I just went for a ride... Amanda sold me the Blox shift knob that was on Adele and put it on my car for me...

 

^^ Nice. How are you liking your coil overs?

 

The coil overs don't have the travel the Swift Mach springs do but they aren't brutally punishing... If I drive for 5 or 6 hours straight I can feel it in my back for a couple of days but I'm not worried as much about bottoming out.. With the 205-50-16" Goodyear GT tires the revs have drop 200 RPM at 60 to 80 and with the damping at the 7th position in front and the 3rd in the rear the traction and lack of sway makes it hard to stay positioned in the seat on tight corners... It's not as hard on me as my 61 Austin Healey was 45 years ago driving it the same way... I'm just getting too old for too much of anything that's too much fun... I'll be getting a decent 2nd hand car that is large enough to carry all of my grand kids I presently know of pretty soon.. I sure like Cadillacs but Volvo wagons are nice also... I have to many things that need to go onto the Fit and more things I want to get..It will be my late night and can't sleep car once I put the retrofit projector headlamps I got from HondaDavid along with the one piece Mugen type bumper and J's grille.

 

I painted it myself on my back porch. I bought paint from automotivetouchup.com. It's about $50 shipped for 2 rattle cans of the stuff. I only use 1 full can and 1 coat from the second can. I have spare paint left over for maybe a rear garnish.

I drilled about 10 holes at the bottom and screwed in a bunch of screws at the bottom. So far I've only really scraped the screws. There isn't any big scratches at the bottom of the lip like I did to my OEM one.

 

Wore out your old knob eh?

 

*ten char*

 

Yeah Wild Bill, just like Willy Nelson says, I have out lived my pecker... It would bother me a lot if it hadn't served me so well for as long as it did... If it hadn't worn out I would be out and about chasing around and too broke and wore out to do much of anything else.... Being enslaved by a one eyed snake and liking it just makes no sense when you look back at all of the trouble you get into.

 

but it was fun. Happy hunting with the new one.

 

Funny!!! No further comment...

 

Soo there's a 2009 FA5 Si in Dallas with 39k on it for $15,500 and its worth $19k! It is "pending sale" but I hope it falls thru. If it does fall thru its mine. Dyno Blue Pearl BTW. If that one doesn't work out for me I've found another 08 Taffy White Fa5 Si near here with 57k miles for $17,000...its only worth $15k so I'm going to try and drive em down.
