Roach 05-10-2013 10:10 AM

To clean the leather, the products used were 1Z einszett Plastic Deep Cleaner and an Uber Ultra Interior Brush on my Porter Cable 7424. Wiped up with a clean terry cloth. It's important to keep the Porter Cable at a very low speed - I used speed 1. Very quick process but it sure beats using elbow grease.

And if you guys decide to order the above products from Detailer's Domain, they are having a pre-memorial day sale - 15% off and $8.88 flat shipping over $50. Code is PREMEM. Ends on May 13th.

Low Beam HIDs!!

inb4 OMG RICER GLARE CIVIC RICHMOND: They are in projectors, which in Japan were fitted with factory HIDs. I have already aimed them properly in the vertical sense, but then the rain came so horizontal wise they are off to the left (remember, I'm on the wrong side of the road so they are aimed at the sidewalk). Horizontal aiming to come tomorrow.

Stuff I've done over the past couple of weeks.

This is how she sat 2 weeks ago (fisting action in the wheel wells was possible on all 4 corners)

Then these guys went in

Tanabe USA Inc. - DF210 Dress-Up Form Springs

And now she sits about 2" lower than she previously did (although the box stated a 1.5" drop)

Waiting a couple of weeks for things to settle and will get an alignment done then.
