What did you do to your GE fit today?

Just bought another set of camber bolts for the front, and I picked up some grade-8 washers and bolts for the rear hubs to get some negative camber back there too.
Also, might have a fix to remove the CDV. Stay tuned. I think I found a suitable replacement master cylinder.

You have to use shims on the rear wheels.
You can't go too far either, due to the ABS trigger wheel being on the bearing. I think you can go -2 safely.

I mean't to post this yesterday, so here's what I did....washed the car, clay barred the Fit, then applied Klasse All in One and finished it off with Klasse Sealant Glaze. You have to wait 12 hrs to apply the second coat due to the fact its acrylic based, so I'll need to wipe it down due to the fact that it rained here to day and the car sat in the driveway and I'll apply the second coat, I love Klasse products

I drove 450 miles round trip yesterday to Michigan and back. Avg 39 mpg. Not too shabby considering we had real high winds yesterday evening on the way back. Today washed the road grime off and detail waxed the Fit and the TSX.

I washed my car yesterday and parked in the barn planning to do the clay bar and wax thing today but it has been looking like it'll rain and even indoors there is sand all over the car.... I will rinse and chamois it down before I drive it if the weather changes..... I did put a black velour dash cover on it today..

You are into carbon fiber and it is cheap trashy velour for me..... It is almost impossible to find anything made of carbon fiber for a Fit at J.C.Whitney.

I like certain carbon fiber parts...a little bit of a touch of class doesn't do anyone any harm. I like carbon fiber lips and spoilers so eh, what's the diff? I grew up in the jdm and cf whoring days of modifying.

20 years ago I had a carbon fiber fishing rod, some golf clubs and a Trek 2800 mountain bike.... I don't have to tell you where they are now. The first guy I saw drop his car had me squirting water on his 60 Impala gas tank while he torched his rear coils until they sagged and the frame was resting on some wooden blocks.... I think he later had Moon disk wheel covers and full length lake pipes....That was 4 years before I ever saw a Japanese car and 2 years before I saw a Honda and it was a red 150 Dream motorcycle with whitewall tires.
