I got drums on the rear everybody cause I drive an Econo box.

 

I painted the drums on my 89' Accord and it didn't look tacky. I guess everyone has their own opinion of what's tacky and what adds a 'style' to your car. I say paint them! Mine will be red eventually when the weather breaks!

 

Soon as my warranty's up I'm going for a rear disc conversion, drums are the devil; does anyone know if a teg or si spindle will match up to a ge9?

 

Wouldn't the CRZ's rear disk match? I mean it's the same platform. Oh but the CRZ is 5 lug.

 

Thought there was talk about taking a rear trailing arm assy from a JDM Fit (which has discs), and doing the swap that way.

 

Oh I forgot about the jdm having rear discs, I'll have to check that out. Shoot if we were rocking five lug conversions from the crz on the back though, widen the wheel well with some deeper lips, oh my god that would look pretty sweet

 

our rear axles have the hubs welded, supposedly a kit came out to convert them, i havent seen it done. but u need a jdm rear axle if u want disc the easy way, but idk y any1 wants disc. at how small our drums are, i doubt u save weight. they dont have more braking force, drums do, they warp quicker by design (single clamp spot) drums use a full circle for friction to stop, way stronger. the only thing is heat, but cars front brakes do most the braking, and with a fwd car , like the fit, the rear is extremely light. (i have no rear seats = even lighter) so my rear drums shoes (pads) have lasted 60k miles and i pull the hand brake and slide that bitch! haha i adjusted them once and they work great! if any1 in socal has a rear dics conv, please lets have a brake test to see whos works better????

 

I used it to run over an already dead chiwawa in the middle of the street (saw the road kill at the last second). It had this really creepy death stare on its face..

 

My 92 k1500 has rear drums...

 

I washed mine!

 

New sub in the car. It isn't ghetto boom but it'll still move the mirrors fairly easily.

 

Found out today at work that I'll be taking my fit over to NH on Monday to go to a one day performance Driving school... All In the name of Safety.

I.... LOVE..... MY..... NEW.... JOB!!!!!

~SB

PS. won't be tracking the Fit. rumor has it we're using the small Volvo.

 

Woot! Woot! My kind-a business travel!!! Lucky Dog! Enjoy (arm-twist)

 

haha... i know the creepy feeling.

There was a dead raccoon in the road, with its head facing oncoming cars. You could see the reflection of your headlights in its dead eyes.

Freaky. Thank goodness it wasn't Halloween night, I'd probably shitting bricks (playing Dark Souls at night is giving me the creeps).

 

You guys would love the assortment of skeletal remains and carcasses my dog has decorated my front porch with... I kind of like his efforts at decorating for Halloween but damn if he doesn't smell like a slaughter house.

 

no thanks, I'm already having a hard enough time avoiding the roadkill as it is... that raccoon was huge, I had to swerve around it, cause I was sure it would scrape the bottom of the Fit, leaving fur (and probably flesh and blood) along the bottom of the car.

Speaking of which, when I did my oil change and tire rotation, it looked like the area under the trunk scraped or even smashed on something. The spot where you would normally put the floor jack to raise the whole back end looked partially crushed in. And plastic to either side showed "burs" (like it had scraped something).

I don't recall actually hitting anything.

 

Removed 155 pounds from the fit.

 

Didnt do anything to my Fit today but my Fit vs. a Ford Ranger @ 2mph :

 

"Aw, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. God. Oh, I'm hurt. Oh, my neck, my back, my neck and my back. Oh, I want $150,000, but we can settle out of court right now for twenty bucks."

Doesn't look too bad though, the other driver have insurance?

 

Man, get your punk ass up. It ain't even wet over here. Damn.


Damn Circa. Everything gonna be fixed by insurance?
