im not much of a club/dance music type, but her tunes is so smooth. found her on pandora. i also got her acoustic album which is also very good.

 

Looks like the GK is due for an oil change pretty soon. Down to 30%. Should start looking for deals and rebates for Mobil1..

 

hope it gets warmer soon. been noticing da sun setting later and later.. i could actually see when i left da office today.

 

hey i heard a rumor dat honda is going to release a concept of the next gen s2k or something dis fall? turbo 4 with 320hp range. not bad. if it looks good i might get one. never owned a vert.

 

Yeah I heard the same thing. They released the 1st sk2 during their 50th anniversary....and next year is their 70th....so maybe the rumors are true?

I wish it was still all motor though instead of a turbo. But thats just me.

 

yah Honda turbo's are fantastic. I wouldn't mind it at all. Actually after driving my GTI and STI, my NA V6 car feels slow.. haha

 

of course when u have a fast turbo car u want an even faster turbo car..

 

Yeah dont get me wrong that GTI turbo makes driving the fit....a little...boring...then you throw it around a corner and the slow car excitement is back haha.

I look forward to a new s2k =)

 

yah, i remember my GD with coilovers and GE with swifts were like a point and shoot car.. like it wasnt accurate but i just point the thing through a corner and it will hit da apex each time without nervousness. ...just as long as the open diff wasnt overwhelmed..

thing with the GTI is my gen (mk7) has LSD so it turns very well even more so dan the Fit with about double da power applied.. its a crazy little machine.. then out of the corner i got over 300ft/lbs of torque pulling da little machine with a super quick DSG gearbox so most cars in this 250-300hp range would be left in da dust. even my STI and 370Z would probably struggle keeping up.

having said dat, the new s2k will need to be very good.. otherwise i think im just going to abandon da 2 seater RWD platforms and go deeper into AWD.. AWD is just simply easier to control and no messing with wheel spin is a good thing off the da line.

 

U guys into headphones at all? I got dis new one from Sony called MDR1000X yesterday. Thing is like wow good for BT listening. cool features too.

 

craps, my wife curbed my TR wheels with the Blizzaks...
pretended i didnt see the curbed wheels..


in other news, washed my GTI.

 

Eek @ curbed wheels.

Thankfully just the snow set!

 

thankfully she hasn't curbed the factory wheels..

but just a matter of time, i guess.. hahaha

 

decided to change up the grill on my STI. should have the JDM grill in a few days.. and will swap da stupid meep meep horn to supertones. not into da red horn so will paint mine black before install. should finish it up real nice.

 

I agree about the color. I want the sharp tones for the GE...we will see. Did you order the STI bracket too?

 

yah, i got the perrin bracket on order.

if u do the GE, definitely use a relay and maybe a capacitor. i did a direct wire using my old G's horns (sounded good) and it's great for short bursts, but when i held it to tell a dumbarse who cut me off to behave, the a faking battery could not keep up with the current and da horn made a dying flimsy note after like 2sec. it was faking embarrassing.

 

HAHA yeah definitely doing a relay for sure.

 

hey got da perrin mount for the hellas tonight. got tracking number for the STI grill and the horns themselves.
going to paint them black tomorrow night and install saturday am.

 

alright, got all the bits needed for da install this weekend.

painted a coat of matte black on da hellas.. will do another coat tomorrow and let it dry over night

 

install went well and rather quick. was da first time removing da STI's bumper but no stupid stiff tabs or anything and it just slipped back on with ease.

da supertones are SUPER LOUD luv dem!!

and da JDM STI grill looks subtle and fantastic.
