What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

What did you use to bleed the brake system after the replacement?

 

Haha my old pads looks about the same!

 

I didn't bleed them. I didn't open the brake system. Just new pads and rotors.

 

Gamehenge: Dreams of a functional garage. My wife's car stays in one. The other has been a giant, but organized, pile since we bought this fixer upper 4+ years ago. Also no bueno. But, there is light at the end of the tunnel. She said, once we finish the master bathroom (which I took down to the studs...including the floor), I can finish my garage. So, a mini split may be on the future menu. Especially if I store my RC collection out there.

 

Heatwave hopefully will subside in October. Lol I have a lot to do, but I sweat enough at work. 90% outside. Yay

 

Installed a tailgate mat from Amazon. Not bad for 30 bucks. Quality is actually good for Chinese made.

 

Had 10K mile service with weld spatter recall done today. Spent very close to 2 hours at the dealership. There were 2 of the 8 bolts that had weld spatter on them and were replaced. I will now be doing oil changes in between the 10k factory oil changes.

 

Both of which requires faith and lots of patience

 

Wash and wax

 

After recently swapping the grill (@customcargrills) , I added the small matching pieces near head and fog lights.
Take it easy with the drill near the headlights !

 

swapped out the OEM halogen headlights for some ebay knockoffs of the old pro headlights, Fit is okay, but they look good. Hanging onto the OEMs just incase these don't work out.

 

Too damn hot to mess with it. Install this weekend if I don’t gotta work Sat. 95 today. Looking at hotter tomorrow

 

What process/product did you use?

 

I replaced the switch with the 2lo switch, and taped the charger wires after clipping the terminals off.

 

Those look good! I was wondering what you were talking about when you mentioned them when you posted the grille installed.

 

I changed the transmission fluid today at 130k miles. Drained out 2.5 quarts, added 3 quarts, and drained out another 0.25 quarts. Or in other words I drained 2.5 and added 2.75, so it was 0.25 quarts low from the factory. I still think it's ridiculous that the check has to be done at a specific temperature, and that there's not more allowable tolerance on the fluid level. Seems like a poor design.

Old fluid was dark brownish red. When the temp check mode was ready I measured 96.5 degrees F on the bottom of the pan with an infrared thermometer.

I should probably do this a few more times to get more of the old fluid out. But it's going to be 100+ degrees later this week, so working in the garage with be unbearable after 10am.

 

I had mine done three months ago and everything was good, at least that's what they told me.

 

I'm thinking about doing that, I keep seeing them on ETSY for $40.

 

Nice message count…

 

Hard to tell from the picture but is there a replacement cubby/shelf you purchased? The rubber mat is bubbled up and I'm wanting to remove it.
