thats awsome man, great to see you build something differant im tired of seeing all the same cars! gotta keep up the good work!

 

Pictures or it never happened !! hahahaha... just kidding, but no. I want pictures... and solving the rubbing issues

 

okay guys! Picked up all my paint and other needed material from my grandpa over the weekend. My grandpa is the southern PPG distributor so I have a hook up. haha I got to start sanding on the interior today maybe, just as long as I'm done before this Saturday. I took off work Friday so I could dedicate a whole day to paint prep. then going to my dad's shop Saturday and painting teh fit. wish me luck! gonna be HAWT outside.

 

Oh dude.... You'll have to take off a few more days to recover if it is as hot as it has been... It rained pretty good here last night and it is going to be a steamy bitch for a few days once the cloud cover burns off and the sun is out again... Definitely flashback conditions for old guys like me.

 

you know, I was just thinking that Dee. It felt amazing after it rained yesterday and was over casted. I was going to sand yesterday, or at least start on it, but i was too lazy so I just install my odysey PC680 and PWJDM battery relocate kit. Looks good. I need to get a better pic though. thing is sooooo small in person.

Right now it feels great outside. To me that is, because I work in an arctic server room condition all day at 60° frozenface.jpg

Going to drink some coffee and see if I can get motivated to do it today after work.

 

I just finished a pot of coffee and now I'm too wired to attempt anything.... I'm going to have to replace and relocate a small battery to my car... I don't have room for an oil catch can, 7" fan for the intercooler and I need to move it over a tad to be able to put the jet for the water/methanol injector between the IAT and throttle body.... I may have to force myself to go to town for a six pack and get after some of this stuff.

 

haha Dee you always makes me lol.

heres a before and shitty after pic.

AFTER

 

I see... That would work for what I need to do... Hmmmm.

 

i just wanted to clear some room for the K series and the intake area. figure more room the better. i can also put the bracket/ battery inside the car. either way, im prepared. Ill try to get a better pic.

 

i have one of those batterys. they last forever even all through the winter up here. had mine since the day i bought the fit on valentine's day 08

 

That's cool that you got your car on my 58th birthday... I think I was laid back in bed on the cardiac ECU in Temple that day. Great memories.

 

Oh TC... Good times!!

 

my odysey dint do very well over the winter here. I loved how small and light it was but the winter killed it.

 

I'm in MN as well and I stored my fit all winter (Nov-Mar). I expected the battery would die over the winter from not being periodically cranked, so I bought a spare. I put the dead on a Odyssey trickle charger and it's good as new now. I got the PC680, did you happen to get the PC540?

Having a spare drycell on the trickle charger is a wise investment "just in case."

 

Anything wild on the paint front or keeping it the same? If I was able to have a track-dedicated, I would have to do something up.

 

few quick shots to share before i completely put her back together

the ENTIRE interior has been repainted storm silver metalic. enjoy!

10 hours of sanding and removing sticky stuff (by only me and my girlfriend ^_^), 4 hours of masking/ taping, 2 hours of priming/sealing & painting (me and my father), 4 hours of drying.
