Hey Fitfreaks, i havent been on a while due to being rear ended the day after my birthday... How great is that? -.-

Got hit by a lawn maintenance trailer... here are a couple pics


This is the damage from the outside.


... and the damage from under the bumper

The insurance took care of it already and the car is back in working order

i like the job they did with the bumper and quarter panel, they blended the colors perfectly.
such a good job with the paint(nice, thick and hard) compared to the stock soft Honda Paint

 

Wanted to add: Just before the accident happened painted and installed my Mugen Spoiler & Mugen Diffuser. As well as the Bug/Hood Deflector

Some crappy pics:



& got these in the mail

 

Looks good man, I like the placement of the gd3 sticker. I might have to bite that cuz I might put a banner on the top of my windshield and have to relocate mine. I also like the mugen badge in the grill. I'm torn between mugen and spoon. They both have a nice home on my car. Who says they can't co-exist?

 

Me & Hailie met a FF'r, Larry w/ a cool TW 2011 @ foodlion getting BBQ ribs and we got talk'n about our Fits that we had to cut the conv. short to get the groceries home . haha. But I can see a clay and wax job happen'n in the garage Larry.

^^Big MIke. Was He in Stock form or do we have another photo shoot buddy?

 

Hey B,
She's a new canvas , Larry had a silver Fit But it was in an accident and so he's got a new 2011 TW. But I'd bet he's up for a shoot!
what ya say Larry?

 

Today I opened the parcel kindly sent by Darren
a sparkling SRI and a buddy club short shifter are awaiting for my install... perhaps next weekend, bynow...

Ciao!

 

Lashed my valves and changed the plugs while I had everything apart. Haven't taken her for a drive yet, still rainy here. Like everyone else the intakes were all loose as hell and the exhaust were all really tight. 105K and the plugs look pretty good, a nice uniform dusting of white on all of them. The gaps had opened up enormously however, so I am expecting to see some inprovements in idle quality and MPG. As an FYI the crank nut is a 19mm not a 17 as some of the older DIYs had reported.

 

Yes I met the "Big Mike" and that hawt BOM fit. Actually had been on the lookout for it for 4 years now. Imagine my surprise when I came out of the Grocery store and finally saw it! Ha ha it was like meeting a rock star or something. I just want to do some subtle mods.... drop her on some swifts and get some chrome rims and Im pretty much done.....for now ha ha!

 

Thanks for the update I know you'll keep us posted w/ the + results.

MzFiT has been alot of fun & that's what these lil cars are best know for.
haha rock star car?


Thanks,
Big Mike

 

Big Mike IS A ROCK STAR on Fit FReak.

 

Not me B, "MzFiT" is. I'm just the caregiver

 

I 2nd that!!!

 

I wonder if that's Rock Star Big Mike disguised as one of those ZZ Top performers in that pic.....

 

I don't about that, Mikey seems more charismatic than Dusty and Billy... I could imagine him being at Woodstock filling in for Wavy Gravy making sure that no one took the bad acid and got plenty of organic food to eat.

 

Who's #2, TC #1, Big Mike #3

 

It was Goobers the last I heard.

 

Well the Fit will climb the mountain on rt7 in 5th gear again! And my idle isn't all lumpy anymore either. I had got so used to the sound of valves clattering at startup and while sitting at lights that I almost thought I had stalled it on the way to work this morning! LOL What a difference a little bit of valve lash adjustment makes, I have promised the car I won't make her wait another 100K before I do it again....

 

got my push button start working and my suspension where i want for the mean time. will go lower once i roll the fenders.

didn't feel like dragging out my camera so here are some cell pics.
