    Got my 1988 Acura Integer running and cleaned up.
    Before It was black with tree sap

    WOW you say! How did I make it look like new? Well @Dave.0 has his special sauce and so do I....Its simple.....Simple Green!

    Then I tried to find the oil leak on the R53, you can read about that in the oil leak thread. But my part from Detroit Tuned came, no more changing the exposition tank!

    @Dave.0 @agranger Dont be lusting over my custom CIA!:p

    The Acura is going up for sale, I hope I find it a good home.

    -You and I are almost identical with speaker brand choices. The only one of those I've never used is JL, I know they're good but I was always more of a Phoenix Gold and Kicker Solo Baric fan when it came to subs in those days.

    -I need to add a sub to my car and get that upgraded door speaker set from Bavsound. The wiring of the sub is a bit of a bitch with a stock stereo that has it's own amp, that's the only real reason I haven't added one yet.

    Installed a ByteTronik hidden dash cam today. Streams directly to your phone or iPad via WiFi. Very easy to wire because it just plugs into the OBD port. Has capability for up to 32gb micro sd card in the camera itself. Lots of different settings that can be done within the app. Cost- $110 shipped.
    I figured this would be a good way to record some of the runs that my Grandson and I make at MOTD this year. Truly a stealth installation.
    The link is to a friends writeup on the camera, with pictures.

    Interesting.. need to look into that. Problem is my OBD2 port is going to be plumb full with both the P3 gauges and the logger... wonder if I can do a 3 way splitter. Also looked at his page.. my Favorite exhaust sound was a Remus on my Corrado VR6. Need to look at them for a replacement for my oversized 3" currently on mine (I really need a 2.5).

    Yeah. I'm getting close to running out of foot room. I have the camera, NAVDY HUD, and a WiFi module hooked into mine. Using the module for bimmercode app and to run an iPhone SE set up for aux gauges. Also plan to use it for data logging that I need before bumping up to a Stage 2 tune.

    Lee that tank will leak at the cap. You need to get one with a real radiator cap not the shitty OEM plastic cap. The OEM ones always leak with that tank. Go ahead and ask me how I know. hahahaha

    You are a ray of sunshine! I was so proud of myself and you go and bust my bubble. Are you proud of my use of Simple Green? Its odd the more I hosed it off the more bubbles it made. So I will bring the Simple Green with me to the Dragon if you want to borrow some.:D

    I packed the R50 tonite and just need to pack my bag and the cigars. Then, about all I'll have left to do is to mow/trim one more time and take the dog for his daily constitutionals.
