Well, my car is ready but I have serious doubts about the driver. A couple days ago I re-torqued the locknuts, yesterday evening I spent 2 hours looking for the locknut key only to find it laying underneath the passenger floormat.

Diff changed at OKI Tech Day (Lunken Airport). Also did tranny there, but had it re-done, as we developed a new leak, that we finally diagnosed at the slave Master Cylinder. Will have that replaced before Dragon. Oil has been changed.

Brakes are at 50% life, and tires have about 5000 miles on them (Nokian Z-Line). Need to fix small tear (wear) on driver side top. Got the Black Patch in the mail on Friday to fix it. I was on the soccer pitch all weekend (US Soccer official). I'll apply the patch to the right side as well, as it is starting to wear.

Ok... need to install the Modifry straps for my top...

If my cousin's husband can find a weekend, I have a full audio install to complete.

Audio system on hold (took a temp job in Texas). Modifry straps are on hold (ran out of time between out of state soccer tournaments). I did add The Black Patch to both sides of my top, where it is starting to wear. When I get back from the Dragon, I'll see if my Honda dealership will invoke the TSB to replace my hood. (fingers crossed).

Clutch Master and Slave cylinders are replaced, thanks to Jonathan Saul in Enon. Super knowledgeable on Honda's and is 2000 S2000.

Just need to pack and finish the cell phone mount install (the ProClip screws supplied with my mount are too small for the Modifry mount - 5 minutes at Ace Hardware will fix that). Co-workers GoPro is ready to go!

See you all at Montgomery inn

What's the TSB about the hood?

After chasing Mike & Cathy on the drive after lunch on Friday, I found out my car really wasn't ready. I'll be changing out the brake fluid next chance I get so I don't boil the fluid on my next mountain drive.
