Well, last week I maxed out my buddyclubs and took a collar out of the rears, yet it still rakes:


Yesterday I finally cut my front bumper tabs off and vacuumed.

I have the BC N+ too. Love 'em. Gotta keep in mind they're designed for racing tho, not slamming, so when you try and go as low as possible you run into these problems. I'm maxed out in back w/ the collars still in and I'm ALMOST on bump stomps. You must be sitting on them w/ a collar out.

Nice! I don't mind a little rake on the setup.

I need to take the collars off in my rear because my booty sits a little more up than I would like and I've noticed that the rear springs feel insanely stiff so I think taking the collars off will give it some more room to actually absorb something at the height I'm at. Not even close to having these things maxed out.

And don't mind the snow. I have no garage.

That pic makes me wanna get some ivtec stickers for my fit.

Nothing new to the fit, but Santa brought me a polisher for Christmas! Also waiting on time to install some ambient lighting!

If I fill up right when the light comes on I can just get 9 gallons in. With a 10.6 gallon tank that means you have over a gallon left right when the light comes on. I usually go 20 more miles when the light comes on before I fill up.

Why do that? You live at a gas station?

The light comes on when you still have about 1.5 gallons left. He was fine.

Holy crap. What camera are you using. This is a sick as hell picture and makes your fit look sexy!

At first I was like and then I was like when I saw that was in Celsius, that's crazy. Some of my thermal equipment at work doesn't even want to force down that cold and yours is natural!

Was about to wash my filthy car, and decided instead of cleaning the wheels, I'd go get the rotas mounted. ha! So I ran around the corner to discount tire and had them do so. I'll clean her up later and post some pics. New camera on the way too. Looking forward to snapping more shots of the car. They said they couldn't leave my rear spacers on, for liability reasons. Bummer. Will have to jack her up and put those on tomorrow when it's light out. I haven't had aftermarket rims in a long time. So much for growing up.

Quick wash, but ran out of finisher for the wheels, so it looks kinda junky. Slipstreams btw. Hope to take some actual good pictures soon.

I guess I'm the only one doing things to my fit right now.

Interior progress shot. Just added the carbon meter trim, and window switch panel covers. I didn't order vent piece to see how I like it with a more subtle look. The carbon knob helps tie it together, and I'm very pleased. Sorry the carpet is dirty. Everything else is clean, at least.

In all fairness, the carpet is VERY hard to keep clean.
