sounds like u got a bunch of stuff to do, shinjari! hope u get that back ordered part on monday. sucks dat u couldnt get it before the weekend.


sometimes stores use dat bogus fedex smartpost which take FOREVER to arrive. i hate it wen dey do dat. like if they used ups it would arrive the next business day but no.. i needs to go much mucH much SROWER! lol

 

ended up going chinese. dim sum sooooo good. time for nap

 

Yeah the part is in transit and they do priority 2-day so thats nice.

Looking forward to the install on a weeknight...or weekend. Should take about an hour. Maybe i should order a panel removal tool kit so I don't mar my interior.

Washed and vacuumed both miata and civic. nice overcast day for it. Ran some errands. Gonna play some video games for a bit...then maybe back to garage to work on chairs or backyard. MAYBE haha.

And of course when I need to get the miata Smogged...that stupid intermittent CEL popped up today. Gotta make sure it goes away before I can pass smog...so annoying. Glad I didnt try to get it done today. Would've been a waste of time.

 

sounds good. yah overcast skies are perfect for washing cars.

GL on the smog check! i remember in CA they put ur cars on the roller and actually let the car speed up like kinda on a dyno.

 

took da GK out to run my pm errrand. fak dis car is stupid srow! and horrible brakes. lol. not dat it is any surprise.

 

Nah 2000+ model years they just plug into the OBD2 to check that everything is 'good'. No more sniffer or dyno.

 

ahhh, probably cause my car was a late 90's car they did the dyno. mang dat was 2 decades ago i lived in socal! too too too too long mang.. i cant wait to move back.

alright, got home, did a few house chores. prepped my bicycle for tomorrow's run. going to take it easy rest of day.

 

hummm... seems like the new DSG-R's 7sp is having map issues.. wat it is with german cars mang, always a hit or miss and more and more DSG people are reporting issues (6sp is fine btw)..

 

alright motored my R this am and had a good time. so smooth, so relaxing, so easy to go fast.

pulled out my griot's waterless wash (spray on car wash) and first cleaned the dirty part of the car and den went over the entire car with qd (speed shine) afterwards. the new towels i got from autogeek are fantastic, no lint. i shouldnt even be excited as dat is how it supposed to be all the time. just stay away from griot's mf towels. their older sets were very good but the recent ones lint like hell.

i got the gray chinlada or chichilla or chingaro or chihuahua or watever it's called at autogeek. not super expensive, yet very good quality. will try on my black GTI in the future to see if it hazes or not. shouldnt though per the great reviews on the towels.

 

mmmmmm.. while my kids are out playing and my wife exercising, im in my music room munching away at a bag of ebisen hot garlic. so good.

time for some pepsi zero

speaking of munching away.. my ant bait seems to be working, but i wanted to accelerate the pace so got some TERRO ant gel and put some in a lid and bottle cap.

wow, ants luv the thing. i poured one pouch yesterday late pm and it's all gone! poured another pouch dis am and put a "Free Take Home" sign next to da dish hope the queen luvs the special take out too.

 

alright no biz trip dis week, should be a quick and easy week.
then next week i am off Mon, Tue, Wed .

have a good monday everyone!

 

Sitting at my desk. Can't focus. HFP skirts being installed this morning.

It's like trying to sleep on Christmas Eve when you're 8.

 

lol sounds exciting!!

 

Happy Monday!

Expecting the last of my Acuity Instruments parts today for my Shifter upgrades. They did announce their FULL shifter replacement (can adjust throw, gate spacing, knob height etc)...but that's $400+...not sure I need something that fancy for a DD.

Apparently they make stuff for the GK with manual trans as well so thats cool.

 

sounds cool! but the honda MT shifter is arguably the best in the world.. does one need something even better..(?)

i mean the GD and GE’s shift knobs were garbage so dat needed to go but the shifter itself was pretty good.

 

so i hear vw totally destroyed pikes peak with new e race car..

 

They are pretty good, but can be improved by replacing the very compliant bushings and sloppy plastic parts which is what I'm doing.

A full shifter would basically take all the bolt ons I'm doing and give more adjustability. Plus its full metal vs the plastic so you'd expect things to be nice and rigid.

 

I'm looking forward to the Porsche mission-E...i refuse to say its proclaimed name...Tayc....

 

You guys have an opinion on Fram Ultra vs Mobil 1 oil filters? Seem to cost about the same. But its either you love one and hate the other. Lol.

Never had any issues with either.
