I'm hoping to be able to con a couple of fat little redneck boys to give me a hand dolling up my car this weekend.... I'm wanting to take out the back seats change out the RPF1s and put on the Final Speed Eraser 16" wheels with 195-45- 16 tires just to see if they are going to work and mess with my exhaust some more.

Sup man? How is that sub enclosure fabrication working out for you so far?
From looking at the samples you provided it looks like that Orange material
should tie-in well with color of you ride. Wait'n for pics.

Spotted one of the bolts on my stock rear wing failing. Duct tape to the rescue I guess, as a Band-Aid fix.

Or...maybe it's time for a new wing?

Your H3 is a great looking rig and I bet it performs well with the I5 and M/T (if I recall correctly). Just keep the Fit, lift it with some coil overs and 205/55R15s (or similar diameter tire) and boost it. Sure it may not climb rocks or go through mud like your H3, but it will be a fun little rally car that is still autocross capable. Thus being multi-purpose vehicle!

I'm new to my Fit, just did the SSR intake yesterday. Still needs to be washed REAL bad after a trip to Cleveland last weekend. Bugs EVERYWHERE. I'll be getting to that this weekend. I'll also be pulling my intake manifold and clearing everything out there in case of buildup.
