Oh yeah, there are lots of Fits rolling around the city now! I see at least 2-3 every time I go down to Market Mall to pick up my g/f!! LOL you can always find some spare change to mod your Fit!

What is your daughter taking at the U of C?

BComm: Finance. She's going to be an investment banker. Maybe she can help with my mods when she completes her degree?! ;-)

I went looking for that place when I was there and ended up getting lost (I didn't look that hard

)

Yes, it is very beutiful We've been here for 13 years now (was in CGY for 2 years before that - Signal Hill & Coach Hill - boy it's growing in that area!) But honestly, now that my daughter has moved out, we have no "reason" to live here per se. We don't ski or hike or bike nearly as much as we used to. Looking at Cochrane for a better value, and closer to CGY where she now lives. My job is not dependant on where I live - I could even move to Phoenix or Vegas for that matter. Housing prices are sure bottoming out down there! But I'd have to get a Fit with A/C...

I don't mind winter, but after 46 of them, I would like to spend the majority of the year *above* the freezing mark instead of the other way around. Of course, San Diego is beautiful too (can you say 'beach'?), but not as many housing deals as AZ or NV. Cabo San Lucas would be ideal (355 sunny days per year!), but that probably won't happen for at least 10 years...LOL!

^^ I hear ya. One of these days I am moving back to a nice beach in BC

Welcome to the forum and I am glad to see you are enjoying your Fit as much as we all are.

My folks have a house in the three sisters so I`m quite familiar with Canmore.

Maybe we should all look at doing a full day cruise before the summer ends

Sugarphreak · #**1390** (**permalink**) 07-09-2008, 11:14 AM

I would be in for something like that

Illusive · #**1391** (**permalink**) 07-09-2008, 11:20 AM

I'd be down once I get everything sorted out!

JDMish · #**1392** (**permalink**) 07-09-2008, 11:58 AM

Welcome aboard!

Glad to see another family man joining the ranks, mind you I'm not as hardened as you

I have had my Fit since September 2006 (3 month wait) and love every minute I spend in it, while my wife hates it. LOL She prefers her Mazda Tribute.

I'm heading to San Diego tomorrow for a 3-day get-away, and I hope she doesn't get too upset when I try and do a little "Fit Spotting". It's always nice to see what Fit owners are up to in SoCal. It's amazing how mods can transform this vehicle!

Sure are seeing a whole lot more Fits on the road in the past few months, eh?!

Take care.

Welcome! Almost could've spotted an Alberta platted Fit! I'm nearing the tail end of my road trip.. I've driven from Calgary, to Salt Lake, to Vegas, to LA, to Disneyland, to San Diego, and now i'm currently in San Francisco!

It's been HOT!

Sugarphreak · #**1394** (**permalink**) 07-16-2008, 03:35 PM

Um anybody up for helping me swap manifolds.... WR has a revised version they plan to send me.

Mr_ET · #**1395** (**permalink**) 07-16-2008, 08:01 PM

I`m sure Jon and I can take care of that for you if need be man

JDMish · #**1396** (**permalink**) 07-16-2008, 09:29 PM

I'd be down for that sometime. so are they charging you for a new one?

Sugarphreak · #**1397** (**permalink**) 07-17-2008, 01:58 AM

Man you guys are the best!

No, I shouldn't be charged for anything. They are looking into getting around customs right now as well.

Mr_ET · #**1398** (**permalink**) 07-17-2008, 11:32 PM

Glad to hea that got any pics or a description of what is different on the new one?

Sugarphreak · #**1399** (**permalink**) 07-17-2008, 11:34 PM

Pretty much exactly the same thing, just added a new port to it. They put up a thread about it here today;

WR Intake Manifold EGR problems Solved.
