I didn't drop it that extreme like you see else where, just a bit lower than lowering springs.
My old car was really slammed, and I cracked the oil pan going over a manhole. Never again.

in all seriousness though, I would excpect more from someone so high in the community. The comment wasnt all that witty or rofl, someone could just as easily tell you to go post about how much your car doesnt work on a daily basis. Alot of people respect what your doing, but no need to shit on everyone else, trends live and die, but dont succumb to ripping on your fellow fit family members.

Legally they're only allowed to void it, if your aftermarket part caused the issue. The problem... dealers will attempt to blame your part often enough. Some springs are more accepted than others.

As for the rims... are you talking about the TPMS? That indicates whether you have low air pressure in the tire. Some wheels aren't compatible with them. Or, are you talking the odometer? Where the overall size of the tire can change how quickly or slowly the odometer counts the miles (accuracy).

SORRY FOR BEING LATE!!!! I did mean the TPMS, but now that you mention it what the hec is that think in the middle for with the odometer that goes from 0 to 40 to 80???? I dont care but i would like to kno

That's the instant MPG. What the car's ecu is calculating as the MPG at that moment.

The big number is the "lifetime" MPG, at least since the last time the mileage trip counter was reset.

Got the floor mats and air deflector today. My Acura TSX homelink has been installed. LOVE having the ability to turn on/off the map lights with the doors.

This is what I call fun! Even though I ultimately called it a failure it was still the best 2 hours of my week because it was a creative challenge. I said to myself "I want to force cold air to be drawn through the removable cowl insert and I want to do it in the most ghetto-rigged fashion possible". I looked around my garage and then it just happened. Beats the crap out of playing xbox.

so low I don't know what to do about it:



Measured ground clearance: 2.5 inches

Warning: Objects may appear lower than they really are due to fat chicks in the backseat.

c'mon now. Masking tape? I expect better from you Lyon. Duct tape is in order here. and that scoop sticking out the top. that needs to be bent down forwards and duct-taped to the hood so it doesn't flop around and so you can really "ram air" down into the intake.

Plus.. Folgers? Really? I mean REALLY? I understand that the new maxwell house plastic cans have an "integrated handle" so they won't work but couldn't you at least find some 8-O'Clock Bean?

~SB

PS. I LOVE IT! Next step, take two 2x4's and cut them to 1' in length, then use them as extensions to move your Fit's rear wing 1' up higher for better down-force.

You really need to start a thread called "Lyon's Ghetto shit thread"

Was it really that low because of the fat chic in the back??

Looks nice even though I know it aint your cup of tea

It's not that I don't like being low. I even like the way it looks alot of the time, I just don't like the culture that goes with it.

Normally I have a sane 4-4.5 inches of clearance but 500 lbs of women in the back reduced it significantly.

You get your women at Costco too? Is that a 4 pack? 2? Or one "economy sized?"
