I think it's called a Fusa knot. It's what people into the VIP look hang from their mirrors.

I finished the last few adjustments from my clutch delay valve delete. Had to readjust the peddle position. I now have a wonderful feeling clutch engagement that actually feels even lighter than stock but catches nice and quick (engagement starts just a hair under 1/4 of the way up) and then is fully engaged with a hair under 1/2" free play. It is lovely!

I also figured out how to reversibly disable the traction control and VSA without having to have TPMS sensors on the car! I wish I had figured this out earlier (before I spent the $100 having the sensors moved to my snow tires...). It is so brilliantly simple I don't know why I didn't think of it before! All you do is disconnect the VSA button. At that point the VSA light comes on solidly (meaning the system is not functioning). I tested it on some gravel and indeed, no traction control or stability control!

I am one happy camper today, my car finally dives like I wanted it too (and knew it could) from the factory!

It is a Fusa knot....But it derives from the Chinese knotting tradition. I am a Canadian sailor and I make variations of all kinds to adorn my ship. It is a proud tradition among sailors. Mind you this tradition among the new generation in the NATO fleet is waning a bit.....sad. Still some are continuing the old ways. I have been to 64 different countries now and I've picked-up a new knot in everyone of them.

Congrats on this! I sort of picked up previously on comments regarding this mod, that it makes the car less drivable. Sounds like you've figured it out.

On the GE8 it is a pain to do, because they put the valve in the master cylinder. It was completely worth it now that I have it adjusted though. I had to change the cylinder out with a different one (off a 98 civic) but the hard line comes out in a different spot, so that involved finding out where to rout it in an area you can't see (below and to the right of the break booster, behind the strut tower and behind a bunch of wiring looms and such.)

Also! Did you guys know the clutch peddle has a latching mechanism built in to help hold the peddle in the fully depressed position? It is quite a nifty little trick spring at the top.

Drove it in rubbish weather on all season tires. Next paycheque can't come in fast enough. My wiper blade came in at the Honda dealer, so tomorrow I'll have wipers that actually wipe things off the windshield.

I graduated a long time ago but thanks for the FUSA compliments. The VIP scene has adopted it from Danjiri Matsuri festival, a cart pulling festival in Japan that started in the 1700s.

Ordered some Putco Jet Yellow H11 bulbs for the fog lights from CarID.com. CarID is great at matching or coming close to matching on prices. Once I get them installed I'll figure out if I want clear or yellow headlight armor on them.

I put yellow bulbs in mine as well. I prefer the clear lens myself. Wanted the nice yellow light though.

I bought a razor punk 180 at the Goodwill Store. Now I have a clown bike to go with my clown car.
