Went to one of those local Worcester car meets that they have every Monday, it was a good time. Not many Hondas mine being the only si a lot of subies. There were about 25 people maybe 17 cars. It was a little weird I was the only one who didn't know someone but they did there best to make me feel welcome. I will be attending more often now!!

It would have been really weird because every one was in like a circle and I would have been walking around. Hahaha the cars weren't lined up due to an extremely awkward parking lot

Base and cable bushings? If you install the cable bushings yourself be careful no to bend your cables. Mine bent easily, luckily I was able to throw the OEM ones back in and take my car to Honda and have them fixed at no cost. Needless to say, I never reinstalled the bushings.

Everyones probably just waiting for the winter temps to go up a bit.... Im sure all in the NE have got cabin fever over new parts....

I've got winter rot setting into some parts. Need a new accessory belt, possible tensioner pulley, drivers side ball joint is creaking, front driver side brake is making scrubbing noises, rear sway bushings need to be greased,.......

Just need some warm weather so I can get these minor things sorted out.

Oh and a good wash, decon, polish, wax job as well.

It's not bad! Just need some warm weather to do a little maintenance work. Then everything will be all good again!

I drive an 08' so 5 years of salt bath winters. Minor things wear out. Im finally replacing the sway bushings with the energy suspension ones that have the zerk grease fittings. Then the lube job will take 5 min instead of 30.
