TOOL- hahaha, no i dont like toyota's even if they are Lexus.
and im not much of a sedan guy... it's either boxy shape or a
2 door coupe... but since i got the Z recently im looking for a
wagon. the other issue is the IS350 being RWD. i dont like
running skinny snow tires on nice looking cars... if that was ok,
i would probably consider dropping my G to dd status and
drive it all year long as dd...but then again the FitS offers
so much more when it comes to dd.

my ideal car (wagon) would be like a A4 with 6MT...but no such
thing in the US. only AT. same goes with the R32 wagon 6MT.
no such thing.

the other wagons are too similar to the FitS...so it's really not
worth replacing to me. they dont offer something GREAT over
and beyond the FitS. (like MS3, Clubman, ElementSC, etc).

i'd really like to have a MT car as my dd. i suppose if i letgo the
'sedan' portion i could consider something like a CivicSI 4dr...
but i keep hearing all these quirks about its tranny.

 

On the drive home in the rain, almost got run over by a redneck pickup truck not checking its blind spot while switching lanes.

Thanks to my quick reflex and great grip from the Fuzion tires my car slowed down allowing the idiot from missing me by a few inches. If i was still on the garbage Falken tires probably got hit in the same spot again. hahahaha

 

sell g outright and use money for a greddy twin turbo kit

 

yah, im definitely sure i dont want to sell the G right out. and i prefer the FitS being NA...
i never thought the FitS was that slow. but thanks for the suggestion.

went to the mall today in my FitS. it did great carrying back loads of stuff my wife
bought... and i guess the best part for me is that i dont have to worry about the
car while parked. i mean i see people parking their nice cars far out on the other side
of the parking lot...hahaha that is just sad.

 

haha i meant tt the z

 

The Z's already fast enough for street, no need for FI. I also took off the intake as I'm done with noise. Don't want the engine loud when I punch it. So all my cars are now running stock boxes.

Got done breaking in the z this am. . so far I really like it. Good power, sound, sus feels good, drives real nice, looks great. I'm also liking the HU I installed.

The only quirk is its big sidemirrors where it blocks a lot of my view when making left hand turns. Ill get a craftssquare mirror when they release one for the z34.

The auto-rev match is ok for fast braking but for normal driving I can heel and toe smoother so I have it turned off.

motored my G this pm and got frikken rained on so hosed down the wheels and lower panels when I got home (still raining) and used Griot's SprayOn CarWash along with my other tools to clean the car in the garage.

3pc wheels are a biotch to clean and wipe dry even with all the detailing tools I have.
Going to use my blower later to do a final drying and clean off the wheel wells on both my G and Z. All sorts of leaves and crappage stuck in there from motoring the forest.

That's about all for today.

 

sold the intakes for the Z. but noticed i misplaced the brackets for the headsheild after the sale. so now i need to get a pair from JWT. i didnt use the heatshields cause it requires you to drill a hole in the plastic core above the radiator.... was like humm.... naw. and i must have thrown it away or something. hahaha. looked all over for it.

as for my FitS, still running strong. wish it would sunny up a bit so that i can wash all the leaves off of it. got so much crappage in the side sills and rear bumper valance.

 

i want pics of the g! i don't think i've seen it

 

really? it's been in my albums page for a while.

so it looks like im going to be removing the megan axle back pretty soon from my FitS... and putting it up on the ad for a shipped price of $145, then provide the buyer refund if the freight is less.

it is $100 if locally picked up. thing is pretty big and heavy so not sure how much freight is going to cost for the 48states...

 

looks clean!

 

thanks. yah, i didn't want to overdue the car. id like to get a nice HU for it but not sure yet...

in other FitS news...
was hoping it would stop raining so i could remove the axleback, but not tonight... not pouring but dont feel like going under the car with worms hanging 2" from my face. hahaha.

wat was that story where some kid ate like worms? forgot the name of the title...

 

Why getting rid of the exhuast? Wanting silence? heh

 

yah, im tired of noise when i hit the gas. i want to hit it to redline without sounding like it's going to blow up. nono, the megan's not THAT loud but i just want to be quiet so that i can enjoy my stereo more.

 

so today it's sunny so im going to swap out the megan and put my
stock exhaust back on.

i think im also going to put the stock shift knob back on as well...
im tired of COLD hands in the morning. hahahaha. im at a
point where it's not cold enough to wear gloves but that knob is
frikken cold.

 

i read back my previous posts and man.. im really starting to sound like some old whining fart...

too noisy
too rainy
too wormy
too cold

hahaha

 

Hahaha all of kens cars are going to be stock pretty soon!

 

oh noes~! hahahaha... not stock, but close to stock?

 

ordered up a fresh intake port tubing for my Z... when i did the intake install i had to mill off about 1/4" off the lip of the inlet duct. now that i have the stock box, i want a full seal again.

going to order up a HKS drop-in filter.

 

crap, it's raining again... lol

my old fartism starts... too cold too rainy too wormy...
