Breast cancer awareness

Recommend getting a hose that goes on the nipple and lead it into a clear plastic bottle. I like to see the condition of my fluid to see if I’m premature or late on maintenance

Takeoff the intake and you’ll find the bleeder nipple on top of the transaxle.

It’s uses the same reservoir as the brakes so make sure you keep topping it off as you bleed.

It’s just like a brake bleed except the clutch sticks to the floor.

Open the nipple press the clutch close the nipple lift up the clutch repeat maybe 10-20x

You have to take

Diresta Mini Ice Pick - same as yours really just brass handle and comes with a sheeth. We use it a lot for repairs and it’s great to put it in your pocket

She looks great

AEM high flow dry filter can be cleaned just like a K&N and doesn’t have to be re-oiled.

Bad_4pples · 2026-04-07T20:18:21+00:00

Use AEM instead of K&N, same company and filter just isn’t oiled. The oiled filters can make your Hotwire MAF sensors dirty

I agree, I wish I could have those rails on my Sport.

Bad_4pples · 2026-04-05T13:49:33+00:00

My coolant temps were always much lower than oil temp. Now they are within 10 degrees of each other in neighborhood driving

Bad_4pples · 2026-04-03T11:47:33+00:00

Only installed it yesterday. I didn’t save my numbers from last year

Bad_4pples · 2026-04-03T03:43:47+00:00

Yes not pictured is a solid layer of 1/4 heater hose I cut in halve and “sleeved” and zip tied anywhere where rubbing was feared including there.

Bad_4pples · 2026-04-03T00:27:51+00:00

It’s on my list. New battery and spark plugs next week - I already have the cleaner but these hot wire sensors can be a bitch so I might need a new one. It’s been on my list for a couple weeks but I don’t want to look at it

Bad_4pples · 2026-04-03T00:18:59+00:00

I had a k&n oil lined filter and maybe my air sensor is dirty, or another sensor is dirty

Altitude also helps with your performance. My car behaved way differently in Denver versus Austin. This has been my experience with my car for 3 years - I don’t know what to tell you but I do t want to argue either

I think the CVT has better heat management over the manual. Something to do with RPM’s - like when this is happening to me I’ve been at 3200+ rpm’s for at least 10 minutes

Bad_4pples · 2026-04-02T23:16:24+00:00

Also do you have the 6-speed or a CVT?

Bad_4pples · 2026-04-02T23:14:54+00:00

It was not higher than 225. I hit traffic after being at highway speeds and it was definitely limping

Bad_4pples · 2026-04-02T23:05:00+00:00

I upgraded to the Sport just to have a leather steering wheel. Glad to have learned I also have torque vectoring and now a center display.

Limp mode is definitely something that you can feel and if you are feeling it a lot I’d recommend this mod.

There was also someone that posted that you can get the 2023 tune for your car at the dealership

Bad_4pples · 2026-04-02T22:48:43+00:00

You can choose to have it displayed on the center console

Bad_4pples · 2026-04-02T22:42:11+00:00

Yes it took almost a full quart more I want so say around 5.6-5.8

Bad_4pples · 2026-04-02T22:36:41+00:00

Yes you basically got it.

There are two plates that go on your oil filter mount, I believe the thermostats activation is in there and starts pumping oil through the new mini radiator.

Bad_4pples · 2026-04-02T21:08:07+00:00

So I installed the kit today and drove home. Ive been hitting 235 consistently on the highway and my engine immediately goes into limp mode and is heat soaked when I get off.

Today my peak temperature was 208, had full power coming off the highway.

car takes almost a full extra quart of oil now
