and does retro solutions come with a relay?
Yeah it comes with a relay. Honestly between me and my boss we bough over seven different kits on four different vehicles. And retro solutions is not only based in CT but one of the best kits we had. Super clean install and its digital.

And i hate to break it to ya but when you get bags if you have a kit it really is not going to resolve that issue. I still gotto drive up on wood!!!

thanks guys... yeah i think i'm going to have to not be scared to get dirty and just do my own oil changes from now on. at home i can use a widow-maker jack to raise the car until i can get a bigger jack underneath... so it's not that bad.

AHHHHHHHHHH A CUBEEEEEE!!! not gonna lie i like the black one!


i had to stalk the soul's at the dealership too on the way to dave & busters because yeaaaah i've only seen one white one on the road and i'm mad about that. i don't think it's anything like our 1st gens after looking at it. i mean they're similar but not. have u guys seen a lot on the road? I wanna see at least 2 souls and 1 cube on the road during my road trip to NC tomorrow. lol

wow didnt realize the cube was already on the lots....for a sec I thought it was a 2gen then I realized it was stubby....think I might take the box to a Nissan dealership then a Kia and scope out the other "impostor boxes" even thou I believe the cube was out in Japan the same time our boxes were out...not sure thou. Changing your own oil is a breeze....a lil dirty breeze but super simple.

Yeah frank I think the cubes been out for awhile over there. I saw that black cube @ the dealership in Bristol. Honestly I liked the cube, it's roomy on the inside like ours too. Wasn't too sure how I felt about the rug piece on the dashboard tho (in the cube)... anyone know what that's about?

The soul wasn't too nice... but that's what u get with a kia I guess.

Really you saw a lot of souls down there? that's funny. i'm hopeing to see some just because i want to see what "type" of people are driving them. as for the cubes... i don't know man... they look real nice haha. i already know one person who's trading in their xB for a cube. not that i'd go that far... but who knows they might blow up and get popular like the xB

lmao no really when you see it... it's random and seems almost out of place but i'm sure it has a purpose. i didnt take a pic but i'm looking on the website and it's called a "**** dash topper". don't ask the purpose cuz i have no clue!



it's funny too i'm on the nissan website lookin at the cube and it says "curvy is the new cool" ... hmmm so it's NOT a box then?? haha

Ok you guys will a get a kick out of this. I was just reading a thread on my work forum about this some random kid who drivs a gsx-r. He said his bike was feeling sluggish and ended up stopping by the gas station to pick up some NOS injector cleaner. He put two 20 oz bottles into his gas tank. One bottle is good for 12 gallons.... not three that are his tank size. Well apparently he bought NOS energy drink instead and emptied that into his gas tank!

i was reading car and driver yesterday when i was at the chevy dealership for 3 1/2 hours. and they did a write up on the soul, supposedly it's not comfortable to drive at all. and of course they compared it to our first gens. hands down they like ours better.
