I picked up a set of BBS RS 2 years ago and have been rebuilding them over the winter. Good news is tires came today, bad news I got the wheels mounted on two of the rims and one of them leaks

The rim is a three piece wheel and I must not have gotten it air tight, I'm going to refill the tire then run soapy water around the lip to find the leak(s)

Thumbs up Nice Job on your rims

They look every impressive MN I love the look of the BBS on the GD3's. Is that an orange center? I like me some orange now
There was a set a few weeks ago that someone was selling here on a black GD3 and man did it look good let me see if I can find it? Yep here it is. Is that not the best look or what?

But yours are look killer on your Black GD3!! I'm look'n 4ward to see'n some pix

^^ I think this was the first wheel that I sealed up so I might not have done a very good job sealing, even though I was sure I triple checked them and dint see any potential leak areas.

Celebrated!!!

Washed and detailed the Fit in celebration of paying it off early AND receiving the title via the mail. Now it is truly MINE! MINE!
Oh! and I also installed a K&N air filter that I bought on Ebay for $28 plus $10.00 shipping!!!

Drove it to work, as normal. Seems like it's one of those fuel tanks that'll yield me more kilometers before empty I'm at 340 km right now and I'm still just slightly below half, so that's good news.

Four days to go until Honda Makati gets all the parts required for my windshield replacement job. They said they had to order the mouldings from the Thailand plant...I just hope it finally gets replaced as the crack is getting worryingly long.

I spent hours covering the intake and boost pipes for my KWSC with self adhesive foam and foil duct insulation..... Hopefully along with a very heavily insulated header, hood louvers and inter cooler I will see a major reduction of intake air temperature, if not I guess I will try a NACA duct and PRM filter and possibly follow up with methanol/water injection.....I want year round big time cool air to this thing.

My hands are bleeding but I have my ECU removed and boxed up to ship off to Hondata... Hopefully I will have everything else installed correctly and be ready to go when it is returned and I reinstall it..... I probably won't though, damn it.

Tried to measure how think the front sway bar is. I didn't get the measurement yet but I know its larger than 19MM. I also tinkered around with the head unit's settings and my iPod's equalizers. Man, this is a slow week.
