yesterday... I over revved on the freeway... 3rd to 2nd... I'm sure it was over 7k+ but...
weird thing is that I checked my scan gauge's history and it was 6979k max rpm from yesterday.

Hopefully nothing was damaged... I'm sure nothing was though.

Horrible accident I did to the poor little sohc 1.5 L15a engine yesterday....

Got the rear half of the Pro-Cs on today. Install was easy as pie and I only had to do it twice to get the ride height right LOL Ended up leaving the locking ring off the perches to get her low enough to suit me. The ride feels softer than with the cut Skunk2 springs and stock shocks already. My rear shocks were pretty well worn also... MN, that is good news man, want to see some video of that start-up!

This was from last weekend but my Mom went into the hospital on Tuesday and it has been crazy. She got home yesterday Happy to have her home again! They put my little tiny Mom in this wheelchair for extra large patients as it was all they had. When the nurse saw my car she said the wheelchair was bigger than the Fit! LOL!



Trophy number 17 - This is my final year to show my baby as a DD it is getting really hard to keep it show condition after being 4 years old and on the road every day. I have loved showing the car and talking to people about how much I love this car. It will be paid off by next May and I will start saving for the project car a CRX.

Happy Father's Day!

I load'd up the FiT with the family and cruised around the island, making stops at the fruits stands, shave ice stores and the beach. Finale will be at the steak house for a dinner that ''I" deserve for being such an "awesome" dad.
Any other "awesome" dads out there?

In last couple days I have installed my Zeta foot rest pedal and rear bumper protector. Driving is SO much more comfortable with the foot rest!

Have an exhaust finisher and cargo organizer on order. I love the Fit so much I am driving my S2000 less this year.

ill share my current project fit which my wife isnt too happy bout lol.
My fit started milano red and minor mods to go in were Spoon n1 and t1r cf intake, new shoes, bronze 17" Konig rims, sport model lip,seibon cf hood and cf spoon duckbill. After that crashed car fixed it up and redid whole thing. Painted it a Jet black new 15'' gp racing rims (mugen look alike) and bought turbo off fellow fit freak member (fit4lyfe) which i am currently installing. Im happy with all the parts it came with. Im fabricating my own downpipe and intercooler piping and its coming along real good. Will update with videos and pics soon!

there're lots of them i'm sure.

i get to the point where i'm torn between my loved ones. i feel guilty for neglecting my wife n kids whenever i'm working on my car. and i feel anxious whenever i'm neglecting my car to spend my time with wife n kids... i need a clone of myself..

getting back into topic: i've just done the wiper mods yesterday, and swapping muffler back from tanabe to hks... i'm also thinking of getting an hks downpipe-bpipe
