Oh no! Kenchan! Did you ask amazon to use that picture? I think you just claimed that as your own!!

Sorry, had to tease about that...especially since it is one of the first pics I've seen you post. LOL.

New GTI huh? well I got a new civic...GTI's are off my radar now. My friend was telling me to buy his GTI, and while I thoroughly enjoyed the car, I can't beat honda reliability/piece of mind. =)

 

LOL'ed i was doing amazon a favor by advertising for dem for free!

yah hope your civic is reliable as they can be. GL with ur ride.

 

think im going to pull out the STI on sat. haven't driven it for over a week now.

get a dose of boxer engine sound and the classic hydraulic pump steering. luv the refined old skool theme on the car.

 

alright, got up early so dat i can measure my GTI and GK's psi before sun is out.

 

added some air to both GTI and GK. GK needed a little bit of coolant so added and proceeded to drop my faking flashlight into the engine bay. lol

magnet tool to the rescue. good thing the GK's engine is so tiny lots of space to access

 

alright, on the menu today... just heading out to work and back, assemble 2 more shelves for the wife with my older kid.. then relax and TV

im looking forward to the relaxing drive in my GTI. might get gas on the way home depending on if im going to be using the car over the weekend or not.. not sure. my GTI rarely moves on days im off.

 

woot! got confirmation that the $70 rebate on my conti's were accepted and now a card to fall in my lap in the next couple of weeks.

 

on the menu today.. pulling out my STI for some motoring fun, followed by helping wife anchor down a couple of her new furniture to the wall studs, run a few errands, and going out for some sushi.

have a great saturday!

 

Nice on the $70 rebate.

Seems you guys really enjoy sushi haha.

 

yah, wife and kids and i headed out for some japanese last night and it was very good.

actually im having dinner with my work buddies tomorrow night too. more japanese and sushi. hahaha.

 

so this am weather wasnt going to hold up for too long so decided to take the STI for a short spin mainly to get gas. even though it was only like a 40min drive, i still had a great time and the air was cool so felt real nice.

got home, QD'ed the car, then worked on making markers in the R's diffusers on the inner lip so that i can tell where the jack points are. car isn't lowered but she is pretty low to start with in addition to the factory rockers + side diffusers, i have to literally find the jack points by touch. i cant see the jack points even with my head on the ground. lol

i made 8 tiny mouse hole marks on the diffusers using my rotary tool. now i just need to place my rubber jack adapter (like a thick hockey puck) between the mouse holes and im set. the marks aren't visible from the outside... i still have to get down real low to see them.

 

Hey kenchan, you have some awesome rides! How long do you plan on keeping them? It looks like you are quite the car aficionado!

I just bought a 2017 GTI S last week.

 

hey congrats on your GTI!

thanks, i usually keep my cars 4-6 yrs depending on how much i like them and how reliable they are. some cars that i only drive on weekends i keep longer.

 

alright on the menu today.. grind and going out for some Japanese after work. thatz about all. too tired from the furniture and shelves assembly over the weekend. haha

 

It is 1 AM, do you know what your mike410b is up to?

 

Thanks! I will have fun going through your blog and checking out all the cool things you've done with your GTI and R as inspiration.

I attached a picture from this past weekend.

 

mike u doing boot change at 1am?

brad nice ride! my R is white too and GTI is black.
i haven't done much on my GTI. mainly VMR springs, JB1, AEM intake, 034 dog bone insert, OZ wheels 19x8.5 ET47 with 7mm spacers on the rear with 235/35/19 S04's.. tint and clearbra. ..oh yah and DMaxton front splitter.

 

definitely get the ODB11 especially enabling you to completely turn off traction control. you can't do this with just holding down the traction control button.

i also have LED's in all the lamps too.

 

on the menu today.. got one big meeting in the am, and spooling up a report. and going home. not doing much with the car today, just going to relax. have a great Tues!

 

Just starting the job

I've had an NSX-R shift boot sitting around for a year and a half...may as well toss it in. I'm trying to sort out some small details on the car before this weekend; going to see some friends who haven't seen the thing in person yet so I want it to be as good as it can be.
