except mine failed over 3 weeks ago!!! gahh, it took almost two weeks to see the dealer for the inspection and then over a week for the part to arrive.

on a similar note, the guy pulling my car to the front gave me a compliment, saying he liked the way it was setup (lowered, wheels, tint&visor). *thumbs up* took a moment for my brain to process what he was saying though. lol.

like the TSB for the 2009, settings 1-3 wouldn't work... only full blast would blow. which, of course, blew.

I noticed it the day after I visited the Dragon... on my way up to NY.

Yeah my advisor and the tech complimented the intake, sound system, and the shift knob. Can't wait to see their faces when I get the new item on next week.

actually, to be honest, I don't know what exactly he was talking about... that's just what I assume... I only have a few mods.

I honestly feel that they get so many Fit's that are driven by old people or kids that don't know what the fuck they are doing that when they see someone that has added to the car and done things to make it unique then they kinda lighten up and appreciate it more. You gotta remember these people deal with old people in fits, men in accord's that don't know what the fuck they are doing, soccer moms in Odysseys, and ricer eff-heads in Si's.. (no offense to anyone who owns any of these cars. Just stereotyping ). So when they see something that has a little heart and soul in it I feel like they appreciate it.

Didn't get the tires a week back or whatever it was, just had them put on today, had to wait about 4 days till the shop got them in stock. The other 2 tires I had up front (prior rear) went back to the rear and 2 fresh AD08s up front. Tomorrow morning about 4:30 I will head over to Osaka to J's Racing to have the new sussy put on and alignment done. The new lower arms with J's roll center adjusters and some Axis camber bolts will go on at the same time. Looking to lower maybe 15~20mm more from the 25mm down point of the Honda Access sussy.

Oh not much...

New front tires Yokohama Avids on the stock steel 15" base fit wheels. Got 31k out of the stock rears.

Then I drove home and installed Eibach Pro springs, Cusco front strut brace, Denso cold plugs and Progress rear sway bar. Thats about it.

Didnt get around to mounting the add on outside temperature gauge. Funny I didnt feel like doing more after nearly 8 hours of installing stuff by myself. Oh well gotta leave something to do, right?

Back to the tire shop in the morning for an alignment.

Finally got around to installing my Front Strut Tower bar...Not too bad of an install just a few adjustments that needed to be made before it would fit correctly. Looks pretty good and a notice an improvement in handling. Now if I can only find time to install the rest of the crap in my garage...

Rear Sway Bar
Rear Strut Tower Brace
Oil Catch Can
Radiator Hoses
Rear Mud Flaps
CF Vinyl...

I think thats it...

I have a mess of things in the barn, living room and closet that I need to install also... Not much room under the hood anymore so I am going to have to be creative.

You have no Idea. My wife sent me a photo of my son getting off the bus for the first time and I got teary-eyed. It's incredible how quickly it goes.
