp because they are one step colder than the stock plug and are of a smaller shape pointing into the combustion chamber and this only happens with 91+ octane.

I've never heard of the IK20 doing a 10 hp increase, please show us the link.

 

I notice 0 difference with IK22's and 93 vs 87.

 

Thanks!

 

domo how did your put the panel back together after re covering it?

 

Basically the way this guy did in his GE.
