I am going to check it out ASAP ! Thanks for the attention, and wow SUPER MODERATOR haha! Thats sounds awesome.

Use Nick or I as a resource. Theres lots of wight in these cars. And being a mod isnt all its cracked up to be.

Soo guys just got done , Taking those plastic trims out.. I might have lost about 2lbs during this based on how sweaty i got.. Jumping in and out of the trunk... Honda/Acura definitely didn't want their trim removed it seems , There was about 4 different types of bolts . some hidden in the darkest parts Especially the one next to rear suspension under the cover got me ! lol... But also had a nasty surprise , you guys tell me how nasty it is... Anyone know what the heck this thing is? It's disconnected/cut and rest of it goes under the fender somewhere...

sunroof drain

It looks like a drain tube for the sunroof.

it is

Oh cool! was worried it was something mechanical , like related to the brakes or fuel or something Good news!

You need that unless you take out your sunroof

Ok thanks.. It seemed like it was barely on and when i touched it , it popped out.. What is going through it just water? I mean if it's the water it barely rains here anyways so ill kinda getto rig it and just plug it in and tape it up should be good.. Guess thats what a "drain" is right.. It's seems to be just cut from the rest of the piping..

What else do you guys have on mind.. I heard you can remove the washer fluid tank? Im taking out the pillars and seatbelts right now..

Mobil 1 synthetic is good oil man. Don't knock it. I personally use Brad Penn, but I am probably the only person on the site that uses it. I use it for a simple reason. The reason is I decided to give it a try for a year. Since then I have opened up my motor after several track days and the bearings and other internals look brand spanking new. So, I keep using it. Mobil is good though and easy to come by.

Guys i just put some oil in my car and something weird happened... I only put 3 quarts and the dipstick showed me exactly halfway between the lines... Now i know that i did empty all of it because i took out almost 5 quarts.. Anybody have an idea what this might be? And yes i checked a few times and the oil was very clear so no sign of the other oil...

I used redline on my mustang , gti and my 2001 bmw with a motor that was in bad shape... Redline felt like was motor was in less stress and running tip top... I did an oil change in my mustang about every 8 thousand miles and everytime i was surprised how clean the oil came out.. Also better gas mileage for sure! I trust mobil 1 for the pure fact that bmw comes factory filled with it , at least it does in Europe ... And it says Mobil 1 on cap , front shield and manual... If bmw trusts it i do as well...

I heard Brad Penn was the same as Quaker State? And i heard lots of good things about Quaker State.. The only oil's i don't trust are off brand , peak , Oreilly, Autozone , Wallmart whatever and ROYAL PURPLE .. Royal purple has been "banned" across all the car clubs i have been in... Few friends have used it on their GTI's and BMW's and one GTI owner busted his turbo at 35 thousand miles...! Nobody says anything good even the guy i bought the integra from said his friend blew his civic si in 3 thousand miles with synthetic royal purple at 130k...
But i believe it's because it's really thin... Race cars might be good with it since they rebuild their motors after every time and seals are good.. Also on Mitsubishi Forum heard stock evo turbo drinks a quart of Royal Purple every 2000 miles because it's so thin..

Anybody?

Not sure what to tell you about your oil issue. Start the car for a 5 seconds and then turn it off. This allows the pump you fill everything back up, such as the oil filter, etc. Then check it again and top it off.

i want to use it because its green. BUt i like the mobil 1 i use. I tends to get dirty a tad quicker than Amsoil signature does. But meh, i change it almost every track day.

I heard more oil is alot worse than less oil... After i leveled my car i put most of the 4th quart and stick showed almost max... I believe after i run the car a little bit it'll take close to 4 and a half..

I seriously heard some bad horror stories about putting too much oil...
