You can use claybar to get anything off the paint surface and rewax. I suggest some Meguiars wax because even if you let it sit too long, you can still wipe it off and not get swirls.

 

Awesome! Thanks for the input. I'll pick me up a Claybar while I'm out getting my window visors installed Thursday. I swear cleaning a car is a science that I will hopefully get down in the near future lol.

 

Fellas looks like its just gonna be lil ole me at our meeting on sunday.

 

FML!!!
Well here is a very strange problem that has been the first to happen to me.
My car broke down...
soon after getting it towed I started looking around in the engine bay to see what might have had cause the car to pit pat to a halt. The sound of no headers to go along with the lack of power to the engine made me look all over the place until my battle came out and helped me locate the source of the sound, he raises his head and give me the "Cut it" sign like if the car was going to blow up.
I reached back behind the engine to feel a little heavy chuck of something, I unhooked the plug and pulled it out.
The damn spark plug and coil pack shot out from the motor! WTF!!!!??? so I have the top part of a coil pack sitting in my room right now. I am in knee deep crap with my Sgt because he doesn't believe that my car broke down and I was trying to get a free day. So I got to bring that in with pictures as well of the back side of the engine. If you wanna see them follow me on Instagram: CustomFitOwner09 is my User.

I thought I would share my crap day with you guys. Does anyone know how this could have happened? One guy said that this kind of thing only happens on boosted cars because of the compression. Is this true? I'm not boosted. So I am puzzled on how it could have happened. I a getting prepared for the worst but I am hoping that I can just buy a new coil pack and spark plug and see if the threading isn't jacked up. I am praying it's not and that the spark plug was just loose and over time unscrewed itself until today when I tried overtaking someone and lost acceleration and ran into a ditch.
Give me some suggestions or ideas on what to do or what I should do please. Much appreciated.
CFO, out!

 

All good, looks like possible chance of rain coming this weekend. It's still going to go on rain or shine. I just hope the rain is leaving by the time we start to get some cool weather.

 

My forecast is showing a nice cloudy day with highs in the 90s for Sunday. Even more exciting is the fact that there are no 100+ degree days aside from tomorrow in our 2-week outlook! Could this be the end of the scorching summer? I sure hope so!

 

Yeah I'm done with this heat. Today felt nice driving in the cool morning. I should be able to make it this Sunday. Stopping by Gun Barrel City to pick up a sway bar first, maybe you guys can help me mount it on at the meet lol.

That hurts

haha! might still bring my midget!

Am I being included in said pictures happening this sunday? if so i should wash the Fit.

 

I need to know aswell. I had already planned on stripping and rewaxing Khaleesi this weekend but with work and the storms its gonna be a tight schedule.

 

Don't worry, you really won't be alone lol. Yeah, everyone should be in the pictures. I'll probably be taking some, and I'm sure Bluecell will with his sick camera lol.

Last year was fun, but so damn hot in Houston: https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...ic-thread.html

 

well she is all stocky thats why i ask haha

 

I think you will be fine. Aside from Sr Intake and minor exterior mods Khaleesi is pretty much stock. I mean I still have base wheels with caps on lol.

 

Lol ok I was just curious - she has never had pictures of her taken before haha.

Now I'm trying to pawn my 2 year old off on someone lol

 

Last year was fun, I was tired though. I only took pics of the go-kart event and some night shots at Jason's house. I remember at MSR I was walking up the stairs and someone said my name. Thinking in my head, who's talkin crap? lol. I absolutely hate the heat. Great thing this weekend will be cool enough to enjoy.

 

Hey, are we all meeting up at Stanley's BBQ for 4 PM or will we be meeting up and heading there? Might arrive in Tyler a bit before the meet's starting time.

Twas just a bit... toasty last year.

^^ LOL nice.

 

we can meet at Ana's house so she can wash my car too >

 

I'm kind of curious... How do you guys get away with not having front plates? I've thought of taking mine off but with my luck, first day I'd get pulled over and fined.

 

Rumor has it that the state law messed up this year and does not require a front license plate until Jan of 2013. With that said, I still don't take chances and leave mine on. It looks weird without it on my JDM front. You can do what most other people do and relocate the plate to make it more stylish.

 

^^ Indeed. We are still supposed to run front plates however whenever the law was revised any fines were omitted. So until then you should just get a warning until this January for running no front plate.

Edit: On the other hand, if you were to run some sort of vanity plate such as a LSU plate up front, you could still be fined up to $200 if memory serves me right.
