Hello FitFreak community! Just a new guy here who's looking around for the perfect Fit to pick up and definitely looking forward to getting to know the community through meets and gatherings. I seriously have a thing for Fits...one of my favorite cars, lol. In the meantime, I figured I'd share my other car...the reason why I need a DD - my 2008 Graphite Gray Evolution X GSR.
This car's been through a lot already unfortunately. The stock turbo blew after two months and three track days. We ended up tracing the problem back to a faulty weld on one of the fins that caused it to break off, literally shatter the other fins into hundreds of pieces and then everything proceeded to shoot through my motor. Besides pieces of scrap metal everywhere, this was the largest fragment I could find of one of my stock turbo fins.
Here are some other shots of us dumping black plastic/metal shavings out of my stock intercooler.
The inside of the upper pipe was completely covered and caked in more black plastic/metal shavings.
There's more pics of the damage somewhere on my computer but in the end, I said "F*ck this. I'm calling Mike."
A few weeks later, I got the motor back from Cosworth...we dropped it in and here's what it looks like now.
The rest of the car has a little bit of something from everyone - Varis, ARC, D-Luck, etc. It's definitely still a work in progress and I have soooo many parts lying around that I need to get on but I can't because I don't have a DD anymore, lol. For example...full cage sitting around, meth injection, Esprit Wing and more.
The majority of these pictures are old but I'm too lazy to take new ones and I have a photoshoot with Lisa Fleming coming up so I'm just waiting for that. Here are some miscellaneous shots.
Remote reservoirs for my coilovers.
Nitto NT05's...the sidewall on these are actually a bit too stiff and coupled with my spring rates, I'm definitely looking to swapping these out asap for something with a softer compound. Still...they are amazing tires with a real progressive feel and awesome grip in dry conditions.
Zeal bucket seat...getting the rails made now. :)
And lastly, a shot of my newest mod. Courtesy of Jay from JDMEGO, a new license plate frame, woohoo!
I know it isn't a Fit but I just wanted to share. I'm really hoping to join the FF community soon with an actual car that belongs here, lol. Thanks for viewing and the community here is waayyyyy better than most other car forums. :P
