Why would it come loose after 15k miles on the springs doe?

@J: Nice, I'm mirin' those tires.

In other news:

I took my all-season floor mats out today.

Then I put them in my bathtub and cleaned them off.

I will reinstall them fresh and clean tomorrow.

Feelsgoodman.

I lost a phone washing my floor mats that way, the phone fell out of my pocket somehow into the water. Now I just spray them with simple green and scrub a little bit then rinse them off in the driveway.

Water's got nothing on me.

Hey GD3 crew,
I wiped down the headliner with microfiber and warm water w/ a drop of dawn, and what a difference it made. What got me looking was streaks by the top of the rear door. It was like this is going to be a real mess or it's going to help. I did a small area and then did the whole HL. It was just dust that has settled on the fuzz. I just wiped with the cloth wrung dry and rinsed frequently.

Test drove my Fit with the Ballistic Evo2 8 cell Lithium battery (275 CCA, 1.7 lbs, $135 on eBay), AND installed my $19 shipped genuine leather shift boot from "topgaiters" on eBay thanks to this old thread: https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/gene...-tutorial.html

Looks great and so far the battery is working pretty well.

Just bought an exhaust tip from Norm Reeves Honda in Cerritos California and installed it. Before ordering it, I looked into the stock Turbo Muffler option to see if it was available through special order...turns out it's discontinued. So the exhaust tip was the way to go.

Took out my Mugen rims today and finally put the decals on. Hopefully I can get the tires mounted on them tomorrow.

Can't wait to finally go to car shows now!

I prob won't be putting them on my car unless there is a meet or a show. I'm so nervous of them getting scratched or stolen.

Looks excellent.

I picked up some mounts for the J's GT wing I have sitting around, and ordered some tires for the MS3Rs.

Didn't do anything to it yet, but I placed an order for innovative mounts. I am hoping that I don't have any issues installing them like I have seen on another thread here.

Bro it looks super nice! Bro I would recommend you get the safest lug nuts the gorilla 'the system' locks every single lug is a lock and the key you can only get a replacement when you call them and you give them the serial number of your lock set. Those are the ones I'm putting on my car when I finally get the wheels (can't wait for them to be finished) and of course a Clifford Intelliguard

I wouldn't go by that. I can EASILY get a Gorilla spline key from a local Discount Tire (in fact, I have one somewhere out in the garage) and if memory serves me right here isn't really a varying spline offset as well but I could be mistaken there.

If someone were to run wheel locks, I personally would recommend something a little less common lock design and/or size help protect your wheels from potential theft.

Anyway... Took out the GD3 to another autocross event today. Haven't gotten official times yet but I know I'm consistently within 3 seconds of buddy's ITR (who's running Toyo R888s up front. Hankook Venturas in the rear)... Also may have beaten a modern Boss 302 today. ^.^

Edit: Video is up!

Got the 48 led dome light panel, it won't fit... I was kinda expecting it not to.
I'll probably try to sand some stuff down in the dome light stuff.

+ ordered a bunch of bulbs (Third brake light, parking lights, license plate lights, etc)
and a Honda Fit keychain for myself!

I got some Project Kics R40 NeoChrome lug nuts but I'm not really worried about someone stealing my rims since they're just show rims anyways. I'm just putting them on to go to car shows and meets. The rest of the time they'll be locked up in my room haha.
