got a ticket from a red light camera....pissed

 

Shouldnt have run the light...or tried to beat it...lol! I feel your pain tho. Nice thing is that i have managed to go almost 4 years without a ticket of any kind. I know that seems like not a big deal but i also had gotten so many tickets in a 24 month period that i had to pay a surcharge to the state

But as of now i havent even been STOPPED let alone gotten a ticket. Good thing tho, and that im over 25 and married since im looking to get a car with more expensive insurance.

 

I went from February 1 1984 until the day of the last Presidential election without a ticket...If you think it's funny to get a ticket in a stock Fit imagine getting one in a 60 BHP VW Diesel Pickup.

 

LOL.

You're up early, Coyote! Or is it...up late?

 

Why pissed? You ran a red. Good thing is you did not injure anyone.

 

agreed but no one likes to get that pic in the mail and be owing the state MORE money. lol

BTW, im trying to raise money for my FA5 and i have some stuff i need to get rid of. If any of you guys want or know someone who wants anything off this list PM me and i will give you info.

* Pair of 03+ oem Nissan 350Z rear 18x9.5 wheels: near perfect/like new

*WeaponR strut tower bar for 07-08 USDM Honda fit: Small scratch from batt cable

*WeaponR Short Ram Intake 07-08 Fit: Perfect condition just needs some polishing

*HKS MegaPower Axle back 07-08 Fit: Perfect condition and only put about 2500 miles on it.

*Progress Rear Sway Bar 07-08 Honda Fit: Perfect condition with all bolts required for mounting

DME Header 07-08 Fit: like new condition, this one will be cheap since i got a deal on it.

Im going to start a FS thread on this soon but if anyone wants dibs just PM me and i will make sure to keep track of who wants what.

 

I have been getting a decent amount of sleep for 2 nights in a row, I woke up at 6:15... I need to stay out in the barn doing things more often since I sleep better when I do ... I need to get my big heaters out so I don't freeze out there, it's going to be nasty tomorrow... I should get a lot done today though.

 

Get those dang heaters! Get it done! I can't wait to see all the stuff you've done.

 

Barn/dog house same thing.

 

any of you Fit owners with aftermarket wheels have more info on srs bypass for the airbags???

please help if you can

Just finished installing my JDM smoked OEM tails. I still need to extend the wires, but it was getting way too cold up here in Canada at 9pm.

Side note. It's a bitch getting those lights in with the bumper on. Also though.. it's a bitch getting the bumper off... so both ways you're screwed. Leave the bumper on, bottom in first, tilt up and wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle yeah. It'll go eventually.

Also, I think I'm going a bit insane after cursing at my car for the past hour while swapping those.

 

Soo i just put eyes on a 2008 FA5 civic Si in Dallas for 11,995. Gotta try and setup a test drive and see where things are with my finances and if it all checks out i may have my new baby before the month is out^_^

 

Drove MzFiT tonight since last weekend!
longest time since I've had her. Been drive'n the Hatchback this week and I got into the Fit tonight and WOW what a difference. Higher seating, lots more info on the dash, A/T vs. M/T, solid ride!! The hatch is Fun buzz'n through the gears but Honda has come a Long way in 20 years

 

C'mon Big Mike, you can say it..."I luv my FiT!"

 

Fixed a paint chip and replaced the wiper blades!

 

Hooked up my D1 Throttle Controller, didn't pick a spot for it yet, so I just zipped tied the wires out of the way for now. Put on new wiper blade inserts, replaced the cabin filter, and did the "stiffy" rear wiper mod. I got my Skunk2 exhuast, but I think I'm going to wait for spring to put it on, in case its too loud for me, I figure if it's still shiny I can resell it. I REALLy want to put it on, must resist, salt everywhere...

 

I was looking over my intake and hoses trying to sort out a rough idle when I noticed the stock paper filter was looking kind of gross. I thought about getting a drop-in K&N filter, but I decided to go rice and got a hilarious eBay cone intake for $10 less. I missed the mailman by 20 minutes so I won't get it until this afternoon.

I checked my coil packs because I read they like to cause issues, but I didn't have any dielectric grease to test the issue. I didn't pull the spark plugs because I figure I'll buy better plugs if I'm going to go to the trouble of checking the old ones.

I couldn't see any real issue with the coil packs, but I did see a fine powdery white residue around the rubber lips on the spark plug end of each one, and squishing the lips showed minute fine cracking but nothing that would seem to cause a random rough idle. No hoses looked bad either, but who knows, maybe the plugs are just being finicky.

It felt good getting my hands dirty either way.

 

Installed a fujita CAI and love the sound when vtec kicks in. Seems like there's a lot of discussion whether or not intakes improve the HP or MPG on the Fit. I figure that colder air loaded with oxygen ready to burn is always a good thing

 

My long time friend/mechanic helped me install EP3 Civic Si seats. feels so much better than our stock seats.

 

Nice! I've been thinking of changing my seats.

Do they sit taller or shorter than stock?
