Nice pics Brett, love the boat in the dam! That must have been a good effort. Waterski much?

Interesting about the oils too. Thanks for the link, skimmed through it and will definitely read it properly some time. Just hit 231000 tonight and is due for a change.

Yeah man, every car has it's own history eh! I think actually that's about 15000 I've put on this car now since I've had it.

She still pulls strong for a stocker. Only thing is I'm chasing the most minor of radiator coolant leaks, it only shows up when I've been VTECing hard for a bit, it'll drop a few drops (literally) on the road. If I drive like a granny everything is perfect. I'm thinking I might have to get Red Devil Radiators to give it a good pressure test and it will eventually show up for them, see if they can pinpoint it and fix it up. My dad helped me tighten all the clamps we could find but it's still doing it and he's overseas at the moment.

New tyres seem to be getting better and better, had to go to the shop last night in the rain, and I can definitely feel the difference around round-a-bouts in the wet, even when I wasn't pushing it very hard at all.

Thought about getting a nice intake setup Troy? It's worth it, even just for the sound alone

**Troy** · 03-12-2010 10:34 AM

Sure! Care to donate to my cause? Cause three kids = money spent on food, nappies, and not enough left for bills.

Haha I think you'll need the nappy when you hear your crossover with a sweet CAI =P

What engine does the CD5 vti have? H22a? C27 V6?

**Vvvtec** · 03-12-2010 12:36 PM

F22 isn't it? Or an F series of some sort?

**Mikecivic78** · 03-12-2010 12:46 PM

If it's an F series, keep it stock IMO. Not worth it for minimal gains.

H22a or C27 is another story. I'd like to try driving an Accord with a V6 C27a.

Actually if I could justify the spend, I'd be driving a V8. Rego/fuel/insurance all add up unfortunately.
