Yeah i really hate taking off the face plate for the console reall bitch to take off

Worst when I had to solder each and every wire for my DVD headunit in that crowded confined space because the wire harness I got did not match.

I'm going to change my valve cover gaskets, and spark plug seals soon when i receive it since its leaking. I need to apply some silicone sealant (insert hondabond, permatex, gasket maker etc.) around the edges of the gasket.. but do I apply onto the valve cover, or on the engine block where the cover would sit??

Also do i put the cover back on while the sealant is curing or do i wait till its dry and rubbery?

I know on B series they didnt use and gasket sealant for the valve cover, unsure what the process is for K series though.

Can anyone confirm what OBD2 protocol these things of ours utilise? I'm keen on getting a wireless OBD2 reader to send the info to my iPhone. I've worked out that it has to be wifi (not bluetooth) as the iPhone's bluetooth won't talk to these devices, but I'm stuck on how to find out what OBD protocol they employ?

I just figure if I'm not interested in having 3 pods sitting up atop the dash, this would be a good way of finding out whats doing in the engine bay without having to get all permanent modification man on my shit.

Have you considered - http://arkdesign-us.com/products/ele...unction-dash-2

Not sure if you already looked into this device - http://www.plxdevices.com/product_in...=GSSTBLUETOOTH didn't look into Mich but there's no indication that it wouldn't work.

has anyone ever used J's racing engine mounts or have experience with them?

because my engine mounts are due for a change, so need to start looking

from what ive heard, J's are pretty stiff. it supplies all 4 mounts but your car vibrates during idle.
mugen is in between OEM and J's. no vibrations. but only supplies 3 (drivers side, passengers side and front). you can change the back ones if u want but really, the first side to go will be the drivers side so thats the most important one.

thats what i heard as well, however, its only 20% stiffer from OEM? and oem stiff ratings at 58 on average.

but surprising the first mount to go wasnt my drivers side it was my front mount, so im kinda deciding on which mount to go with,

the girlfriend doesnt want the car to be vibrating like crazy, which is steered me away from hardracing and hasport mounts but oh well~

Icebox I've been in EP3's with Hassport and J's I think J's isnt that bad as oppose to Hasp. Hassport feels a bit more stiffer meaning more vibrations.
