Over the weekend installed the OEM leather shift knob. Definitely adds a little character to the interior.

 

Bought some CF Vinyl sticker and use it as door sill to protect from getting scratch.

 

Ordered Clazzio Seat Covers. Diamond Quilt, Dark Grey Body/Dark Grey Insert/White Stitching/White Honda Headrest Embroidery. I will take tons of pics and post them in the thread in my sig.

 

clean filter monday! letting her breath fresher air

 

i washed my GE's over the weekend. i need to wash the engine bay as soon as i have some time to rid all the salt.

going to be doing a HU install in the coming weeks on my '12.

 

trying to get some Honda dealer hook-up, if it's a go... who's down for a set?

 

^^^ I remember those... I almost went that route when I first got my car... Nori sent me the Japanese install pdf... probably still got it somewhere.


I finally washed my car this weekend after the winter... everything inside & out is spotless again. Glad the weather is warming up so I can install all these JDM goodies I've been gathering all winter.

 

Installed my amp and box to the car. It's been so long since I installed a system to any car. It took me 3 hours! The hardest part was getting the stock intake box out and punching a hole through that grommet. Amp turns on. Still waiting for the subwoofer to get delivered tomorrow and I'll be all set!

Also bought some cabinet repair brackets from Lowes and some extreme double sided outdoor 3m tape. Used a 90 degree bracket which I hammered to 45 degree angle - or close to it. Wish I had a vise grip to make it easier. Used that to prop up my Panson ETC so i can see it easier. Also mounted the subwoofer control under the steering column with the 3m tape.

 

seen a couple of fits with these. gold would clash with my new chrome grill. so no thanks =p

 

Day 10, first fill up, 34.4 liters.

Got car with 46 km's on it so I'm between
7.96 L/100km and
7.20 L/100km

much better than what I was roughly calculating. phew

talked with random salesrep at honda whom I told I already owned the car and:
800 km normal driving, then I can kick it and rev it.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand:
15,000.0 kilooooooometerrrrrrrrs before best fuel mileage comes around. gonna need another bag, I'm 7 clicks from work.

 

Took me a few passses before I saw your post.
I do like the 12volt folks.
And NOW I know what you're on about. All I saw was fan coming on and lights dimming.
But sure, If you're going to be drawing high-end audio type amperage, by all means, 1/0 it is.

When I had mine it was: Amp with 2x 20amp fuse and I wired with #6(80amp) instead of #8(55amp) to be sure to avoid any heat aka voltage drop issues.(also, i work with that stuff all the time so low $$$) (I didn't buy any #6 wiring kit)



addit:
I'll put here that I found that the rear seats can go back a 2nd notch and near-touch the cache-baggage thing. Woops!
And, the front seats fold backwards, not forwards. So get something to put on passsenger seat if you go for wood.

 

Just got my Tint done today 35% on the front windows 20% on the rears. Also received my much anticipated Axis LED Tails. Got everything done this afternoon. Cant wait to wash and wax.

 

Changed the oil for the 4th time. Looked like it should, even after nearly 10k miles. Also did the "JDM rear wiper mod." not for looks but to keep stuff from settling on it so much.

I also gave everything under there a good going over. After 2 years there is some slight rust and corrosion building up on anything exposed on the underside, but nothing too bad. The salt here really does a number on cars.

 

What's a break in? I was beating mine like a rented redheaded mule from day one.

 

Changed the oil. Now its fully synthetic. Its at 5300 miles. Loving the car. Looking into coiloivers now.

 

washed the jazz and first ride with the DC2 for 2013

 

^ nice R! I was actually thinking of picking one up as my next car (went as far as checking Craigslist, eBay, and autotrader)

 

Dropped it off at the dealer to have fog lights installed.

They gave me one of the most awful colored '12 Civic as a loaner car - it's called "cool mist metallic" I think - it's this crazy light blue color

 

i washed the windows inside and out. i ordered a scosche double din so i can install my touchscreen dvd player. and am going to order my motegi mr116 wheels here shortly. then come the speaker upgrades and tint (torn between platinum tint or black) some thoughts would be appreciated, my fit is crystal black.

 

I vote for black tint
