Put on my Rays hubcentric rings. Waited 6 weeks for them because Rays is the ONLY company I could find that makes 65 - 56.1 rings.

Brand new car, and there is no road hazard warranty?
- i'm so going to look into that.

nope. Oh well - I probably would've swapped them out when I realized how bad they were anyway.

I got my awesome old school Honda center caps today, I just need to get some chrome trim rings so I can ditch the hubcaps.

Can't seem to figure out the cleanest way to wire from alternator to battery and use the battery splitter I got. I also miscalculated the number of terminals I needed so I still need to order some more.

Sanded and primed new wheels, awaiting color choice. Suggesting for alabaster silver?

Swapped out the snows for the summer tires! General G-Max AS03 on Kossi K4R 16x6.5. They ride nice!

Also checked the brake pads since I will be going to a track the 7th. Tons of pad left for having 40k on the factory pads.

As a note, my dad got a new camera so I wanted to play with it. This is a 100% crop!

One aught wire is huge, no?
Do explain reasoning, please, there may be something for me to learn here; even if it's that: it was all you had lying around.
- I do know that heat creates resistance which = voltage drop but, those are really short lengths you're using and inrush current just won't last long enough.(plus a compression connector for a mere #4 wire is like 5$)

thanks.
