The rear fogs have to be as bright as the rear brake lights so theres no worries there. As long as you have the ability to have a continuous bright red light at the rear of your car which you are able to switch on and off then that counts as a fog light. I'm planing on having my inside brake lights as brake lights and fogs in the future when I can be arsed to wire up some diodes into the circuit.
That looks like it's been undersealed btw Keeno

good good
I did think of doing the diode but couldnt be arsed in the end LOL
Little bit of an update today, nothing major just after looking at the Jap service history, funnily enough I can’t understand when the last gearbox oil change was done so decided to do it myself for peace of mind.
Things needed were:
- Honda OEM MTFIII oil - 2 litres (£14)
- Funnel (£ 3 from halfrauds)
- Piece of garden hose (dads garden hose is now mysteriously shorter :-$)
I started by taking the passenger side wheel off. Turned out that I didn’t need to take the arch liner off as the fill and drain plug were accessible:
I started by removing the fill plug using a socket wrench:
Next, I put an old tub under the gearbox to catch the oil and then removed the drain plug:
Whilst the oil was draining I changed the washers on the bolts:
After the oil was drained I replaced the drain plug. The hose was then attached to the end of the funnel and threaded through from the top and into the gearbox:
It took just over 1.5 litres’ to fill up before it started to overflow. After replacing the plug I cleaned up all the oil that had dripped onto the gearbox casing and replaced the wheel. Whole thing took about an hour and a half J
I also replaced the wipers as, after the rain we had, I discovered that they were pants. A new set of flat blade wipers were added as, on my old car, I found out that there were a lot better than the usual ones.

I wasnt having any problems before but the changes do now feel smoother. I was mainly doing it for peace of mind as the service manual seems to call for it every 30k miles and mines just coming up to that. Its a great feeling doin it yourself
