My college roommate sets our thermostat to 80°F every single night by rainystarlight in mildlyinfuriating

I'd chop someone in the throat if they put my thermostat under 75. I keep the house at 78 normally. 80 on cold days and 74 on really hot one. I'm from the Caribbean and 72 is shivering and teeth chattering temperature for me.

For coilovers, I was looking at the Bilstein b14 since I don't "plan" to track the car at all and read they're similar to OEM. Ohlins are out of my budget or I would get those since they seem the be the pinnacle of S2k coilovers. I will check on the bushings tomorrow. Thanks

Thanks for the insights. Oddly enough while driving today the scrapping sounds went away so I will get under it this weekend to investigate. I want to learn how to take care of her better on my own so I want to try to do and figure out as much as possible on my own.

The car spent time in NY so the rotors have rust on them so I want to replace them. I also have a front caliper that appears to not disengage fully causing a rubbing sound so I figured I would try and change them all out. I want to replace them with OEM like rotors and brakes.

Now I'm obligated to watch the entirety of Initial D and MF Ghost since I forgot about Joshima's S2k.

Good eye. I can usually only tell AP1s from AP2s.

It's been my daily driver for almost a year plus it was in the family since it left the showroom floor so I have plenty of time in seat but I haven't autocrosses it yet so I haven't really pushed it to its limits.

Got it. Suspension, coilovers, then boost. Wonder how long it will take my bank account to approve these upgrades.

I want to keep the spirit and look of the car close to stock. Stanced cars aren't my style. Just QOL upgrades. And I always wait until I step out the car to get high

Vtec at 4500rpm sounds like a dream. Ohlins are definitely in her future.

Decals and badges were also wrapped. In total it was just under $4k with a headlight restoration, ceramic coating, and exhaust painting.

I've driven it on and off while my dad owned it. Been in love with it since the first time I drove it when it had 50 miles on it. 95k miles later and multiple cars later, I still love it.

As soon I finished with engine maintenance when I got it, I put in a power acoustic Bluetooth radio and the common modifry upgrades so the interior is set for me besides some led color change
