Washed the exterior off just to kill time, and wound up vacuuming and scrubbing the interior as well. Decided to go nuts, took apart the middle console so I could get the gunk from between the plastic pieces as well as scrub my shifter boot. Since I can't do it at my apartment and I'm house sitting for my folks, I went ahead and changed out the oil, so set a reminder for 176k miles to do it all over again. Still trying to figure out where she's leaking from though.

Spent a little over three hours swapping seat pans from my EK seats over to some '90 Prelude seats and reinstalled. Much more comfy now. Also finished my radio move kit, for the most part.

washed, waxed, cleaned junk out of interior... added fragrance... smelled like old honda car...

Is it just me or do they all smell the same once they get older?

Need to claybar, vacuum, and shampoo her again...

Oh, and drove it for the first time in a month and a half...realized that I have a horrible camber angle on my right rear wheel and starting to get kinda worried about it...

^ thats why you get air fresheners and not talking about cheapie crap. best ones IMO are the large can style that are suposed to absorbe some of the smell and leave a orange smell.
it worked great on my old 94 civics funkie smell!

stopped being lazy and finally put on my registration renewal stickers on the plate. I have had them for over a month and when a sheriff pulled up and said renew them I was like, I guess it's time to put them on lol

and tomorrow I need to pick up some stainless steel screws for the plate because the plastic ones stripped the head, one of them needed to be drilled out.(rust formed around threads)

damn drivers window still wants to pop out if I roll it down more than half way, I really don't want to buy another regulator(current one is autozone brand, cheap as hell and was bent when installed. Also might as well buy a new motor), and new window glide rails

cleaned intake air filter, cleaned intake piping, cleaned air sensor, cleaned throttle body.

Filled up from my trip to Green Bay and averaged 38mpg. For a 95 automatic with 171,000 miles and the a/c on most of the way I can't complain.
