Is yours lowered? Mine is on Swift Springs... And I was following behind an SUV. Must've been an interesting sight.

I was going into places that other SUVs and minivans were stopping and making U-turns to avoid! With good reason. At one point, I got water to WASH over my hood.

edit: thinking back... that was some stupid shit for me to drive through that!!! but i made it.

This was actually a couple of days ago, but I'm just getting around to posting it.

I moved my external XM radio module and re-routed all cables under the dash (I was using the vent clips supplied with the unit -- didn't want to occupy and partially cover the vents up any longer). I drilled a hole just above the center dash vents just large enough for the wiring and ends to fit through, and mounted the module there (exact center-top above the center vents).

I also finally figured out which plug to disconnect in order to complete the AC/Defrost disable mod... thanks to another forum member. (Thanks go out again to ohw for his time, photos and help )

So that's my Fitting duties for today... uh... err... the other day. Better late than never.

New Pics of Stock Rims with crappy camera on a horrible weather day, they look so sick in person. Took it for 1st drive today, got comments at both of my stops about them looking good from random people.

Got a chance to work on an '09 GE8 Navi today, click here for the full post...

Long story short, after 2 1/4 hours of balancing tires, running around for nuts, and mounting them up resulted in this.

Took off front plate. I noticed the frame left a small crack on the bumper too. Anyone else notice that? I've only had the car for about a month and a half.

Bought locking gas cap to be installed during lunch outside office.

Called dealer to schedule recall service for springs.

Admired the way it looks, again.

Passed 8800 miles.

Pulled my sub out of the Fit so I'd have the extra room for the road trip this weekend. Buddy has it wired in with his sub now in his RSX type-s.

Can you say overkill much?

Ordered Denso Iridium Racing IK01-24 plugs since the weather is warming up and they should be at my door on Monday evening. I used these same plugs in my old 5R Teggy, which was definitely more beastly than the Fit. The current Iridium Power's IK22 (1 step warmer) will be put on the shelf for the next winter. J's actually recommend using 24Denso or 8NGK plugs with the reflash. Not expecting any ridiculous gains, but with the warmer weather just around the corner that means BEATING on the Fit in the winding roads and hopefully circuit and that 1 step colder plug will be a good thing overall.


Comparison photos of the 2 Denso, Racing left and Power right...obviously it says so right on them.

Ive had the chance to experiment with many plugs. I only run copper since i inspect my plugs every couple hundred miles. The best successs ive had with least pinging off the ground strap (which is remarkably common with this engine under boost) are with the ngk R5672a-8 projected nose plugs. These suckers are Frigid.
