The birds crap on my FiST "daily" that's how I can tell that it's spring! Maybe it's just in my head. But, swear i could hear the body seams rusting on my FiST as i wiped it down from the first wash this year.

Ahhh the bird crap is just heartbreaking. Especially right after a wash

Happy to see my bird-crap defender on the car this morning.

Went to a vegan restaurant, got a tune revision from my tuner, and installed the LED hi beams.

Which LEDs you install? Any issues?

I was hesitant at first, but they didn't move or stop working. The stock light plugs into a little clip. I just stuck the tabs where they looked like they should go, and they worked. I'll check my work again tonight after dark.

That looks pretty nice. Looking forward to the nighttime pic. How was the food?

Yummy. I could only eat half of it, so I got a twofer. I'll get some pics tonight.

Some people on the ST forum are seeing rust on some of the seams. The paint is pretty crappy overall, but it looks like some cars weren't properly prepped for paint in Cuautitlan.
I got lucky. No rust on the seams or the underside. My rust is just around the antenna, which is crooked anyway. That probably doesn't help. Gonna have to address that, eventually.

Wish I could get LED brights

Anyone have a link for hood struts?

I didn't align them right. I'll try again tomorrow, and fiddle with the mounting, too.
I took out and remounted the airbox, too. Had to reroute the intake hose, and I couldn't get it without pulling it out first.
On my second revision on the new tune. The low end torque is phenomenal. Better than the OTS mountune.
Once I fix the hi beams and get the tune dialed in, I'll be done. The ultimate DD.

Installed the interior LEDs that were linked here somewhere. Love how bright they are. Thinking about pulling the trigger on the sequential flashers everyone raves about lol

I found with the low beams there was only one way they aligned of the three possible rotations. The blade needs to be vertical. Assuming the highs need the same rotation.

This guy does a lot of tuning for rally teams. I chose the conservative 93 octane tune. Very happy with it.

That's one of the best mods for the buck, ever. I have those in my license plate lights and the front side markers, too.


Put some foil in the rear center light for a little more backseat light.
