Posted this on my thread, but also wanted to throw it on here!


Today was a beautiful day. A perfect day for my RPF1's and Direzzas to arrive!




My race car doubles as the hauler:



Weight (compaison, Honda oem 16-inch alloys weighed 37.2)




The money shot:



I took them for a quick spin around the neighborhood then got them off the car. We're going to have some cold rainy crappy weather for the next week or so, and these are going to be for track/autocross only.

 

Looks Good! are those 15 or 16's?

 

Man you seriously need for those bars to arrive... Those sticky tires are going to put some unbelievable lateral Gs that will have the unit construction body flexing like it is a suspension component... Very serious rubber..

 

15's for better acceleration. The Honda alloys that I use for daily driving are 16's.

 

Screw the tires...

Tell us more about the forward facing turbo v-band clamped to the water/air core behind them!

 

How the hell did you notice that?!

 

To be honest the TiAl wastegate caught my eye before anything else. People don't V-band charge piping or use W/A on 4-bangers unless they have some serious numbers in mind!

 

Yeah, i run 16s on mine and they weigh a little less than 31 pounds thats why i asked.

 

...took my Fit back to the dealer to be accessorized
and detailed.

Nothing much really, just the body-side moldings and
the wheel locks. The all around tint (except windshield)
has already been done.

They gave me a new 2011 Honda CR-V for the evening
and tomorrow... which I really like. I think they knew this
and are hoping I will pop on it.

 

What do you have in a 16 that weighs less than 31lbs???

 

I'm curious too.

In other news... due to the rain the past few days, my "caps" are crusting over!!! (some more than others).

One train of thought was... let all of them crust completely over, sand them down lightly to get even coverage, then cover it with some clear laquer for some "ghetto" look (maybe potential thieves won't think the wheels are worth much, hehe).

The other train of though is to get new caps, add a little color and then seal it.

 

Koing Lightning 16x7 205 +42 weighted them when i put them on 31lbs with tires

 

re-did the vacuum lines... in red

might soon add a T barb and see how it goes

 

Installed my JDM folding mirrors

 

Lightly tinted my tails.

No pics right now, you can go ahead and curse me under your breath, I understand.

 

where did you picked up the mirrors from? pics or it never happened.

 

Just bought my 2011 Sport on Monday with 26 miles on it. Went to the in-laws for dinner and hit a deer on the way home. It had 76 miles on it and $2112.06 worth of damage, none mechanical. Body shop will have it until the first week of april so I will be sure to post pics when it looks good again. In the mean time I have been loving the forum. I took the advice of others and bought the all season floor mats with the cargo tray, trunk cover, HID headlights (which were adjusted 3.5 FULL turns up, same with the fogs), Ordered yellow Lamin-x for the fogs (thanks for the outstanding write-ups!) and finally I lengthened the usb and mounted it next to the 12V outlet near the driver's side cup holder (I'll post pics of that as well). Thanks again for everyones direct/indirect help!!!
