old cars can have pass & luxury cars, Hondas just don't look right at all. motorcycles like choppers that's on them. I'm a sports bike person, at the moment I have a 91 Yamaha FZR1000.

I love chrome on cruisers, but I'll be damned if it isn't a ton of work to keep looking good. I used to spend just as much time detailing my bike as I did my car.

Got my eibach sways installed and my billet pro short shifter and cable bushings.made a very nice improvement with the body roll and the short shifter is now the coolest mod I've done,the throw is ridiculously short now and nice and low like I like it.i smiled all the way home! Well worth every penny I spent.

I got in trouble with my apt complex for washing my car. Not really in trouble but a nosy neighbor called the office to complain that I was "spraying a hose everywhere!" Funny thing is I was only doing an ONR wash.

One bucket.

No Rinse.

No hose.

4 gallons of water total.

Pretty funny when the office manager showed up and couldnt figure out what was going on. They seemed interested in the product though! Almost sold them a wash/wax on the spot. Only $25!

I'm thinking I may have figured out what's causing my terrible exhaust rattle. Not from getting back under and checking everything out lol (still haven't been able to) but from a few things I've read.

I'm thinking it may be the spring bolts (same ones that connected stock axleback) that I used to connect my test pipe to the rest of the header. I'm guessing I either have them too loose or too tight. I'm gonna also try taking them off and cleaning them with a wire brush. And if all else fails, I'm just going to take the springs off all together. I'm crossing my fingers on this one.

It also makes sense that it's them because the noise only happens when the car is under load.

Plus, if it's too tight it defeats the purpose. The spring is supposed to have room to flex. It's a possibility I have it too loose though.

I hope to get under there and check everything out this weekend.

That's what I'm thinking.

I'm not gonna get my hopes up too much though.. cause it could easily be something else lol
