Finally installed my springs

I have a strange quiet noise from the left front when accel/decelerating, doesn't effect steering, handling, or performance. can't seem to pinpoint it. going to try and tighten that side down later.

Now she looks good. Check your sway bar end links for the noise. Dont forget alignment, or your tires are done in 2000 miles

Well coming home from work Thursday night I found a new pot hole by my house (Thanks for that DOT LOL) and busted my passenger side front and back tire... Not bad for 25mph is say lol... Turns out my used dealership placed on 4 of the cheapest tires they could find on the planet. Long story short Friday I had to get me 4 new tires. Man I swear this car is haunted or cursed... First the keys now the tires... I had my old KIA for 13 years and not once got a flat or lost a key...


Anyways thanks for hearing my rant guys

oh man...well I just got me a EXT18L battery in the Fit and it is doing its job nicely. No more battery rubbing on my intake and the battery was cheap and lighter than the original.

Just a quick update.

Replaced windshield a couple of weeks ago. Got a stone chip which turned into a huge crack. Love the glass companies that come to you to do the replacement. 20min.

Washed and went to Import Faceoff in New Hampshire. Didn't show.

Last weekend swapped back on summer tires.

Why would u get on here and talk crap? His car is nice and the time and money to do that is well worth it here in the states. What's so hot about ur car. Looks like every other fit out there.

You asked and i answered. His conversion cost more than all your mods, so it is whoop_de_do. I mean why ask if your gonna bash it. So excuse my rudeness when I say next time ill tell you to pull an answer out your ass. Cause I dont really care for your comment

Do you feel it was worth the money to pay for the power? I was hoping for a higher number, but i know our fits are low number without the boost. Just wondering if this is a worth it purchase.
