    He brought it home in the bed of his 3/4 ton Chevy. It's actually smaller than his mule. As for new engines in the Kia, personally I think It'd be neat with a little diesel engine.


    On the subject of things fitting in truck beds, I learned a Samurai fits in an long bed pickup after my buddy blew up his Sammy on the interstate and I had to go rescue him.

    Proof.

    It's 75 here. I heard treefrogs last night. It's not right. It's fucked up. It's February. I hate going into spring without a decent winter.

    Fixed the cupholder. It was sticking shut (its one of those pop out from dash ones).
    Simple fix. Removed it from car to discover oh, someones spilled a drink all over it at some point most likely, probably coffee or something, its all dried inside, gotten dust and gunk built up in it, pretty grim. It cleaned right up though and is working flawlessly.

    I Armor All-ed the interior of the Focus and just over all scrubbed the plastic parts of the interior top to bottom and the cigarette smell has gone away. Had to be a centimeter of dust over every surface of the interior. Was really nasty actually.

    Still haven't washed the exterior since I bought it. One step at a time. I might try and rattle can it this summer.

    Took the front seats out of my RSX to do some cleaning and prep work for some rails for the Bride seats I ordered, figuring out how I'm going to mount my harnesses and such, gonna run the stock seatbelt for a little bit before doing harnesses. Was a bitch to disconnect the Airbags built into the sides of the seats. Didn't bother plugging them back in, I have a SRS light on the dash now but at this point could care less I'd rather not have the "Death Curtains" that RSX owners call the seat airbags. Also got a couple parts come in the mail today. My S2000 Digital gauge cluster arrived and that will be going in my RSX soon, when I feel like soldering and all that jazz, nice that Honda made it so the S2000 Cluster and the RSX cluster fit in both cars, K-Tuned Race Headers came in today also and I will install that tomorrow. Should be interesting to hear how it sounds running Catless and straight through from the race headers since it is already Cat-back straight piped. After that just waiting on my Hondata K-Pro to show up. Which will give me settings to edit my Rev limiter, get a launch control setting set in, adjust the idle RPM, and adjust the VTEC RPM Engagement.

    Niiiiice. I'm running catless with a PLM race header into a 2.5 inch all the way back to a vibrant muffler. Im also using a hondata, already made a big difference running a slightly modified basemap intended for a b18c1 gsr motor. Vtec was moved from 6200 to 5200. 2 step at 4800. I would really like to talk you into ordering a wideband and wiring it to the k pro. The k20a2 will Make serious gains with what you have alone with a solid tune unlike the b16b which is much closer to being tapped out from the factory. I'm seriously considering starting my first thread or group for engine tuning help and advice if anyone else would be remotely interested in something like that. S2k cluster is sick, just can't part with my 99-00 crv cluster that only reads to 8k.

    One of Mom's coworkers has a Z06. I got to go for a ride in it once. Since that day I became a huge Corvette fan. It's incredible how fast those are

    So I didn't do anything to my BMW these past few days, but for my dad's jeep, we decided to use it for a film project. And this is how it went.

    Exactly. As. Planned.

    Gave it a rev,

    Also helped my dad lower the rear springs but cutting out a coil which lowered it about 1 inch.
    Day before I removed these things which to my knowledge do not even have a purpose and spray painted the inside matte black to give a more stealthy look.

    To those with a keen eye you may also be able to spot something else.

    Did you remove the sticker on the windshield?
    Or is it the "P"?
