I was rolling on Yokohama S.Drives and am switching over to these this coming Friday. Hope it's quieter. :P

I've been having bad luck with my tires and have had the past two front ones starting to cup. That's the biggest reason why it's louder.

Once I put these new tires on, I'll be balancing and rotating my tires more frequently and see if that helps.

Another reason why I'm move away from the S.Drives is because in the snow, I slide a lot and that makes me nervous... :X

Haha, those will only be used for car meets and car shows. I will be rocking the stock rims on the daily. I was considering getting the Mugen NR's and using them for the Spring through Fall but I'm not sure yet. Maybe next year since I've already spent so much this past couple of months.

Getting my tires mounted and alignment done as I'm typing this. I'm also getting my rear suspension checked out since they are creaking when I drive over speed bumps.

Change the oil. Found out that there is no timing belt on my Fit , so that's 500$ that I will spend elsewhere. Serpentine belt is in perfect shape.

Cleaned the interior/exterior and the engine bay after a long and hard winter.

Ready for summer!

Hi. What kind of bonnet material (wool/microfibre etc) did you use? Also, which polishing compound did you use?
