You could also buy another set of PF01s/RPF1s with that money saved...

 

even if you buy 2 or 3 sets of those it's still not a te

 

took the 09 GE to the dealer for major service in prep for winter and next couple of years of ownership.

the 12 GE rests at home. depending on the landscapers at work today, i may or may not drive the 12 to work tomorrow.

 

Very true. If you can get another set for similar pricing, please let me know.

 

Today I found out that none of the auto supply stores in town carry Aerospace 303 and
most of them never heard of the product...

Lexington Ky is only about 20 miles away, I know of at least one place there that
carries the product.

I will probably pickup the product when I take the Acura in for a half (drive) shaft
replacement later this week. ( Assuming I have any money left...)

just order it from amazon.

Not today but yesterday I took the fit out with a bunch of S2k's for some canyon runs and she got beat a bit, but I hung with buddy in his S2. Unfortunatly the tires are not shot

 

But then you're stuck with PF01/RPF1, that's a situation one should never put themselves in.

 

going down hill you should be able to keepup with the S2K's given you have sticky tires, MT, and know how to drive.


got my 09 GE back from the dealer. feels good, again. the brakes especially.

 

Been so busy I haven't even gotten to read this board in the last 10 days. I've been doing a lot of driving actually, and I love the car more and more each day. It needs some Konis or something though, eventually. If it did, then wow.. I'd be so happy with the handling/ride comfort ratio. It's so comfy with the swifts!

 

the ride home in my 09 GE was honestly enjoyable. my 09 is AT and im not an AT person at all especially during the day driving, but i was tired and the Fit treated me well.

when i got home i cleaned up the interior using my interior duster. will check over the dealer's work tomorrow morning.

i then proceeded to my '12 GE which is MT and just sat there worked on my smartphone cradle and some other minor stuff. going to drive it to work tomorrow am and im excited.

 

mad dash prepping for the long drive to NJ for WEKFEST. here's what was done today...

change the oil. o'rielly ran out of 0w20 so I opted for 5w20. also bought a huge can of fix-a-flat just in case.

did more fender job and massaging...

problem after fender roll where the bumper and fender meet... screw holds the two in place and a bracket in the inner well holds the fender making it unable to be pulled on that area...

this was the result... tire hitting on the metal fastener... tire also did a number on the liner after dropping .75" more...


a little bare-hand masssaging and pulling... fixed! you do need to address the inner well bracket close to the chassis.

and now she sits comfortably... also trimmed the mangled parts of the liner...

 

Ordered new front calipers. By the way the JDM and USDM have different part numbers for the front calipers. It seems my driver's side front caliper piston has some sabi (rust) and is sticking at times which in turn was heating up the wheel to the point that it screwed up the wheel bearing. Replaced both front bearings and luckily just putting the part # into an online Honda parts place stateside, it saved me about $170 and I'm glad I didn't just order the Fit Sport calipers assuming they were the same part. Was thinking of going with the J's front brake setup, but it would not allow me to use any of my 3 sets of wheels and would need to order 2 new sets to fit them. My wallet told me to piss off on that one, so instead just ordered 2 new stock calipers. I will also rebuild the other calipers when they are off and just have them on stand-by for the next time.

 

 

drove my '12 to work. was a fun drive. also test drove the 'fix' i did on my kid's recaro booster seats.

more on this in my blog.

 

I have huge amounts of dislike for both of those wheels.

RPF1's are on 1/2 of all modded cars out there (That aren't on Rotas/XXRs/Varrstoens)

PFO1 are just straight up ugly.

 

I don't disagree both are semi-fugly, and when you see them on a hard-parker I don't get it. When I see them on a track or performance car tho, I appreciate it.

 

rpf1's vary in looks with the offset and size so i too can't say i like the look of them in all sizes.

but yah, for a track car, it's pretty good looking, i think. honestly though, i prefer weds or rays for lightweight wheels.

 

Well who wouldn't???
