haha yes, this PAST weekend.

Handles offroad fine, but there were a few moments I thought the car was going to shake itself apart for sure with ominous rattles and creaking

Took it to the Rutland County Fair... on Free Admission night. OH MY GOD was that an experience. It was better than setting up lawn chairs at the entrance to Wal-Mart on black Friday.

No, but it did give me ideas of picking up a 70's Chevy pickup and a cowboy hat.

Serious.

Just got back from our trip to Mississippi, added another 1k miles on the Fit. -sigh-

But it was awesome we averaged 36mpg and made it to Miss from Tyler, TX in about 7 1/2 hours

installed my Flamme Twin Blasters. took me a couple of hours for a 20 minute job. not bad for an electrical noobie. had to zip tie the relay to the frame, since i should have planned first where i was gonna mount it instead of just cutting wire and hoping it would mount somewhere. i'll clean it up some other time, but it works. mad loud!

evil- wat were you getting done again at the body shop?

for me, just drove to work in the rain. i drove pretty spiritedly and not once did the vsa kick in. that said, with very simple parts i think i got this thing dialed in for street. woot!

Installed new stock front calipers this evening. Waited on the gf to come over to help me bleed the lines. Put an order in for some speed bleeders earlier today so I can do myself the next time, went with their SS version. Tried ordering a Phoenix V-12 Pro system the other day, but everywhere is out of stock till supposedly mid-October. At least places that will ship here.
