Fuel Eco Graphs

I have a heavy foot! The more mods that went on the more fun I had and the more petrol I used. #science

Here is my 2012 Complete graph. I put the pricing I paid per US Gallon to show trends. Fuel prices go down in the winter here in Texas.

Here is my 2013 YTD. The supercharger had an immediate and noticeable impact on fuel economy. The one time I got 24.11 was when I did almost all highway driving on that tank. I would say I would average 21mpg with the supercharger on my normal commute. The last bullet point shows my economy going up as a result of temporarily switching back to NA. Prices are going back up

Pre Cars and Coffee

Trolled some people by saying I put in a hybrid supercharger. Juicing up before the meet!

Meguiars NXT Tech Wax 2.0 and new tails

I got my cousin all into detailing when he got his Accord. He convinced me to put a layer of Meguiars NXT Tech Wax 2.0 on my car. It's a paste wax that we laid on my hand. I already had a layer of sealant on my car so the wax made everything pop.

I also bought @Do Boy's redded stock tails. They look very good.

Lola's Song

Nothing too fancy like a driving clip or time at the track; just a quick clip of the full exhaust

Removing the tails is very easy. Flathead screwdriver is used to take off 3-4 clips, then peel the carpet back. After you undo one plug, you need an 8mm deep socket/pass through ratchet to take off the 4 nuts. Just be careful not to overtorque them otherwise they crack and you get condensation

DCW Carbon Fiber Insert

Had these a while but never posted about them. I bought this because i can personalize the message. This is probably too many pictures for a piece of CF. it stays in place; actually it is kind of hard to lift it out of place.

Thanks @doggy

Time-travelling through my backlog

One of the perils of post processing photos is the backlog. Leave it too long and it gets too daunting to tackle. I decided to just attack it tonight. Found these:

Heading to a 86 project site and saw this. Had to stop

Mini meetup

I love hanging out with the other 86 enthusiasts and talking cars. While we were waiting I did a mini spread on a fellow Raven FR-S with spyder clear tails.

Rest of the pictures on flickr.

The Retrofit Source Morimoto Retroquik HID system and Morimoto XBALED Angel Eyes

Spent today fixing a bunch of little issues with my car, and putting in XBALED Halos and the Retroquik HID system. I took some detailed pictures for anyone who wants to see the parts up close

The wiring itself is custom and made by another Houston member. Thanks Tim! Here is the functionality of the system:
+ DRL: The Halos turn on and stay on as soon as you start the car and put the parking brake down. DRLs, parking lights, low beams, high beams...the Halos are always on.
+ There is an additional relay added to the Retroquik system that keeps the solenoid from holding the metal flap down when the DRLs are running and the headlights are off. This additional circuit prevents premature failure of the solenoid as it doesn't have to work all the time. The retroquik is a bi-xenon system: The metal flap flips up to block the output creating a lowbeam. When the solenoid pulls it down a highbeam is made.
