was raining this am and already tried the visors. fantastic. hahaha. im really liking them. no leaks nothing, which is good.

the instructions say not to wash the car for 24hrs... i guess i could've put some masking tape over the adhesive area but it did dry over night so i am assuming it is okay. it's going to be dry the next couple of days so i will press it down again once fully dry.

also my factory knob and sills, etc arrived. will install probably tomorrow morning while i wait for my swifts to come in. wheels are on the truck today to be delivered as well.

 

woot! wheels with tires arrived. will take a close look and snaps later.

cant wait to get the springs...

no word yet on the tanabe's tracking number... hummmm... this day and age, parts should ship out within 24hrs of order/payment along with tracking information.

 

You move too fast Ken... Enjoy what you are doing now because there will be a point in your life that everything you do will take longer..

 

cool, my tumi umbrella will arrive tomorrow too. i 'borrowed' the one from my G this morning....

my wife even escorted me outside to my Fit in our big golf umbrella since it was pouring this am. hahahaha.

 

i hope i can push myself to do more per day cause i am going like 250mph through the day right now. i get up a 6am, and in no time back to bed by 11:30pm.

one week goes by in a flash.
one month goes by in what felt like a week.
one year goes by in what felt like a month.
i can't seem to slow down!!

at least my kids dont slow me down when we're heading out. use to take like 15-30min in preparation. now it's like kid's already got his shoes on waiting at the front door...'dad, are you ready? are we going yet?'

 

mmmmm... speaking of kids, i have these 2 recaro booster seats in my '12. for some reason it rattles pretty loud in my Fit over bumps. it didn't make any noise in my G and my G's suspension is A LOT firmer. i need to check where the noise is coming from.

i also fixed the glove box door rattle in my '09 a few weeks back. the irony was i removed a factory installed strip of thin felt tape on the glove box door (passenger door side closest to the top) and the rattle went away. weird, huh? anyway, the '09 has been very quiet now while riding.

 

woot, got tracking for the muffler and will be delivered tomorrow as well.

so by late friday i should have these pieces installed.

 

was checking out some japanese folks doing DIY on their suspension.

i saw a different guy doing the remove all approach (cowl). hahaha.

 

hey can you guys do me a favor? if you find my blog pretty interesting, or even remotely interesting , would you click the REP button? located top right.

i just want to see how many members are actually reading my blog.

THANKS!

 

got the wheels cleaned up tonight. (the 4th one isn't in the pict but i have it..lol)




and got my factory bits (leather knob, cf trim, sills) along with the 12v usb adapter as well. the wheel locks will be used on my factory wheels in the winter time.

 

The wheels are nice.. I have no idea what the other stuff is.

 

The new FRS/BRZ wheels remind me of the T-Forks... neither here nor there but I felt like saying!

 

yah, the BRZ wheels are similar in theme i suppose. i think the t-forks are design wise, better looking. on the BRZ/FRS, i would put 19's on there and slam it. thing will get no rep in my area as roads are 90% straight. it will need to be a dress-up car.

here's some progress this am... ive not received my springs or muffler yet.







my younger kid holding the stock knob. the new knob matches the floormat blue which is nice.



i forgot to take pict of the sills, but those are done too.

i also went ahead and cracked loose the top tower nuts using my ratcheting box wrench with pivoting head. i verified that the shaft did not spin so it will be an easy out.

 

thanks coyote. and thanks for the reading verification rep. it looks like it's only you and a few others that are member at fitfreak reading my blog. hahaha it's okay.

thanks to all the guests reading.

 

Subscription post since I'm too lazy to click thread tools.

 

thanks!


where is the ups guy? <= my kid, he wants to work with dad.

where is the fedex guy? <= my kid, he wants to work with dad.

 

tanabe's installed. very quick and easy, perfect fitment.



but fedex guy with my swifts is no where to be found...well, at least not yet.
while my kid and i waited outside, we worked on putting stainless license plate screws and caps.

hope he swings by sooon...!!

 

swifts came in mid afternoon and immediately installed.

 

Swifts on a Fit -- very cool stuff.

You are missed at the other place.

 

Ahh, it feels good having kenchan back on ff.net
