Replaced upper control arms w/ball joints, Steve said the rest of the front end is surprisingly tight for the mileage - "I had to look at the odometer again because I just couldn't believe it." Cleaned throttle body, replaced air filter and cabin air filter. Did idle/throttle relearn procedure. 3 days later pulled vtc actuator, cleaned up and tested for function, replaced front screen gasket, and reassemble. Car ran much more smoothly after this.

Bled 3/4 calipers 15 brake pulses each to freshen up fluid (used Honda dot3), couldn't get left rear bleeder to open but the fluid coming out of the others appeared honey-colored (still pretty good). Replaced pads and rotors all around with Centric elemental coating rotors and Centric metallic pads. Fresh coat of aluminum-colored high-temp paint applied to calipers. New slider pins up front, Napa Sil-glide lubricant applied to pins all around. I performed all work with parts purchased from Rock Auto.
