Happy & safe 4th to all my fellow members !  Hope the biggest dangers you face are permagrins from too much fun and stomachs filled to bursting from too much good food!

Salute and thank you to the folks who protect our freedom from without and within.

Z, great thoughts on the windshield replacement.  I sure would hate a hack job on something like that!

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Seems like there is an update for sync on the 2010-2012 cars. Includes Bluetooth stability and the ability to see what is playing on the screen when streaming Bluetooth audio.

Quite difficult on a Honda Pilot as well, BUT, mostly the first time.  There are plates they put in to help the automated assembly of the dash, and these need to be permanently removed at the first service.  Fortunately, it is SO much easier on the Edge!

I would make an appt at the dealer and purchase the cabin filter while your there,then they should install it for free and ask them are there any tricks to install this without breaking anything. Z

Painted the rims today with duplicolor high performance wheel black with a gloss clear coat, to be honest, I'm not impressed. Looks like plasti dip with glossifier on it. I used rustoleum 2x gloss black for the rest of the chrome trim, turned out awesome, really nice gloss. I wonder if I can sand my rims back down and use that to paint them. Stuff sticks to anything

Walnut blasting media would probably be an easier method than sanding. Any pics by chance?

In another article, he says that water/methanol injection is of "limited value when it comes to reducing carbonaceous buildup in the inlet port and inlet valve surfaces", referring to lubricating oil-related deposits as opposed to fuel deposits.

yea. I'll throw some up in the pics section in the morning. Just pit them on and took the car off the stands tonight. They actually look decent in the car, will look even better when they completely dry and I put a nice coat of wax on.
