Anyway... Not too much action going on here for the GD3. Just the usual autocross, wash (every other week, sits in garage mostly), and occasionally taking it out to play Ingress.

I still need to raise it up on a lift at work and snap pictures of the rear disc conversion. May just do that when I rotate tires...
Yeah your correct on the location, I've been there just a few times. I did not know they were having a meet, was going home from work and seen these guys heading some where, so , I followed them and they led me to the meet which are the guys I am parked by. Yeah, I don't see many Fits out there but I try to represent the Fit community which is small �� I love attending these meets, gives me something to do and make friends, the guy with the black civic was cool. Hope to see you are any other Fits out there on there monthly prestige alliance meets. Was planning on making a decal that said either counterFIT or look Ma, dem hoes FIT. Hahah since everyone at the meet be having group decals on there windshields

Uninstalled the ingalls engine damper that the previous owner had put on. Seems like it was pretty worthless. Replaced a missing bolt in the exhaust manifold, no more tickticktickticktick. FUN STUFF.

Was your car missing the bolt when you bought it?

Excellent question!
I can't be 100% sure either way. I don't recall it making ticking sounds in the beginning of ownership though.

Did an oil change on the GD with the usual s2000 filter plus Royal Purple 5w30.
Was so excited to drive it out today until I checked that my pink slip is expired. Oh well.

Installed ARC Magic wind masters today. They probably don't do anything, but it's nice JDM bling.

Last couple of days. ... Clay Barred ENTIRE vehicle outside, yes yes. ... windows, bumper, lights. .... everything except the rims. Then Meguiars cleaner wax and Rain Ex (on windows and lights) whew. The wife and i are talking about "invisible mask" so as not to worry about our dirty freeways here in the Bay area.

Those door panels look nice! Unlike our boring fabric here.

Hi, have just had an email from a wrecker over in Hamilton. He has a complete interior like this. Waiting on a reply to see how much he wants for the door cards.

Looks like cleaning shouldn't be too hard.. That's one pass with the vacuum. Have just finished wet cleaning them so will see how they look in the morning.

[QUOTE=jmsplitfyre;1342627]Removed the front coilovers and gave it a little bit of cleaning and adjustment. The Function & Form Type II's don't go real low up front so I decided to push the preload a tiny bit more than advised.

You can also remove one of the collars on the bottom to get more low if your all the way down, I've ran it like this for over 2 years with no issues.
