I have been wanting to do that for a while now. Looks good with the different colors. How many cans did you end up using?

jsBLwrx · 11-24-2012, 05:29 PM

Added SPT anodized blue aluminum oil cap and the matching battery tie down

Replaced the SPT short throw shift knob with a billet aluminum one

jonathoner · 11-24-2012, 06:30 PM

Extended wheel studs on 3 corners. Thought I forgot the last set at home then found then in my car while i was backing it out of the garage LOL. Everyone swore up and down that you need to press the wheel bearing out but I just bored out the ABS sensor hole with a die grinder and carbide bit and stuck them in through there.

For those of you that don't have chance to enjoy changing a Civic SI's oil...

Yes you need to remove the passenger side wheel, and yes that's the filter over top the control arm, axle, and frame rail, and yes, oil gets on every single one of them as with runs down the frame like a river for a good 2-3 feet.

You almost have to pop your arm out of socket to reach the oil filter and there's zero chance of seeing what's going on, you have to feel for the threads and hope for the best.

At least the drain plug is on the bottom of the oil pan....

A Subaru for those of you not willing to get under your cars.

infinite012 · 11-24-2012, 08:36 PM

Subaru oil changes got infinitely easier with the new Toyota boxer engines with the filter on top of the block.

GraverD · 11-24-2012, 08:37 PM

got dyno tuned!

jeffie7 · 11-24-2012, 09:19 PM

I like the paper filters Mercedes uses. Also on the top side of the motor.
