ya see, beauty of coilovers shuts everyone up.

 

ok, so got bored and did my sunstrip cause i was tired of sun shining into
my face between the visor and rearview mirror.

tint used: static cling type. removable, no adhesive.

tools: (btw, you MUST use clarity, otherwise you will fail the entire project. )


here are the steps. no narration needed.... took 1hr.

 

Perhaps, what brand ok coilovers?

So your going to slam the FitS, pictures in OT perhaps.

this is a japanese brand... the build quality appears top notch.
cant wait to install them on sun.

 

btw, that sunstrip is on the inside of the glass, ofcourse.

 

Really nice job - looks good. I'd put one on my car to further hide my V1... but on a cabrio, it's kinda goofy...

 

Sun strip looks great Ken

thanks guys.

 

my MCS was sitting outside in flurries yesterday all day while my
other car was getting surgery in the garage. now i got spots all over
the paint.

i think im going to downgrade this car to commuter status now and
take it to work once the salt is gone. be kinda fun to take the
MCS during nicer days, FitS on stormy hailing days.

 

Welcome to my world.

 

yah, i think im going to drive him more now that spring is almost
here.

just need one nice rainy day to wash off all the roadsalt from the roads.

 

That poor MCS wants to see some ACTION.... so man up and get him dirty...

 

yah, but salt is so dirtifying....

got my FitS washed at the touchless. nice and sort of cleanish...

 

ordered my 1/2" drive ratchet with long handle from Facom.

finally i can toss the last of my pos line of sears tools into my house chest.
sears has great tools to pos tools... and i happened to have a lot of their
pos ones since i was poor. wait, im still poor. wtf am i talking about?

ok, back to work.

 

also ordered griot's thread restorer.

need to find an easy out handle thingie...

 

also ordered a milwaukee close quarter 3/8" drill.

 

Bath time for the MINIs

im thinking about doing something real crazy this week....

like take the MCS to work.

 

OK, ken. Hand me your keys and back away from the MCS slowly. Here, let's try this jacket on you - oh, I know it looks a little strange, but it's all the rage in the Japanese tuner circles these days. No, trust me, it's VERY comfortable. What? Yes, of course I treated it with fabric guard already. Mmmm hmmm.... yeah, I know, if Griots made these buckles, they'd be chromed better. Yeah. Be still... this goes easier if you don't struggle.

 

Wrap him up and sit him in front of a bird sitting over his MINI. Kind of like waterborading without the water.

 

so you don't want me to take the MCS to work?
now i am confused... chrome door handles are nice.

yikes... now i DONT want to take my car to work.
humm... planB..

 

man, those screw extractors are pretty expensive. mine has 4 bits
and it was $40... also got drill shank 3/8" drive adapter.

 

Can we close this thread in 10 days?

 

not until each one of us can wash their cars consecutively 5 times.
then the thread shall hibernate for summer.

 

Fair enuf.
