yeah, earlier this week, I was informed that my rear window stops were missing, so I dug them out of the bolts bucket the body shop gave me and put them in the door. The fronts are where they are from factory as the body shop didn't remove those and the rears are sitting at the highest position on both sides. The window is also sitting at the highest spot on the window rail. :\ Passenger side is perfect though. Driver's side is the only PITA. I heard having the DTS tool or whatever helps with guiding and adjusting the windows. I don't own one, so I'm just eyeballing the sumbitch.

I'm excited, for the first time ever at night I won't have to grasp along the door to the find the lock and guide the key in. That or have to fumble with keys when it's raining or my arms are full, it's fantastic.

Today I had a thought to myself, is Ford going to make more money off of the publicity of the Ford GT than it does for the Ford GT's that are build? I guess my question really is, I wonder if Ford get's a share of the profit when I buy Forza 6 Ultimate...?

Hatch struts are so nice to have working, no getting clunked in the head! Windex misted through the cowl with the blower on high works great to deodorize the HVAC system in the car. It'll get ammonia and fragrances around in the nooks n crannies. Rubbing alcohol and water 50/50 does a good job too but stinks worse.

Indeed, now it pops open and lifts itself. Normally I use Lysol through the cowl ducts since it'll kill all the bad smells for cheap, but brother had used the Meguiar's and even after three weeks you could still smell it so decided why not. It's like a bug bomb, place it centrally in the car with max blower speed on recirculate then pull the pin and close the door for 15 minutes. That and they smell really good.

Hmmmmmm...my Mazda sorry smells like an old stale house. I may need to buy one! What's the fragrance like? I'm sensitive to strong perfumes, some ladies perfumes, mens colognes, and car fresheners trigger migraines for me.

I'm sensitive to perfumes and colognes as well, so far I haven't had any issues with the one my brother used but I haven't had the chance to be in mine since doing it. They have at least three scents I know of, my brother used the new car scent and it's just a clean smell if that makes any sense. The one I went with is sweet summer breeze and it seems to have a strong floral/candy scent to it, I'm not sure on it but will report back after being in it tomorrow. The last is spiced wood which haven't tried but from the scratch and sniff it's as described, reminds me of cedar.

I'm sure it helps the rigidity of the car but I'm just not sold on it. The current generation of low horsepower, great handling cars just doesn't appeal to me.

The current generation of low horsepower, great handling cars just doesn't appeal to me. sounds like someone doesn't know how to drive. -__- ------------------------------------------------------------- So this happened over the weekend:  I initially ordered the Hong Kong Special Hypeman S4 coilovers from China to match my Hong Kong Special 4" Tin exhaust system, but I guess the order got mixed up and got these instead. I guess these'll do for now.     Hover Supra Conversion in progress:  Should be able to stick it to those motorized skateboards. Got her buttoned up and it was time for a bath.     Clean as a whistle.  Put about 60 miles on the coilovers so far straight out of the box and they feel fantastic so far, but really, anything other than my previous set-up would've been fantastic. lol Taking her to work with me for the rest of the week to let the springs settle, readjusting the ride height over the weekend, and taking her in for an alignment on Monday.

Yesterday, I got around to replacing the coolant overflow tank with something a bit more proper.
 About the only Honda part that will be found in this car. lol Overflow tank from an 8th gen Civic. -------------------- -Alex {](O_o)[}
