took it to the shop today and lowered the front end about a half inch, still gotta get it on the rack for some camber. Also installed my retrofitted headlights from TRS D2S 6000K. pretty happy about how its sitting

 

^^ Looks very good!

I have a question regarding your retrofits... Did The Retro Fit Source install your D2Ss or did you crack open the headlight housings and do it yourself?

 

I did them myself, I had to do some sanding down of the housing because I got the D2S 3.0 version and I noticed the 2.0's had no problems like this. Also I completely replaced the headlights so I took about a week on them to get them right.

 

I've only put about 200 miles on them so far, and being I was taking off Cooper snow tires, any tire would feel awesome. I haven't pushed them on the backroads yet. I did drive home in heavy rain and they handled the water pretty well. They are relatively queit so far. They do "pickup" rocks, which I'm suprised at since the tread wear is high, maybe just because they're still really new? I'm guessing they would be okay for autox, but Star Specs, Rivals etc would be a better choice for ultimate perfomance. I bought them hoping the "high" tread wear rating would give me decent tire life but still a decent DD(good in the rain)/back road fun tire. For autox, from what I've been told the BFG Rival may be the choice for our cars, depending on lot surface in your area. After I get some real miles and some back road fun I'll check back.

 

Went to the race track this weekend and in my class in time attack and got in 3rd place. Would have done better but a turbo fit needs an LSD to come out if corners. Not to mention I was on heat cycled out nto1 and almost corded

 

Heck, I made my front roll rate so stiff I now need an LSD to get out of corners

Surprised you don't already have one! Well done though none the less

 

I was going to buy one but then decided to join a race group that doesn't allow force induction so I'm going k swap with type r LSD trans so I'm spending as little as possible on engine and trans.

On a side note the L15 took all the abuse I gave it. Its been turboed for 4 years and 70k miles. Maybe 5-6000 track miles.

 

NIICE!... I MAY end up with FI... But it puts me into a class where I have to compete against FI B/D/K swapped CRX's and EF's... SO I won't be in a big rush

You kept your boost/#'s pretty standard yea? As in based on the bolt on kit?

 

For a long time it was on the waste gate at 4psi at 131 HP 138 tq. Last fall I got a boost controller and flash pro and now it makes 160hp and 160 tq. Was at 175 but the clutch was slipping on the dyno so I got a new clutch and never went to make more power. The plan was to up the boost till the motor blew and then kswap but like I said don't want to spend any more money on something I'm not gonna have any more

And on a side note. I do know someone selling a complete bolt on kit.

 

Still respectable!

UGH....want...

 

Please buy! I think u already have an intake manifold and flash pro so u don't need those.

 

Yep, got both. Couple of mani's actually LOL. I will be in LA next weekend at El Toro for the SCCA Pro Solo... PM details!!!

 

Has anyone worked with porting the aluminum runners on the stock manifold? I found out the composite plenum has much bigger runners so I bell mouthed the top of the aluminum runner and it now has a howl to it when in full throttle. I wish I had flow numbers to see if it was an actual power increase

 

Well, does it seem to pick up better when running through 2nd and 3rd gear?

Granted porting the runners will mean only a slight power difference, but hey, every little bit eventually adds up!!

 

3rd gear under high load is where it really seems to make a difference. I doubt it's that big of a difference but I am not a fan of the weapon r manifold.

 

Manifolds huh? Trying to sell any?

I'll be at El Toro this weekend as well. What class are you running?

 

Today:

Carbon Fiber Wrapped the "Fit" sticker on top of the auto shifter. It was peeling off (that's why you can see that indentation in the wrap) PS; I need to get that keyhole cover thing.

A month ago:

OFF

ON

It's a lot brighter than the cheap 2 led bulb I had in there, and certainly better than the incandescent that comes factory.

 

Dyno'd the Fit today with the Hondata.
101.9 WHP, 98.5 WTQ
+11 WHP, +10 WTQ

 

Nicely done!

Me and my co driver are registered in the Fit in STF! What are you running? Make sure to catch up and talk Fit!!!

 

I am in STF as well. I'm looking forward to this race. Also running my new wheel and tire combo (Volk RE30 and Bridgestone RE-11 A) as well. Running 10lbs lighter per corner.

I'll be looking for ya to def talk FIT!
