You two just stay away from my Fit.

Are you saying Wily you can't get it up?

 

so the gf just visited from hawaii over winter break, and we went through a lot of gas! like filled up every other day. but given the conditions, going 95mph everywhere and rushing from work to home and then going out... but the fit is still taking alot of gas even with trying to conserve... is there something im doing wrong? i do have the defrost on, and the heater on alot. but is that really a big impact on mpg? do i need new spark plugs? clean out the air filter? i just changed oil and tire pressure is good. help me out fellow ffers! any winter driving tips? thanks

 

95mph? Going too slow most likely.

 

^ Ditto. Aerodynamic drag is a mofo at that speed plus driving it like a stabbed rat from a dig or in stop and go traffic isn't going to help either.

 

Hell no. I stepped on it walking into the kitchen this morning... I was so tired I forgot to tie it in a knot to keep that from happening again.... I'm glad it's dead or it would have hurt.

 

Installed my Tanabe Front Upper Bar. Freshness.

 

Hahaha awesome.

 

Well see iffin you could get it up you would not be stepping on it.

But if it is dead better go bury it

 

Any comments???

 

Pretty easy install. Had to remove a couple clips holding wiring to fenders. They layed on top no problem. Great fit and bolt holes lined right up with stock locations. Looks great. Have yet to drive do to sleet here, but not expecting much. More for bling factor. I love driving slow.

 

nice you beat me on your PM when you bought it, i'm in the market for one too

 

^^ sorry. Got my eye out now for tanabe rear upper. Then front lower. May have to buy those new?

 

Lol... that's kinda more the driving feeling i wanted to know about... but thanks

 

^^ Ill let you know once I drive it.

 

no that was when she was visiting, i drive normal now but its still eating up alotta gas this winter, idk why

 

Last night I installed some 15x7 +35 Axis OG San meshies. I had some BBS LM replica wheels that didn't look right and were rubbing like crazy. I ended up returning them and picked up some OG's since i've wanted them for a while. Also did the front fender lining mod and I haven't had any rubbing while driving to work.

 

^^pics are allowed right? just to SHOW "what you did to the fit"

if so post a pic to go with that post

 

I "traded" in my Fit for something slower... but gets 55+ MPG!!!



I did put something from my Fit on her, the Fit's old antenna!!




I still have my Fit, but I gave it to my wife since it's paid off and she kinda likes it!

 

Tanabe bar feels good. Not very noticeable as was my Progress rear bar, but still could tell. Worth the Money--Yes because it looks damn good in my bay. Would I have paid the $200+ for the J's----Hell no not that noticeable.

 

I plan on putting on my CF duckbill wing and CF hatch garnesh. Ill post pics after I'm done. And some pics of TFB decals I got yesterday

Wheels arriving Monday! Now would someone please give me some springs so I can feel right about putting the rims on... anyone?
