Freshly washed

 

Finally got to push it through my favorite cloverleaf and came away very impressed. Was doing about 55mph and definitely could've pushed more, but I try to keep the tires from squealing and bringing unneeded attention lol.

That's only 5mph less then I could take it in my old WRX, and 7mph less then what I could take it in my Miata.

 

Installed a Takeda attack Intake and I had some Titanium bolt and washers left over from another car that I recycled on the fit.

 

Mounted my new Enkeis today.

 

Pics or, of course, it didn't happen.

 

Will snap some after wash/wax tomorrow

 

Is that intake made for a GE? How does it work and did you get any MILs?

 

Yeah it is made for the GE but MT only I didn't notice any difference in anything other than engine sound.

 

I bought my Fit on Monday, but high winds, New Mexico is known for them, didn't let me wash it until today! So I washed it, parked it. Then my neighbor goes and turns his sprinklers on too high and sprays my car with hard water!

 

Got my red door fabric will install on Monday. Also got the jazz led 3rd brake light I installed that but did it by myself so no pics.

Also picked up some continental dws 205/50/16s excited but I don't need them till August. Just wondering if anyone can answer this. For the stock oem sport wheels with tpms. Do they just swap the tires and that's it it will continue to work or is there more to it when replacing stock tires

 

Traded this:

why? the fit is awesome...

 

I had it full of cargo way more than I had passengers, and I was ready for something different. I got a great deal on the truck and they offered more than I was expecting on trade in.

 

Get ready to start buying gas at an alarming rate as you get half the mpgs of the Fit.

 

Actually the gas tank is more than twice as big, so I won't have to buy gas as often.

 

But you'll pay twice as much.

 

It gets 19mpg hwy though with a 26 gallon tank. thats 494miles most people on here can get close to that with only 10.6 gallons.

Edit: Im not saying you dont need a truck but I think everyone makes the mistake of just assuming they need a full sized truck. These days I dont think anything that gets 14mpg city should be anyones daily driver.

 

When gas goes back to four bucks a gallon be prepared to pay $104 for those 494 miles, where the Fit would have cost you $62 for the same distance. Nice looking truck though. Enjoy!

 

I come from a family of GM owners. Silverado is a great truck. Drive it and enjoy it. If there are some good places near where you live, I would go for a little off road adventure. If you can pay for it, who cares how much gas it uses? That's what I think anyways.

 

I like your Venza I got one the same color
