What did you do to your GE fit today?
Lucky few haha. Mine had never been touched and were the same ones that have been on there since the car had been made. That's a good 6 years of rusting and seizing lol
Yep. I ended up destroying mine but I wouldn't be able to reuse them on the s2k rotors anyway haha.
I have a chance to drive my car on freeway today,
after 3 days straight of learning and trying to get the Perfect Alignment...
Finally I can declare I have the Perfect Alignment...
The car track straight and true and feel even more planted at the corner.
I change the Camber from about minus 1.75 to about minus 2.2 now.
I also adjust the Toe In to about 1.8mm TOTAL Toe In for straight line high speed stability and make sure the steering wheel straight... before I was driving with steering wheel slightly to the left AFTER I change to J's Racing Steering wheel, because the gear on the J's Racing Steering Wheel do not match the orientation of the stock steering wheel.
I was at one point try minus 3 camber and the car just drive horrible, and the tire screech at hard cornering and easy to lose traction...
I know some other FitFreak member had their camber at minus 3 and the car drive ok, I guess this must be because my tire is really low profile at 215/40ZR-18...
so when you have less flex on the side wall, the tire really lose contact patch...
As soon as this tire is worn out, I do plan to get 225/35ZR-18 since Michelin Pilot Super Sport is just recently available in this new wider size...
EDIT: I also adjust the front Ohlins 2 click harder (clockwise) and now the ride is bit harder but the car just ...
glued to the contour of the road !

I want to say I believe Waiz, but there's always that one item that is needed to "finish" off the project. Then of course there's something else that comes along and it's a never ending cycle lol!
I was finally able to get most of the stuff back on the car for one last event before she goes down for version 2.0 which should be completed in a few months.
One picture my brother sent over from someone on a website called Instagram.

Might as well switch to a 51R. It can be done if you take out the battery tray. I use an Optima Yellowtop and it's great.
That sounds like something wrong with your electrical system. Ive had the same stock battery for over 4 years and its still fine to this day. Nothing wrong with the honda batteries.
Thanks brother! Yes they're 16's.
It's the JDP rear duckbill in carbon fiber. The top is painted black and the underside is still in carbon.
16X8 +20 front and 16X8 +15 rear. Thanks for the compliment brother! Your stuff will be shipping out Monday
Car looks good bro! I love your setup! Can't wait to see it again in person, this time with better lighting lol!

Same one for now..... Had an extra one. I still have the sport skirts, I'll take some pics on Monday and shoot them your way if your friend is still interested.
How often you drive yours? There are times when I don't drive it for 1-2 weeks and the battery is too weak to start the car. I have 2 other Hondas in the family that can sit for weeks as well, but they have no issues starting right up. It's more likely the physical battery size is the issue rather than my electrical system.
