I'm doing the same thing, only I'll be driving out of my way over to the Maine Coast to find him - you might get hammered.

JayRoc Stock calipers, what paint did you use? I wanna do that.

Finally got around to trying the downsizing the intake mani runners mod. Cut 1" O.D. PVC pipe into four inch sections and glued them into the upper intake manifold runners. End result was spectacular FAIL. engine lost power across the board, feeling especially strangled on the top end. So out came the tubes and I am happy once more, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

The upper end loss I kind of expected but I thought that maybe there might have been some low to mid range throttle response improvement...

Thumbs up Another Good Road Trip!!

Drove to Richmond, VA and meet up with caeaves-AKA Chris. He picked up the front lip I had for sale and it's going to a repair to his '07 TW Fit. It was great to see a FF in real life know what I mean? We met @ the place were the East Coast Honda Show was off Carolina at RIR. Was a Way Cool ride 64W to 295N. Chris brought a friend and he drove his project EK3 he's a body and paint man and is in the process of pulling it together, it'll be going white with a blue pearl clear a real head turner color. So after talking Honda about 45 mins. shot by and we parted ways to head home.

Well I'll tell ya Chris the color your bud is going to use on his car would look really good on the wifee's Fit. I mean your going to be spraying the whole car and if a little pearl accidently fell into the clear well she might not even realize it's there but when the sun directly hit it BAM blue..... cooool
Good Luck with both projects guys!
Mike

Looking good, I'll be keeping an eye out for pics with them installed.

Just curious, how much does one of those CR93s weigh?

I like them too Hootie... I hope they are heavy as hell or I might have to hide out on a VA psych unit for Christmas in order to afford some like them.... They would make a rusted out 49 Plymouth look nice.

Didn't like those CR93s in blue, but in bright silver they're actually pretty fetching. Nice pickup taFITta.

The rims are pretty light. My wife picked them up and put them away, when they were delivered.

Hmm, that's strange. Can you place one on a scale and post up the weight please? These wheels really have gotten my interest a lot lately.
