What did you do to the GD Fit today?
compound or wet sand?
thanks
I hate Mondays, but today made it even sweeter. Drove over a steel beam that was in the middle of the highway. It was rush hour and everybody else was doing the speed limit, and by the time I saw it: "BAM!" right on the jaw. Saw a couple vehicles pull over the side of the road because of that.
I already knew it bent something because the car was vibrating but still drove to work because I was already running late. Thankfully it didn't hit my tranny or my pan, but it took a good hit on my subframe. Damage wasn't enough to mess the alignment, but it bent the subframe into my tie bar which is causing the vibration.
Just gonna take it to my buddy's shop on the weekend to borrow his hoist and grind the part off. So for now I guess I'll be playing my music loud.

Raced all weekend and it was a good one. Although I beat myself up the worse with my driving I did really good especially being my first year of AutoX. Got my best time of the day on Sunday during the event last run with a 63.8. This is 2 seconds slower then the fastest STF time (the guy is a fast and excellent driver beating STS and SMF times) and about a second slower then his partner (same car).
This week I have some adjustments to do and the fit should see some fastest times before the year is up.

I went karting this weekend with all of the honda challenge guys and had a blast and its also some good practice.
I just realized today that my front left turn signal light is out (luckily I have my side indicators still working). Why the hell did they make changing lightbulbs so difficult for the Fits? It looks like I have to go through the wheel well? I miss the days of my civic and their 30 second light bulb changes.
I pray the turn signals on my 2012 Civic don't burn out because they are a pain to get to. Also through the wheel well, but now you have to unclamp an intake hose somehow. I'll take the Fit's turn signals over the Civic's any day.
Not today but in the past moths and days

Thanks Previc93. Yep the driver mod is the toughest to dial in haha.
take time to install, the e-brake have a seal or something like that do not fit perfect in my opinion for the price is not a good option but the improve in braking I love it.
I just called Fastbrakes and they said that it's a Nissan rotor

Installed my exhaust system. Weapon-R race header paired up with Spoon b-pipe and axle back. Sounds really nice. Have to drive it around for a bit to see if there's any difference on the butt dyno.
On the side note: regarding that incident that I posted above, earlier I found out that it also left a dent on my passenger side wheel and a tiny bulge on my tire. Both inner and outer side, as big as a quarter.
So I might save up and get a new set of wheels/tires next year.

Change that tire asap. A bulge in the tire is serious. It can puncture at any moment driving.
I'm parking the car soon, and now contemplating of changing my wheel/tire set-up next year.
Yeah a bubble in a tire is dangerous. The tire is toast. Its basically the inner tire liner coming through the separated steel belt plies. No bueno.
