^Wow that sucks. I was going to the same thing on mine, with the Haynes manual. Looks like I'm going to need other sources.

Looked around to see what was causing the brake light to come on on my dash, haven't found the reason yet though, but they day is still young. EDIT: Found out that the reservoir cap was only half screwed down right. Cleaned out the little filter thingy, but I'll need to bleed the brakes soon, its the same color as the coke I was drinking.

Found out how to brake into my car, left my keys in the trunk. A little unsettling how easy it was =/. Got a butter knife to get the top weather stripping away from window, and got a coat hanger to flick open the lock switch.

i bought my civic from a smoker (yucky) so the inside had that smell thats really hard to get rid of, today i put some good old dog odor remover on my carpet and seats, bought some new floor mats and vaccumed it all away!! I sprayed wild cherry freshner under the seats and bought a wild cherry tree freshner to add to it!! (yummy) NO MORE SMOKE SMELL!!! I also changed the fuel filter and installed a new shifter **** since the old one was scratched! I bought a new filter for my short ram intake, because the old one that came with the car was too damaged to clean. Hopefully i will do my oil change soon!!

Geeze, I'm impressed at all the TLC you guys do for your car. All my Civic, a black EX called Miles, was clean the bird crap off of the roof.

^In my case my car was barely running, and the insides smelled like gym socks when I bought it when I bought it not too long ago. That and it was partially fueled by my OCD.

lol Miles.

Took my passenger door panel off, to fix a rattle noise and just to see how difficult it was. Taking off that window roller handle pissed me off!!! hehe
