Watched her roll over 97K on the way home from work. Got on FF and confirmed I have scored some Skunk2 Pro Cs (Ciggy you are the man!) Now I really have to figure out a way to raise the Megan midpipe I just put on because it is hanging waaaaaaayyy to low. If I plan on decapitating ants with the coilovers I'm gonna have to figure something out.....

Exclamation Yes!! Dropp'n The MzFiT on Tanabe's

Yes thanks to jman 245 I'm getting a mild drop for the new rims. Tanabe GF-210 should be arriving next week! Received a message from the graphics co. the wheel stripes are in the mail today! now just need the Dragon Racing center caps to arrive and The MzFiT will have a new stance and Baby's gonna have a new set of shoes. (removing 68+ pounds off the 4 corners!)
The Real Deal here is that this whole mod (cosmetically) is wrapped around a 5.00 set of Dragon Racing center caps LOL remember "The Ricer The Nicer"
And ja no U can't get any better than "plastic" BREMO caliper covers! Kandy Red on gold base wrapped in 3 coat of clear! and yep I gotta stash of BREMO stickers .

It's funny what will be the Start or Finsh of a new mod. I was joking on one of Vinny's threads about Ricers and how if ya own a Fit your driving in a rice bowl. Then that got me thinking why not rice her up a notch, right.

Thanks again Jay R for the deal I'm happy and I hope you are too.

Replaced the rear drivers side wheel bearing. Pretty easy job, it would have taken me only thirty minutes if I wasnt hitting the wrong place to get the axle nut cover off. I felt very stoooopid when I finally figured it out :P

Big Mike, I am glad that after only two years of people giving you a shit time about going lower you have finally joined the dark side! Now you can gripe about how being low screws up that beautiful paint like the rest of us LOL

Round of applause for Big Mike from everyone. He finally took the plunge and did it. Tanabe is a nice spring with a good drop. You will be pleased. Now you must drive even more careful not to scrape. Just remember scratches on front lip adds character.

Pm me Big Mike if you need help installing those. Im almost done moving in my new house, and need a reason to drive my fit. She has been in garage over a week and not even touched. She is probably jealous of the company truck, but she still gets the garage.

Those are Kosei K1s. They look like 15x7 +38 or +45. Owner will have to confirm that. Great rim. Light and strong. She had some painted lime green that were uber sexy on that blue. She had a picture thread. Look there for more pics.

Yesterday,
found some new scratches... ,
reset the ECU again,
configured some XGauges... (it takes an age to get the fan on)
poured some two stroke and toluene

...and finally went for an italian square (yep!!!) tune.

In the evening I bought some nice new toys... let's see how things will hopefully improve
