So I was changing my oil and noticed my CV boot was slashed. It looks pretty recent, and the grease inside was still relatively clean. I decided to repair best I could and wait on a part.

Pictures as follows:


My ripped CV boot.


Different angle. Not the best quality, but light and space was a bit limited.


Shot from the top. You can see how the rip comes together at the top, so I chose to seal it with some CTV.


Nothing much to see here, folks. Totally stock.


Up on jacks! Thrilling!


You can see where a very small amount of grease hit the back of my wheel well. Other than that it's a break disc. Party at my house.


Yeah I just waxed that, so keep your grubby hands of it. Note the dent You can see the my dad's Legend in the reflection. We're an Acura family. How sweet.


Closeup of damage done to my car when I hit a cone lying in the middle of my lane on the freeway after work. They were doing roadwork, and they left a cone smack in the MIDDLE of my lane, and it had fallen over facing away from me and only the black underside of the cone was showing. By the time I saw it I was right on top of it. I was lucky enough not to smack it with the dead centre of my car. But, what was done aint pretty. I'm going to have to do something about that. Oh by the way, :madfawk: you Caltrans. :madfawk: right in the ear.


My clutch pad. What's left of it.


High mileage, ya think?


The CTV drying on the crack in the boot. Please hold, please hold!


My weapon of choice. 133k isn't nice for the wheels.
