Yesterday it was wax on/wax off all afternoon. 2 coats of wax and detailing the engine bay and interior. Now I am going out to finish it up by using chrome polisher on the muffler pipe, Back 2 Black on the pillars and front cowl. Then I am finishing up my Kids Choice presentation using this little guy as my focal point:



I also have a bonsai tree, a few Japanese dolls (from my old penpals from Japan) and I just won a trophy last weekend with a small globe on it. Thinking of putting Domo Kun on top of the world and a little word cloud with something about world domination! LOL! OK - maybe that would be a little over the edge!

Hope everyone here has a great TGIF and gets to the weekend fast.

Looks good man! Needs a drop badly now though, that lip looks like a shin smasher!

^ NICE!

I gave it a good wash today and put in a couple of items that I don't want to forget when I leave for a drift event.

Yesterday:
- Got a replacement A/C compressor. Finally no more "seventh circle of Hell" driving moments inside Aibo.

- Drove to the Cultural Center of the Philippines and watched the penultimate day of "Cats" with my girl.

Today:
- Cleaned the interior. Swapped out my DIY Filtrete A/C filter, aired out the interior to remove the faint but pungent smell of durian, and checked fluid levels and tire pressures.

Couldn't help posting this though, I took this earlier this week. This is a photo I'd like to call "small, medium, large."

Beside Aibo are a Toyota Avanza (middle) and a Toyota Fortuner (left).

Had a great time at the car show and my little cousin stopped by with his Grammy to visit:



We also got a Top 25 Award! Ok I did forget to mention that I was shutting down the back hatch when it did not look like it was going to close. Stuck my two fingers inside the lip of the hatch to pull it back up and reclose when WHAM! it shut on me. I could not get to the latch because my left 2nd and 3rd fingers where caught. I yelled for my friend Dave and he came to rescue me from the finger eating hatch. Lucky for me there is a nice gap in the 2007 Fit hatch and not flush with the metal, or it would have been worse. Just a couple of sore fingers today and not much bruising. I will never again complain about how that area allows water inside that you have to dry off anytime the car is washed!

Ouch, you're the 3rd person that I've heard of getting attacked by their Fit. Maybe we need to start a thread about it.

As of right now, I'm lazily packing the Fit for today's event. Some people aren't courteous to help load stuff up. Kids these days...

installed a bunch of ebay leds;
cargo light
license plate light
dome light
and parking lights.
I'm so blinded from being a doh-doh and looking directly into them while installing.

Last night I went up to the RKC weekly meet. They had me park in the VIP section, a spot up front the RKC staff have cars they think are really cool park, so every one has a better chance of seeing them.

Towards the end of the night they called me over and on a megaphone and basic said they wanted to give me recognition and thought the boosted Fit was really cool and you probable will not see another one like it around here. They said they like seeing me out here and gave me some free stuff. I got a NOS shirt, NOS lanyard and a RK sticker.

This will give you a idea of the amount of cars there

That blows dude, I hope the cops catch the bastard that did that.

Today, I got a B1 & 2 service done as well as gotten the window switch recall done. It wasn't necessary for mine since I didn't get a letter, but my driver door's arm rest was loose so I figured they might as well. Gotta go back later to have my driver rear door's lock actuator replaced since it squelches whenever it locks.

Talking All Jacked up

Have been wanting to try the Ultimit Detailer by Meguair's and 4qt. of Mobil 1 syn. ATF for the MzFiT.
Driving the kids around and the rear tires rubbed soooo I added air to the shocks @ 70 psi no rubbing now and I can put 3 adults in the back seat going over rough roads and no issuses.

Today, I got and installed a Zeta dead pedal.

Install was a pain in the arse due to the awkward angle I had to be at to get the hood latch screws. I had to lay the passenger seat flat, lay across both seats and the center console just to get in a comfortable position. In addition to that, the holes for bottom screw didn't want to line up so I ended up fighting with that for 10 minutes.

It is a worthwhile add on though, it'll come in handy for holding myself in the seat during spirited drives.
