Apparently yes. They got it all shampooed the interior, removed watermarks and my headlights were heavily oxidized. I got a shop to do the detailing.

What did I do to the Fit today? I didn't wreck it in my garage! I always back in everywhere and back into my garage. I also have this habit of always setting the e-brake because I'd rather replace brakes than a transmission. Well, earlier yesterday I got home from a 2.5 hour drive and didn't want to pull the e-brake, so I left it in reverse because my garage is alllllmost level. I hopped in this morning and forgot I left it in gear, but, here is where I'm thankful for my other habit. Whenever I hop in and start my cars I always leave the clutch depressed and then I wiggle the shifter, just to make sure I'm in neutral. I'm OCD. Shut up. This morning I go to wiggle it and it doesn't wiggle so thankfully I shift into 1st instead of taking my foot off the clutch and lurching backwards into my garbage cans.

On a different note, I have black center caps with white or silver "Drag" on them. Should I not put on the caps, put them on, or buy some different center caps? I'm thinking all black center caps. With maybe a yellow "H"?

The girlfriend just bought a car! You can see my black fit in the back.


updates on the fit: When I went to go pick up the car with my gf, I got a flat tire. Luckily I had an extra tire at home so it was fairly easy to replace. What a weekend.

The only car I would trade in my fit for is an rsx

NSX would be a dream car, but I'm talking about something I can trade in for and besides that K20A2 ain't bad

Lowered my 07sport black on tanabe df210, installed pioneer touch screen radio and focal speakers, seibon carbon fiber duckbill wing, wellvisors Mugen look a like window visors IMO I like wellvisors look better, nice slim looking and not bulky like the real Mugen ones, cleaned my headlights, that's it for now, more on the way.

Wow 5 days but well worth it.

I cant wait to work on the car all weekend, so many goodies have been coming in but first the baby needs a full detail inside and out. She's been taken a beating this winter.

Dang, I'm running -3.3* on the front.

I was told to go to -3.5* or even 3.7*. We'll be doing more testing over the next few weeks to see where it leads too.

I tried -3.5 my tires were wearing on the inside more than the outside. It was fine but braking likes closer to 0 with more tire contact on the ground. I find -3 is good for me.

Today was my first "mod day" in a while since it was finally over freezing and sunny! So I changed my calipers, added LED DRLs, switched to LED head lights, put in LED reverse lights, switched out my short ram for a DC Sports cold air intake, and installed my JDM folding mirrors.. A fairly productive day if I do say so myself lol

What suspension are you running?

Yeah I stiffened up the rear last week but need to go higher. The Ksports will only handle so much though. I might be switch to there RR struts in the rear to do Front - 10k and Rear - 14K.
