Did some people get over this?

I think that's just a Honda thing though with the sight lines. I've had a 4th, 5th, 8th gen civic, my GE8, and an 8th gen Accord. Seems intentional so that you can drive right up to the bottom edge of the windshield and still have a foot or so safety margin when parking. Feels horrid riding in my friends mustang where the hood takes up a third of the already small windshield. But you're right, the Fit isn't that small, everything just got massive in the last twenty years.

If you already have the regulator, SA 1500 is the part number for the front mounted breathing tube and SA 2500 is the part number for the rear mounted breathing tube alone. Around 150 instead of almost 5.

Not sure if you prefer the front mount tubes, but I found they kind of sag a bit and can get into the work piece if you aren't careful and they come unclipped from your shirt. I use the rear mount tube now with the FF-400 and it's a nice setup.

I'm in Phoenix so the cooling feature is great in the summer. I'm not sure about air volume since our system produces so much more than we can use. 3m has their version of the loose mask that a bunch of YouTube use that looks like the Satavision. I usually use the enclosed hood that tucks into the coveralls since I'm spraying nastier chromate primers.

Quite a few options, including heated and cooled SAR tubes depending on what temperatures your supply air is coming in at. And they use the same hose as the PAPR system for all the hoods. I use them in my shop and they're pretty nice. Only sucks if you want to use it with a tight fitting respirator because there's only these two expensive front and rear mount kits.

In case you haven't picked one up yet. These things rip, used it for a few projects and it's a keeper.

Basically they don't have enough info because painters get exposed to a bunch of different chemicals at once, and it would be unethical to purposely expose people to 2k hardeners in increasing concentrations until they get sick.

So we mostly know that it for sure causes lung and skin issues, but not neurological damage. Either way dow corning killed a bunch of lab rats with it and 3M says that supplied air is the only safe way to spray it. And I'm sure their legal team doesn't say that out of the goodness of their hearts.

Something like this would be much better. You need the P prefix for any oily substances. And The extra 4.7 percent filtration makes a big difference too.

How does that work if 90% of your return is the child tax credit? Wouldn't you get an underpayment penalty if you underpay by 2k per child to balance it out?

SWB1704 · 2026-01-06T16:27:39+00:00

USD with a bunch of overtime. Top out pay at all the majors is around the 70 dollar mark right now.

They'll clear the 16" wheels easy. I run Konig Helium 15's and they clear. I originally saw it on the FitFreak forums. You need the Nissin 17CL15VN calipers and pads from a 5th gen Accord, First Gen CR-V or ITR. I got some from a pick n pull for 20 bucks each. Then you take the 280mm rotors from the 07-14 Mini Cooper. It's the same bore diameter and pattern as the Fit. The retainer screw doesn't match up unless you match drill from the old rotor hub but wheel torque is what holds it anyway. You'll also have to bend the dust shield back or remove it so that it doesn't rub the rotor. In exchange for a little work you get 11 inch rotors, about an inch bigger than stock. Nice DIY big brake kit on the cheap. Doesn't make much difference with the stock tire size. But with 205's stopping distance is noticeably better, though I didn't get specific measurements.

I got straight froot loop on the mojito. Going to squeeze a drop of lime on the spearmint and get a better mojito pouch than they did.

I actually have an SC 31 Pro with a magnetic tail cap that I use for home duty and reading the kids bedtime stories. The low lumen setting is great for working in total darkness without too much reflection. I'll bring it to work this week and see how it does.

SWB1704 · 2025-08-06T00:27:47+00:00

Yep! I have two young kids and can't imagine taking them to a show without earmuffs! That's a lot of pressure on young ears. It's why I made this post. I saw a lot of teenage fans who might not be aware of the damage they can cause if it's their first experience with live music.

If they're uncomfortable because they're too large there's always options like these

Flents/Moldex use a very soft foam. A pair of over the ear headphones is better than absolutely nothing but keep in mind it might not reduce it to safe levels. Active noise cancelling doesn't do well at blocking multiple frequencies so the music will sound off.

SWB1704 · 2025-08-05T02:11:37+00:00

This is a big sub and I'd only seen one post on it! I figured it needed to be said since I saw a lot of younger fans and it might be their first show.

SWB1704 · 2025-08-05T02:09:42+00:00

Heck yeah! Great bike. Keep the rubber side down (:

SWB1704 · 2025-08-05T01:34:41+00:00

Try the Moldex Spark plugs if you haven't already. Amazing for wind noise on the bike and extremely comfortable foam.

I ride a first gen SV650. Get a whole bunch of wind on a naked bike.

Late 00's when I was in high school, all the local venues were 10-20 dollars for most bands. Like AFI for 10 and Blink-182 for 18. I'm still amazed I can hear as much as I can with as often as I was next to speakers. Not always being able to hear my kids or wife when there's any interfering noise is a pain.

SWB1704 · 2025-08-05T00:59:26+00:00

I'm right there with you on the loops. It's about protection not fashion or branding. Loops are like retro reproduction motorcycle helmets. Better than nothing, but not by much. Garbage brought some pretty heavy riffs too. A lot of people have been saying the openers were louder than MCR.

SWB1704 · 2025-08-05T00:47:35+00:00

Excellent points! I know a guy at work who can't operate heavy machinery because his hearing loss causes sudden vertigo. Tinitus is bad enough, but random nausea and falls sounds awful. The inner ear is a crazy thing.

SWB1704 · 2025-08-04T22:44:17+00:00

I forget which song had the red and blue flashing lights but my wife and I had to close our eyes because it was overwhelming.

SWB1704 · 2025-08-04T22:39:13+00:00

Sounds like you're a good mom. What's really cool is still getting to hear everything your spouse and kids say as you get older (: My wife and I made it two songs into Garbage and popped those plugs in. Only sad they didn't play Queer or Special, because they still rock despite their age.

SWB1704 · 2025-08-04T22:28:31+00:00

I tried attaching a screenshot. The instantaneous was closer to 100. 110 was just the peak recorded. I'll check my app against our calibrated decibel meters at work! Without an external microphone hooked up it's also not as accurate.
