That's like 30min from where I'm at. I live in Fairfax, but I'm in Arlington with my fiancee 95% of the time.

After I install my rotors and intake (mid to end of december), let's grab lunch?

Cool sounds good, just looked at your thread. Love the Mugen wheels. I've been trying to find someone to trade wheels with. I've got 17x7.5 +40 TE37's. I'm looking for 16" or 15" wheels because I want a meatier tire. Let me know if you know someone interested.

Thank!

Are you on the TrueFitCrew Facebook group page? It's pretty active and I'm sure someone would be interested.

Boo.

Well email me some pictures, specs, and a price on what you want for the wheels and I'll post up for you. That way you'll have more potentially interested people.

MUGEN!

Previous owner of my go-kart must have been a Mugen sales rep. I figure about $8k+ in Mugen parts in it. And he painted it Honda racing white. But why he would do this to an automatic is un-explainable... I was shopping for a cheap standard commuter but the price couldn't be ignored.

I feel too old to drive a car like this and I swear people stare when the see a 6'3 200lb white guy gets out instead of a teenage exchange student. But it does the job and hopefully holds resale value

By the Way, Nice facebook page, some good inspiration pics. New Gen looks pretty good especially with some of the kits available.

That's slightly offensive. But lol. Maybe you should change your car so it looks more suitable for a 6'3" 200 lbs white guy. Whatever that looks like.

I know for a fact i am not the tallest guy to own one but that's commented on the regular. Besides its not quite...

I'm in the same boat. At almost 35 I have to tell people my 16 year old half-Japanese step-son got grounded and I took his car away but have to drive it instead of my car because my car is in the shop. Or I have to make my Asian not-gf ride in the car with me so then I can tell people it's hers instead of mine.

I have around 5inch from the ground on my front bumper and maybe 4-5 inch is the lowest underneath the car.
My HFP axleback is low so maybe i wll put back the stock just to save the HFP. I love my fit in the snow. Right tire pressure and good wintertires are the champ!

can we get a close up of the drivers side transmission mount?

Im curious if they updated their molding process or if you will have to trim that side still.

They are the track (black) 10 bucks more than the street (red) Cost 359.99 and shipping was 35.01 = 395.00

And the springs, just got some Manzo (M2, or megan) for under 100 bucks.
