    and were settled in Dallas. We already had a HB car in the family, so a fun coupe was OK. Still, at the time the 810 was our main car, and we did a number of x-country trips (to NY, FL, CO, etc) in it. Of course, we were much younger then!

    Fantastic Red XT pics !!!

    a quick question on the Chrome tips to your exhaust. Do you have to modify the ends so the Chrome tips fit in or did the Chrome tips make it in without any modification ?

    I would like to know where you bought the Chrome tip from & which one it is.

    I was going to make a smart aleck remark about the blue cap covering his bump so no one would notice, but I'll let one of the Crew do that. :P

    Hope you and the family had a great time! What am I saying? It's Disney...of course you had a great time!

    actually came off during my ride on Splash Mountain...I was very sad :( . Will probably get another one eventually. The day we shot this photo, it was in the forties in Disney...cold even by Florida standards for daytime.

    P.S. You guys crack me up!!! :shades: :)

    Thanks!

    No mods required at all. The tips fit right over top the exhaust pipe.

    Bought at Canadian Tire. If I recall, I bought the 3" , angle-ended tip. I'll have to check the diameter when I get home. They were about $20 each I believe.

    In retrospect, I should have trimmed the muffler tip slightly in order to reduce the trajectory of the chrome tip...ie. so it was slightly more horizontal. But at the time, I was not in the mood to get under the car with a hack-saw.

    Cheers,
    Jay.

    Nice, long enough that you could fit 2 Mini Coopers. :)

    Was that roof there before? And your neighbor was OK with you building it up against his house? Is your house the one on the left?

    Turned out real nice. I like that big window.

    Juice I built it from scratch there was no roof. This is a Co-Op so the only property line is on the perimeter of the property . There is a 4" separation between the carport ant the house next door to conform to city fire regulations. BTW. the Titan really earned his keep on this project, most of the materials were transported either on the roof or inside the car.

    I will have to really give him a good clean in and out, I have been so busy I have not even got my summer wheels on yet.

    Cheers Pat.

    Interesting, that would never fly in my area.

    I've thought about putting some lattice on the side of mine so the wind dies down a bit. I end up getting leaves blown into my car port and back yard.

    Mine is open on 3 sides, 1 side is up against the house. The back has a 4" fence for the dog, but it's mostly open.

    I take it you can't make a garage out of it? It looks great though. Wanna come build a garage for me? :)

  • hondafriekhondafriek Member Posts: 2,984
    I could add a door I suppose but the width is limited enough. And no thank you, no more big projects I'm afraid, my rocky state of health says this one was more than enough.

    Cheers Pat.

    It's amazing Rita really loves this little car, it fits her like glove and she zips around in it.

    Cheers Pat.

    Nice Pat, how's she doing BTW?

    Bob are you asking about my daughter? Rita is my wife and she is fine Anne Marie our daughter is doing pretty well at the minute Thank God.Thanks for asking.

    Cheers Pat.

    Those little Mazda's were cute cars. And of course, it is "Pat Perfect"!

    Steve
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    As expected.

    You gotta work on getting your camera strap out of the picture, though. :P

    What is the name of that color? Those greens were popular in the 90s.

    I actually considered that car when I bought my '91 Escort GT. I didn't have an upgraded engine, though, so I went with the DOHC 1.8l in the Ford, which was actually a Mazda powertrain (from the Protoge). But I wanted a hatch and the Protoge only came as a sedan.

    Had Mazda put the DOHC 1.8l engine in that little hatchback I'd probably have owned one.

    More important, did you name the car?
  • hondafriekhondafriek Member Posts: 2,984
    When it comes to taking pics. Lord Snowdon I ain't LOL.
    The colour is Tropical Emerald, sounds exotic EH!. Apparently a lot of kids buy these little cars and the first swap is a DOHC swap. I hear it is a dead easy swap.

    Cheers Pat.
  • hondafriekhondafriek Member Posts: 2,984
    Rob it is affectionately named the wee car and that is it.

    Cheers Pat.
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    One generation prior to that one they had a DOHC turbo engine in the 323 GTX, a litte rally monster if you will. So I'm sure the platform is able.

    That's a light car so even with the 125hp DOHC 1.8l from the Protege it would have been fun. I think it got 106hp stock?

  • hondafriekhondafriek Member Posts: 2,984
    Even in standard form it is a fun little car to toss around, the thing is like a little go cart. The GTX swap is also big on these, they are being imported from Japan big time. There are all sorts of web sites devoted to hepping these little cars up.

    Cheers Pat.

    I just bought the OB XT Ltd. I checked the exhuast tip at canadian tire online, they don't have one. Can you pls tell me the brand, dimensions - inlet, outlet ? I really like yours. Any specifics you can provide would be helpful.

    Thanks Ken for the recommendation
  • kenskens Member Posts: 5,869
    You're welcome, but the images don't show up.

    BTW, did you also use the Sealant Glaze? Two coats of that on top of your AIO and the shine is just incredible. Rather than follow the printed instructions, try the WOWO method mentioned in the Autopia detailing forums. You simply wipe on the Sealant Glaze and wipe off before letting it dry.

    Ken
  • papaya1040papaya1040 Member Posts: 26
    Ken,

    I did AIOed and SGed but without WOW, had to look it up what it's all about, thanks

  • kenskens Member Posts: 5,869
    I can see the photos now. Great job with the detailing.

    Did you use one layer of SG? Many experienced Klasse buffs say that the real benefits show up after the 2nd coat. I tried it on my Legacy last week and lo and behold, it did make a noticeable difference.

    The WOWO method makes it a lot less time consuming too.

    Ken
  • papaya1040papaya1040 Member Posts: 26
    I only applied one coat, learnt the lesson of less is more. Will try applying another one. Thanks

    Thanks Juice, it looks even better now after 2 coats of Klasse SG, but the light house doesn't come with the sale, deal?

    Finally took some pics of my S2K after a wash/wax:

    image

    also two more at:

    http://members.cox.net/craig.hunter/s2k/

    I had a breakthrough with the Klasse wax yesterday. Did a coat of cleaner wax, then followed with the sealant. While laboriously buffing out the sealant haze, I was lamenting that it always took an additional wash for the sealant to really shine up (I think the wash blends out the brush stroke effect the sealant can have). Well, then it hit me -- why not buff with a damp cloth?? So that's what I did, wipe with a damp microfiber towel and then immediately follow with a dry one, panel by panel. This has resulted in the best shine I have seen yet from Klasse, and it was also much easier to take the haze off. The car has that "glass" look now that I didn't normally get until the first wash, and also has that rich varnished feel Klasse gives.
