: Hawaii cruize?
elemento 11-01-2005, 10:53 AM Hey Hawaii Peeps,
I need some input here. Danze mentioned as a suggestion about meeting at alamoana key holes and cruizing from there. I was thinking Saturday but I would like more replies. I was hoping to shoot for this Saturday but, I gotta find out what's up with you guys. Thanks..Me
sarfai 11-01-2005, 08:48 PM sounds good to me, just gotta see how the weather is.

Hi Safari!
I saw you at Kapolei shopping center parked in front of Fun Factory. I pulled in Blockbuster when I saw your nice E out front. Very nice!
About the cruise, This Saturday I can't do.

hey you read my post on tooo much noise? the creeking clunking noise? ever had it?
808Element 11-03-2005, 12:36 AM hey you read my post on tooo much noise? the creeking clunking noise? ever had it?
Not on my car, maybe you can send me a pm to set up a day where I can check it out for myself. I saw the thread and I've removed my inner panels before, maybe the problem is in there. That other guys said about lubricating the hindge or something?
DanzE 11-03-2005, 06:02 PM So how about meeting at the Ala Moana key hole and just checking out the HI E's, no need cruise as everyone seems to be too busy. Any Sat. or Sunday is ok w/me as I usually hang out at the breach unless there's surf of course!
elemento 11-04-2005, 04:40 PM Yeah, that sounds like a better idea dude....Maybe try for a "drive through and check it out" deal. Then can just go beach afterwards =)...gUESS We will see then....Hey anybody from Hawaii reading this post how about it?...alright guy...
808Element 11-04-2005, 06:45 PM How about arranging for next Sunday? I get off from work 1pm. This Saturday, I have a Ultimate Fighter bbq in the evening but prior to that I gotta prep for my potluck...This Sunday I have a motorcycle cruise. Maybe the following Sunday (11/13)?
DanzE 11-08-2005, 12:24 PM I hear the surfs up beginning on Wed to Sat or Sun so I'll be hanging out at Ala Moana park either way. Hey Elemento if you are around the park drop on buy and if you have a digital camera handy can you take a few pictures of my E so I can post them on this forum? I don't have a digital camera and don't know how to post pictures. Mahalo and see yah!
sarfai 11-10-2005, 01:00 AM I hear the surfs up beginning on Wed to Sat or Sun so I'll be hanging out at Ala Moana park either way. Hey Elemento if you are around the park drop on buy and if you have a digital camera handy can you take a few pictures of my E so I can post them on this forum? I don't have a digital camera and don't know how to post pictures. Mahalo and see yah!
Hey dan, when will you be at ala's? I will be around town tomorrow, i can bring my digital cam. Than everyone can will see how awsome your E looks like.
DanzE 11-10-2005, 11:59 AM I plan on surfing early tomorrow morning, at around 7 am to who knows,.. up until lunch time, if the waves are really as good as they say they will be! Winds are supposed to back off to. I haven't have time to wash my E yet either but the pics may look ok anyway. Hope to see you tomorrow at Ala Moana sometime. Aloha.
elemento 11-12-2005, 02:23 AM Cool Danze, sarfai, I hope the weather is good. Gonna bring my mountain bike and cruize. Hope to see a couple of E's tomorrows...Later guys
sarfai 11-13-2005, 10:49 PM hey guys, hope the meet was awsome, i wasnt keeping track of the forum and i had 808 call me and ask if there was a meet, well hope it was fun. i couldnt meet any who cause my E went in to the auto plex on saturday lunch time. they said it may take about half a month. bummer. but i can drive by with the loaner and see your E's.
DanzE 11-14-2005, 11:08 AM Did not see anyone there on Sat. Did anyone go? I usually hang out there if there is surf,.. should be some beginning Tues thru Thurs of this week so will be there after work. Aloha.

sarfai 11-28-2005, 11:31 PM here is some pics of a last minute meet, i wouldnt say cruize, but it was all good, meeting with other E owners. 1) silver, sop,fiji blue close up and blurry 2) far away 3) VEX 4) ELEMENTO
elemento 11-29-2005, 02:27 AM yeah...not exactly a cruize (wasn't meant to be) but, it's a start!..Anyways here are some pics we took...not bad turn out considering it was a last minute "you gonna be in that area shoots I will cruize by" deal..=)....okay so come on peeps let's get something planned....eventually..everybody kind of busy...hhmmm Jan maybe
DanzE 11-29-2005, 12:42 PM nice pictures, sorry I missed it. let me know if another one is planned soon. hopefully i can post some pics too, soon. aloha.
vexed 11-29-2005, 03:40 PM :shock: At least the pic hid the dirt on our E. I felt so shame that I went home and washed it.:)
sarfai 11-30-2005, 01:05 AM so funny vexed, hey i felt the same way, but i had a hunch that it was going to rain the next day. and then, IT RAINED. well vexed at least you had a clean car for half a day. lol by the way i tried calling.
elemento 11-30-2005, 02:00 AM No worry peeps couldn't even tell from the pic =)...Hey yeah we will definetely have a casual last minute meeting again sometime...Hey Danze I saw your E at Daimonds..Didn't you see your windshield wiper waving....=)
DanzE 12-01-2005, 11:37 AM Sucka it was you!? I suspected but as some kids have played w/my E before I wasn't sure. Should've taken some pics if you had your camera.
I've had dents put into the hood and sides, my alarm set off, etc. a number of times in the past when I parked in an outside parking lot, close to Downtown (by Gold's Gym) and at malls. I guess its chance you take when you fix up your E and keep it looking nice.
Aloha. Dan
elemento 12-01-2005, 06:19 PM I don't normally bring my digicam on a bike ride but, maybe I should've huh....I also ran into another fellow "e"ster up there..... maybe you know him...barrow? barrel?....anyways next time then....
DanzE 12-02-2005, 11:51 AM I'll probably be at DH in the afternoon on Sat, got to watch the SC-UCLA game and on Sunday if this cold doesn't get worse.
elemento 12-05-2005, 02:06 AM well Danze,
Take care of that cold and maybe Jan we can all meet up.....Been too busy lately to even cruize Keyholes or Daimondhead...Oh well....alright then...
808Element 12-06-2005, 04:15 PM That's some nice picture guys! I was in Cali at the time, otherwise I'd meet up too! So whens the next meet?
elemento 12-07-2005, 10:42 AM Hey 808,
I guess everybody is kind of busy for the season so hopefully January we can do some casual meet. I was thinking maybe just cruize by at the park but, I will let you know. Danze still needs to post some pics of his "pimped" ride =)...
DanzE 12-07-2005, 12:01 PM How about Daimond Head as an alternative spot to meet sometime?
Also I dented my side step/running board on my passenger side on a curve! I wanted to replace/change it with a new one. It is easy to change/replace?
It costs around $325 for just one Honda factory side step from Tony Honda! I couldn't find anywhere cheaper over the internet, plus shipping has to be added. Has anyone seen a cheaper one somewhere?
Mahalo.
elemento 12-07-2005, 12:33 PM Yipes!!! Danze.... $325.00 HHmmm that sounds about what I paid for two....Let me check. I might be able to get it cheaper to you dude....As far as the install...It shouldn't be a problem unless you dammaged the threads for the bolts. Let me get back to you on the price ....Don't worry it's pretty easy to install...
elemento 12-07-2005, 03:38 PM Hey Danze,
I checked and that price has got to be for two tubular sidesteps... ..My cost for two is $390.64 for two shipping included...If interested let me know by tommorow and If you need help with the install no prob...
DanzE 12-07-2005, 06:43 PM I am interested. In other words it might mean I can't buy just one, have to buy two?!? I just need one for the passenger side. Let me know if you find anything and can help. I'll call the dealers again about just getting one. Mahalo.
elemento 12-08-2005, 03:23 AM Danze dude,
Hey let me know if you can't get a better deal...Hey can you get a hydraulic jack under your car?
DanzE 12-08-2005, 11:22 AM Where did you get you side steps? I've checked around on the internet and they cost around $325 to $395 per set and then there's the shipping which has ranged from $150 to $195 (2-3 days shipping). I am not sure about the hydrolic lift, can't I just slide under the E and losen the bolts and then replace the whole thing easily w/out lifting it? Mahalo.
elemento 12-08-2005, 03:43 PM Hey Danze,
I got my connections....If you want em for sure let me know okay....I think your E is too low to crawl under....I barely fit under mines because of that ugly bar that protects the gas tank. Anyways let me know...
DanzE 12-08-2005, 05:56 PM Shoots if you can get a pair cheaper I'm in. Just let me know how to pay for them. Much Mahalo. Dan
elemento 12-09-2005, 11:10 AM Hey Danze,
I guess the best way would be to come with me with the $ and pick it up...I left a message on your phone but, I think I did not leave my num...I will leave it this morning and see if you can get back to me so we can work the deal....
DanzE 12-09-2005, 11:26 AM ok i'll call you tonight if that's ok. then we'll meet when you are available somewhere. unless you want to call me at work? I work in downtown HQ on Bishop now. much mahalos. dan

Mahalo.
I was on my way from the Chiropractic office and I drove pass the beach park yesterday. I saw your E Dan and the damage don't look that bad. But I bet it's very noticeable to you though? Other than that, great looking E!
sarfai 12-10-2005, 03:03 AM Hey Danze,

HEY MENTO (ELE) DONT FORGET YOUR DIGITAL CAM. YOU KNOW WE ALL WAITING TO SEE DANZ E ON THIS SITE.
vexed 12-10-2005, 12:08 PM Yesterday I saw on Ala Moana Blvd an all black E with chrome rims, maybe 19"--is that anyone here? I think it was a woman driving it but I was running w/o my glasses so:twisted:
elemento 12-10-2005, 04:23 PM Hey Sarfai,
I think he's going surfin norths...so I won't be able to take pics....Hey Vexed! Don't you normally wear your glasses when driving lol? Thanks for the bumper dude, tried cutting out the holes for the fogs and practiced on the bumper you gave me yipes!! I think these walmart fogs that everybody recommends look too small well, Imo.....anyways I will post and let everybody know the easiest way to cut out the holes and Oh yeah been experimenting with the fender also...so far brakeleen seems to work without streaking for cleaning....anyways....

Anyways I will post and let everybody know the easiest way to cut out the holes and Oh yeah been experimenting with the fender also...so far brakeleen seems to work without streaking for cleaning....anyways....
Try using a Dremel tool or a drill attachment that they use to drill out the holes on the wooden doors so they can install the door knobs.
As for cleaning the panels, I go to Pflueger Honda/ South Seas Honda Motorcycle shop to buy the "Honda Spray polish dressing" It's used for cleaning road grime, bug guts, on plastic and vinyl material. It dresses it up at the same time and protects from the sun. I use it alot on my motorcycles....
elemento 12-10-2005, 11:05 PM Hey 808,
I am gonna use a 3 1/2" hole saw. If you actually cut following the Honda molded cap the hole will be too big for the walmart special fogs. I told Sarfai I am gonna do it next Sat and if it comes out good I can use the same hole saw to do others.
sarfai 12-10-2005, 11:09 PM Yesterday I saw on Ala Moana Blvd an all black E with chrome rims, maybe 19"--is that anyone here? I think it was a woman driving it but I was running w/o my glasses so:twisted:
hey vex she is not on this site. but she is the one with the hummer front grill. awsome aint it.

I saw that at Pflueger but decided to use 303 since I had some from when it was on sale at Daiei a long time ago. So far so good, just make sure you buff it.
elemento 12-11-2005, 07:51 PM Hey 808,
How much for the Honda spray??
DanzE 12-12-2005, 01:09 PM hey thanks for the side steps had no probs picking them up from t-honda. will put them on when i have time. surf was good down at rest camp. hawaii amateur contest,.. made finals in both shortboard and longboard! mahalo. d
808Element 12-12-2005, 07:05 PM Hey 808,
How much for the Honda spray?? $5-6 all you need is a cloth to spread it on the plastic
elemento 12-13-2005, 10:32 AM No probs D,
Hey congratulations on your placing....Let me know if you need assistance with the steps...Hey wanted to ask you if your fogs was factory or aftermarket??
elemento 12-13-2005, 10:33 AM Hey 808 dude,
Thanks for the info. Waiting to check out your E in person one day guy. =)

Thanks for the info. Waiting to check out your E in person one day guy. =)
We gotta meet soon cause I want to take off my rims. 4 times a week for the next 4 weeks, I have to run to the Airport, back to Kapolei, then head out to Kapiolani, then back home to Kapolei. That takes a toll on my rims and tires. That's why I want to run my stocks for awhile and save my mutha Faulkin tires.
DanzE 12-13-2005, 11:55 AM i got the factory fogs but since i have piaa white bulbs in my head lights the fogs look a bit dull, yellowish! so i'm thinking about changing my fog bulbs to something much brighter via eurosport. i'll let you know if i need help w/the side steps. europort may put them on for free since i'll have them change the fogs, my side blinker set up, etc. soon. mahalo.
elemento 12-14-2005, 12:38 AM Dude 808,
Wouldn't want you to mess up your "mutha faukin" tires lol....Let me know where you going be during the week guy..
DanzE 12-14-2005, 12:50 PM Ed sorry was in my own world in Kam Hwy yesterday. Got this cold and things to go for X-mas,.. I may take you up on the help if Eurosport doesn't come thru w/the fogs, signal mods, etc. Aloha
DanzE 12-14-2005, 03:29 PM will be picking up a set of hyper white piaa H3 replacement bulbs for my fogs at Eurosport today. Thread on how to replace them looks complicated but i'm going to give it a shot along w/trying to get signals to blink faster and in unison with side lights when turn signal is on. will try the side step replacement too. eurosport guy who does it is on vacation and is busy for a while. aloha. d

DanzE 12-15-2005, 11:18 AM sure i'd be up for that, when? I'm free this weekend and where? it might help as i'm not that good w/cars. we could combined it into a meet?
elemento 12-15-2005, 12:23 PM Hey Sars, Danze, 808
That is a great idea Sars...OKay well I was planning to install my fogs (aka driving lights) this Saturday....If you want you peeps welcome to use my garage....I guess we need to jack your E up Danze anyways....Anyway let me know =)
DanzE 12-15-2005, 03:41 PM ok w/me, just give me a call. i'll need to get some things to make my side ligts blink when my blinker is on, and Eurosport ran out of the cuircut that makes it blink a bit faster so i'll have to find one somewhere else. i'll work on changing my fog light bulbs too,..

hey dan i went there on wed and saw the thingy to adjust the speed of the lights on the table with the clearance stuff.
elemento 12-18-2005, 11:28 PM Hey "Sars",
What do you think "mento" sounds like lol.....Nah okay....I will find another one hhmmmmmm......Hey "D", I tried making it down there on Sunday but horrific traffic!! I could've went the other way but, was too caught up in the traffic to remember...oh well....So did you finish what you was working on?....
DanzE 12-19-2005, 12:26 PM Sorry you couldn't make it, someone had a heart attack and hit the waikele golf course fence during a left turn!
I did get my side lights to blink, my PIAAs bulbs in my fogs and new side steps put in, after some trial and error. It took almost all day!
Where did you see the blinker things, at Eurosport? I'll have to call them up as this'll be the next thing to put on my E, besides putting in a small speaker for surround sound movies.
Aloha. Dan
DanzE 12-19-2005, 03:15 PM Hey if we meet up, bring your camera so we can take some pics of my E finally, thanks.
