Went to Lowe's and hauled back ten more rolls of insulation for my attic. I've gotten twelve rolls in the Fit previously, but that requires taking over the front passenger seat and blocking the outside mirror from view. The inside mirror is useless in either case.

(Hauling the insulation home is much more fun than crawling around among the roof trusses unrolling it!)

 

Foggy morning shot

 

Eww 10char.

 

lots of nice picts.

for me, just cleaned up my '12 GE's engine bay this am. going to go drive it around this afternoon to run errands. im looking forward to that.

 

Black Plastidip on the exterior badging for the 2012.

 

anyway.....

 

motored my '12 GE for errands this pm, spot QD'ed, fixed the clocks on both cars. waz a great afternoon.

some import guys that i didnt know were having a meet at the store parking lot and they gave me a double thumbs up.

 

Drove mine to the range to send some lead down range.

 

how did you manage not to get plastidip on your rotors and drums? Also, index cards would have kept the blue off your tires

 

masked it off with a plastic bag per dipyourcar.com instructions. I didn't want to use index cards because it I didn't want the cards sticking to the wheels.

 

Same questions Rick! It's been awhile we should meet up soon for a photoshoot or something.
Also, Jin, you have the downpipe already right? Any major difference with just that?

I have to agree. Such a random color, especially on the fuel door. Atleast you can peel it off

 

lol, that makes sense, i wanna do mine in black but when i did my Rota's that were on my Civic i actually took them all off and that was too much of a pain in the ass for what i was doing. I know it's gonna start getting cold here in the Midwest so i think i'll wait to dip my wheels when it warms up.

 

Oh nice! Possible link of where you purchased these from? Had a couple places saved back then but cant find them anymore lol

 

tonight, motored my '12 GE like i meant it. not abusively or illegally. just drove it lively and had a great time.

 

your car was yelling "thank you! oooh thank you thank you!!" as you floored the pedal.

 

Installed OEM window visors. I like the look. Next on my to do list is to get my windows tinted! 70% on the front windshield 35% on the rest.

 

hahaha, yah, the engine likes to be rev'ed for sure.


today, just motored my GE to work, and ran a quick errand to the stores during my break.

 

Finally started messing with the FIC. Basically made my MAF and MAP voltage clamp maps.

I'm sure they still need a little tweaking here and there, but my fuel trims are really close to what they were before the clamps, so looks like I did it right.

 

Oil change
Installed the winter tires
Serviced the front and rear brakes
Replaced the block heater cord
Replaced the engine air filter

Thanks to the tech at work for getting it done.

 

How do you like the block heater? I am thinking about getting one. How long does the heat take to come out when it is used?
