Replaced the 4-pin relay on my air horn. I finally have a working horn again!

 

Blueboogers got it right on the shrouds. I like a clean minimalist look. The projector kit is the Morimoto FX-R. If anyone wants to do this retrofit, I made a custom 'mount' to support the projector in two places (instead of the usual one) in the stock reflector. It made for a much easier/stronger install.

 

Threw some new shoes on yesterday after a wash/wax... then the rain came through. Will try for a cleaner ride next weekend...

 

Winter Boots are on the FIT now (General Altimax Arctic on 15" Integra Alloys). Supposed to get some snow tonight and I figure I waited long enough. Pumped them up to 36PSI in the 33F Temps so i should be good for the drop in winter temps coming ahead.

Hope it fits.

 

I had an NRG cf knob for a while. It weighed nothing tho, i much prefer a heavy knob.

 

I like light ones, obviously. Feels more direct and like I can change gears around more easily. Heavy knobs are nice for cruising and everyday driving though.

 

Light knobs are nice for cars with transmissions that feel nice (most Hondas)
Heavy knobs are cool for cars that don't have that benefit (most others)

 

Completely agree. With the exception of some mazdas, and other cars here and there through the years. Overall, Honda has the shifter mastered.

 

Here's a pic of it installed. It's threaded!



There is a small gap at the bottom that the stock boot fills up, but I'm going to get a collar with the new boot, or figure something out. New boot up next.

 

Got a good deal on some snow tires & wheels so I threw them on today. Over half way through December and we haven't had any measurable snow in my area of upstate NY...figured I was pushing my luck waiting this long to begin with.

 

Started it in -27C. It doesn't like that, even with the block heater plugged in. It did cough into life though. I'm sure everyone here knows this already, but man does our stock battery suck. 330 CCA? In a place that gets down to -50C, that's *useless*.

 

Well then replace it. Manufacturers rarely put a very strong battery in their vehicles to save on cost. Even $300,000 supercars require a trickle charger sometimes. I know the Porsche Carrera GT did.

 

So a three year old motorcycle sized battery almost didn't start a car in extreme weather. Does the block heater affect the battery? Surely you have that wrapped in its own heater...

 

My problem is this: If I replace the battery, I have to also pay $50 on top of the cost of the battery to have the car starter reprogrammed. The wife insisted on it, and its the last one I'll ever have. If the car gets a boost, the battery dies or is disconnected, it goes nuts. The car starts itself and won't shut off unless you turn the key all the way, and the security system goes nuts if you touch the buttons on the starter fob.

Edit: They make battery heaters? If I'd known that, I'd have done that earlier...

 

Ordered a key fob cover from a due in Taiwan selling powerfold mirrors to see how I like his speed/efficiency in shipping.

 

is it the same seller i got mine from? a week for the mirrors, better than the month it took the winker caps from thailand

 

casakeytw?

 

Yah thats the one. One week to get it painted another to ship

 

How much for the folding mirrors?
