Yah, maybe next time honda makes a sports car (not that weak CRZ crap) I might consider getting it and ARC bits for it.
Honestly I was really looking forward to the rumored S3K with V6.

So today motored my FitS to my hair stylist. There's this new cute girl working there and my stylist and I were talking when I first made my appointment over 2 decades ago, this new girl wasn't even born. Lol

3 day weekend coming up for me. Can't wait to motor my Z again.

 

ok, so i think ive decided not to fix my FitS any more (well wheel bearing if noise gets worse, but lately im thinking the howling is from the tires, not the bearing.. ) the clutch shudder or the passenger side fender and just drive out the rest of the 9500miles. im at 21500miles to date so maybe one more year on my 08 and im done.

the plan is by that time my younger kid can get strap himself in/out of the car on his own so i can use my G35C as my dd. i suppose i'll use the stock wheels and put snows on them for winter.

 

Sold one of my synths this am. FitS did great carring the large box to FedEx.

Considering I have a lot of big things to carry I'm going to have to have at least one boxy car at home.

 

took the GD to a local festival yesterday with the family. No available parking, we thought, but found a tight spot in the corner and the car fit just fine.

Rain this am so going to pull out the G for a quick spin in the pm, I thinks. been playing keys in my music room.

Hope you guys are having a good weekend.

 

ended up not taking the G out yesterday. didnt dry up until mid afternoon and by that time was too lazy to take the car out. ...and more than ever, i am too lazy to wash the car to 'detailed' standards.

even on Sat it rained on my Z a little bit while i took her out. used Griot's SprayOn Car Wash to clean the side panels and rear bumper, and SprayOn wax'ed the entire car.

pickedup some wheel spacers from a local buddy today for the G's front wheels.
i didn't know kics made 10mm until recently and a guy local was coincidentally selling a pair.

 

yesterday installed the new to me 10mm spacers on the front wheels on my G and took her out for a quick test drive. no vibrations, feels pretty much the same, looks great, perfect!

ordering up a HU this week, i thinks...

 

doing a pioneer AVH3200DVD (i dont need nav or BT) along with the PAC remote controller module for the steering wheel. not sure if im going to do the rear view camera this time as the G has much better visibility than my Z.

going to start taking the car apart tonight so that it's ready to go on Friday. taking the 13th off!

 

so FedEX sent me a duty invoice for the exhaust i bought from japan for the Z... $12... lol WTF. they rip you off for freight ($125) then again not invoicing duty at the time of shipment so i have to go out of my way to issue and mail a check to them...

 

dang it, got a reminder that i have to run some errands after work... oh well, i might not get to working on my G tonight...

at least im driving my MT FitS around town.

 

here's where im at right now... waiting for my HU to come in.





i might decide and use the 4200 instead... not sure yet. there's a 3200 coming to me right now but i noticed there are decorative lines on the HU that kinda works against the factory trim opening... will have to see..

 

so i got two pioneer HU's coming to me... lol will decide between the two, but i think the 4100 is going to stay in my G.

did you guys know amazon's doing a sale on pioneer gear? punch in this promo-code during check out and get 30% off. too bad my 3200 was ordered at another store (will be returned now).

Here's the code: UIBMC8UY

 

Been waiting all morning to get my stereo stuff (while playing in my music room ofcourse ).

All I got so far is the frikken gasket that goes between the trim and HU's bezel.

where is my HU and the rest of the stuff?!

 

Just got done installing it. finally got rid of the damned cassette deck.

Using the JDM trim, moved the dual climate control button over from the stock HU.



zip-tied the resistor wiring onto the PAC so that the resistors don't tear apart
during re-assembly.



hole for the USB that goes into the cubby. the circle and line is for my EZ
felt how i would cut it (next pict)



here's how it looks inside. the color of the EZ felt is actually closer to
stock but the camera's flash made it look werd...



i decided to use up my normally-closed push switch to do the video bypass
inside the cubby. you can get this little switch from Radioshack. or you
can make an auto one using a relay... or buy a pre-fab'ed one off ebay.



bezel trim to rid the gap between the JDM trim and the HU. this trim came
with the 4100DVD. you can also buy a scosche DD trim from amazon if you
need one.



the trim was mounted onto the JDM trim on the inside using thin double
stick tape and some e-tape. otherwise it will rattle.




another angle.

 

Went to pickup some chinese for dinner in my FitS. Was a fun drive.

On the way there, some old time boxster wanted to race my FitS for some reason... Light changed and he sped off the line at WOT bogging like some old fart gasping for air as he crunched his gear box like some teenager joy riding a dump truck.

So I accelerated like normal and drove at speed limit and passed him at the next light since he was already there waiting at a red light and I just timed myself for the light to change. ofcourse I changed lanes in front of him just to reconfirm to him he is an idiot for street racing (by himself) and a douch in his slow 10+yr old boxster. lol

Food was great.

Afterwards cleaned up my G's leather seats using Griot's LeatherCare Spray and PrimaSlick'ed the wheels. car's spotless again.

Going to pull out my Z tomorrow.

 

Motored my z this am. Was a good drive. gotz a sore throat. Need to take it easy today.

 

Wife yanked me out of the house to go shopping with the kids at the mall for BTS stuff for the kids. The drive was pretty fun in my FitS. Quite a change from 340hp+ to 109hp though.

Got a great deal on many things , but my sore throat is definitely now a cold. I feel ill. oh wellz, guess ill take a nap at work tomorrow.

 

not feeling great today, but managed to crawl out of bed into my music room to practice. crawled to work as well. good thing my Fit's clutch is light. i need to get some meds for my cold anyway so decided to come to work. if it wasnt for that i
would be at home resting... head's kinda spinning.

 

headed over to the UPS store to drop-off my package and also get some meds for my cold.

while at the UPS store some guy around my age (maybe a tad older) was there
talking to the old clerk behind the counter telling him how to pack up his things and
how to insure it. the guy was basically being an arse talking to the old guy like
some 5yr old. i walk out of the store and sure enough there was a new A4
parked in the customer lot. hahaha. i was like 'how typical...'

 

gotz a nismo oil cap for my Z. thought it would just give it a sparkle, but it's actually quite nice how it's weighted and it feels good when tightening/loosening. the weight is enough that it can spin by itself. pretty cool...

i tried it on my G and heck, i want to get one for my G too now.

 

the local shop sold me the nismo cap at a great price... but i thinks he doesnt want to sell me another one at the same price cause he hasn't replied back. lol

hahaha... oh wellz.
