I went to a couple bone yards looking for 16 pin connectors for mirror. @ yards and either one had any Mirrors or connectors ended up getting a 6 pin and striped the pins out of that. Now have to figure out what pin is for dimming

FINALLY got to do some work on Streak. The hybrid MF/SP exhaust is out and a new SP system is going in. PICS in another post soon. Also swapped to even heavier springs.

Nothing to the Kappa this week, didn't even take the cover off and it is going to be 60 today.  Saturday went to Scott's (2k) and installed two (yes 2) radios in the Xterra, one is for the Frontier when I get it back.

Sunday, I went to the hobby shop on base and changed the oil and rotated the tires on the wife's Civic, then changed the oil on the Xterra, got it up in the air pulled the wheels checked all the bearings, brakes, and took a tour underneath to make sure there weren't any suprises.  Fixed a fog light that was loose and pointed at the sky.  I am almost ready to trade vehicles, just got to get the windows tinted and I am done.

Then I cleaned my fish tank.

Was out of town and missed 60 degree weather in the NorthEast... Ahhhh!!!  Worked on buying stripes package and waiting (impatiently) for the Door sills and v2 WR to arrive.

Today will be a was and wax. It is 60 again.

Picked up my HHR mirror and a few electrical bits today. Can't wait 'till I get the cover off her so I can do some of these mods that I have piling up. She's so close to the side of the garage right now I wouldn't be able to get the door open to access the fuse panel.  :(

Washed my Sky - woohoo - drove it today with top down and seat heaters burning my butt. 

Installed my LED bulbs in my mirror and license plate. 

Fixed silly bug with my HIDs that caused the car to not start - oops. 

Tied up and hid some loose wires from my under hood LED project. 

Fixed a bug with my Raintracker wiper system (love it). 

Tried to adjust and then broke my red LED strip tied to my brakes for my custom windscreen - off to track auto tomorrow...

Hooked up and configured my 7" touchscreen for my car pc project - got it running on Windows 7.  Downloaded and installed Centrafuse to create a front end for the nav system and audio/video components.  Got the USB displaylink beta drivers to work.

Did all this between 7 and 10 pm...

Tomorrow night and Weds night - Cub Scouts, Thurs & Fri nights - wife - may get more car time this weekend...

That they do GJ that they do.

Drove mine to work today, first time I have driven it, except to wash it since Feb 4th before the snows.  Forgot I even have heated seats, I could have had the top down this morning.  Will later today

Adjusted my top on the passenger side to stop catching/rubbing on the window. Then decided to do the Blinker Mod (Joe's), easy little project and I like it so much more now. Wash and wax was in order followed with an afternoon long cruise with the low heat on until the sun went down...

It is nice to be able to enjoy the car again, if even for only one day.

Upcoming in the next few days... Re-wash and wax, along with installation of the twin rally strips to the whole car. That will definitely be a work in progress, just in time for some bad weather. Yeah for a garage.

Went to lunch and home yesterday with the top down and went in to work this morning with the top still down (couldn't bear to put it up in the garage) with a lite fleece jacket on because I wanted to hear what the Solo High Flow Cat and Mach shorty Cat Back sounded like some more.  I love it...

Drove home yesterday with the top down, then noticed a puddle of radiator fluid under the car. It's wet on top of the water pump and dripping.  Temp is still ok, I've been topping the reservoir off for months.  First visable sign of a leak though.  :(  Water pump woes.  Today I scheduled the maintenance for tomorrow morning.
