They should actually... in fact those are the one's I ment to type but had a brain fart midpost.

 

cool. swifts is good stuff.

 

yah, for GK they list PN: 4H916

Swift Springs USA

 

Mmhmm! Last I checked they were on Amazon.com in the 200 to 300 USD range... very tempting.

 

nice! i think i paid something like that too on my GE's set.

so ive been driving the GK the last few days. i can't get the driving position quite right on this car.. driver seat feels like an airplane seatback with the back kind of caved in. not extremely comfortable, makes me feel bloated after a while. im not sure if the seat offers lumbar support or not (didnt check), but it just does not fit my body very well.

and i still can't like the AT... especially in congestion where im rolling around 15-35mph swiftly through traffic in variable speed using manual shift mode. being an MT driver, the slop in the drivetrain bothers me the most. the CVT is not horrible like the AT that was in my old GE's though.

MT is the only way to go on these smaller cars especially if one's into driving. You miss out so much with the AT.

 

drove my GE today... was refreshing to be back in my usual MT car.

too bad i will never get to try a japan made 6MT GK..

 

forgot to mention... the husky liners in the GK did very well during the snow storm over the weekend.

the passenger side has not moved around either... maybe Husky revised the backing? not sure but no issue.
imho, i like it better than my Aries 3D as the Husky has tall grooves that channel water away from your shoes.

melted snow actually freezes over night here when you get in the car in the am.. with the aries you can slip and fall on ice ON the floor mat. lol

 

Good to know you liked the husky and they performed well in the snow. I tried some Styrofoam on the passenger side and will have to see if that works with passengers.

Have you tried the CVT in S mode? It approximates a stick shift better.

 

Yah, I was in S mode. I don't like the drivetrain slop. It's not terrible like the GE's AT though. The GK is my wife's car so it's fine.

 

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.

I know I ate too much. Need to excercise it off today..

 

got a screw stuck in the rear tire on my GE...

i took the wheel off the car and yanked out the screw from the tread.. luckily it did not go all the way through, and no air leak. wheew..

not that i can't plug it. waterless washed my car afterwards.

 

you all done with your xmas shopping? we wrapped and shipped out the last of the presents over the weekend.

wow was that A LOT of work. but came out with no papercuts while wrapping. lol

 

Done with everyone but the Mrs. & my younger brother.

Such a struggle haha.

Do you have big plans for the holiday?

 

Hahaha.

No big plans for me, just relaxing and working on some small projects at home.

How about you?

 

got the iphone6s pro-clip mounted on my GE. fed the cable at the top left corner of the HU bezel trim and ran the cable down to the cigarette lighter area where my charger is located. my HU has app-mode but didnt feel like doing the firmware update, getting the proper cables for it to work, etc. just for seeing things on the 5.8" screen when my iphone is right there next to it.

one thing to note on the pro-clip. the lightening connector is not aligned properly, off by as much as 0.7mm to the left.
i unscrewed the cable holder piece, cut off the left screw guide, placed iphone back in the cradle and tightened the cable holder piece down.
as long as the cable holder is slightly pointing to the left, no stress on the iphone.

also worked on my hobby cars yesterday, hardwired a usb charger for the iphone, etc.
had a good time.

 

this is the swivel one i speak of..

Apple iPhone 6s Without Case Padded Holder with Tilt Swivel for Cable Attachment*-*ProClip USA

with this setup you have the choice of using your own charger or hooking it up to your stereo for CarPlay connection.

i run this cable..


this is the base i use in the GE..
Honda Fit 2009-2014 ProClip Center Mount*-*ProClip USA

i installed this in the GK..
Honda*Fit*2016*Dashboard Mounts*-*ProClip USA

 

note that only apple's lightening cable and the cable i noted above fit the proclip cradle dat ive tested.

i have other brand lightening cables, but they were too big for the holder.

 

Pretty much that, finally got my new (to me) Klipsch speakers set up at home, so nice!

 

that's cool. ive been away from home stereos and home theater for a while. i use to have a pretty elaborate system but lately i only watch videos through my computer and a clean 22" display, audio going through a sony mini component system. it's got the audio depth i want so haven't gotten back into surround sound.

in my music room i run a pair of yamaha HS80 nearfield monitors with primaacoustic recoil stabilizers. i run the source through a 31 band per channel dbx EQ as the audio is caliberated to the room mode. i have a pink noise generator and caliberator to tune it. the audio is fairly flat and clean. also pyramid acoustic dampers on the walls to prevent unwanted reflection it sounds very good for a halfarsed setup, but it's plenty for me.

 

happy holidays to everyone. have a safe and fun weekend.


hope santa brings u wat u asked for going to bed early today..
