I don't know about more power from a SR. I've heard of/seen/read about some retardedly powerful turbo K series. Then again, I've seen 500+ WHP cavaliers, so almost anything is possible given the time and budget with almost any engine.

Almost looks like a Miata front bumper cover.

Just Ordered (and Paid) for Takero's Carbon Fiber Rear Wing Add On from JapanParts.com

Hopefully Takero's still made them (or have them in stock)

Will know for sure in a day or two after Japan Time turn Monday Morning again.

Today... I scratched up one of my enkeis.

I was being stupid and paying attention to something else, drifted towards the curb... And there went my wheel.

Sigh

Goobers, that sucks, and I know the feeling. Sometimes its a good excuse to change out that part to something you like even more, though.

Today I washed my car and for the first time used a microfiber towel to dry it. No water spots, and last week's wax job still looks nice.

Then I realized that the Mother's Foam wheel cleaner that I bought was actually spray on wax. I always do that.

I will take some pics of it later, I still need to wash my other car

Wash and waxed both cars again this week. Hopefully no rain this week so they will keep clean.

Yes, it definitely does suck.

I had originally bought these because the ones I really wanted were the Enkei RPF1 Type II, but they were a bit more expensive... and still are. There aren't really any other designs I like that are also lightweight.

So, I guess I'll just stick to these. While the lip is scratched, it isn't bent.

On another note... I finally got to doing my maintenance. It was a B-1-3, but I didn't know what the 3 was. I decided to leave that for later.

Raised the car, did the oil change and rotated the tires (and add air to any tire that might need it). My stomach started hurting just as I started doing the rotating, so I rushed through it. Finished putting car back together, cleaned up, put things away and tried to calm my stomach down.

Then I decided to look up what the 3 was... change transmission fluid. Funny, I was staring at the transmission and wondering where the bolt was as I waited for the oil to drain.

Well, I didn't have any transmission fluid anyway.

Back to the scratched wheel... it required the least amount of air. Though, they all were pretty close to what I normally kept them at anyway (34-36 of 38 psi). Not bad, considering I hadn't touched them since middle of winter.

Didn't do anything....

Hey Freaks - wazzup?

Been on other trails for a while and figured I'd drop in to catch up. Only things new on my FIT is it's been up and down the East coast a few more times since I was last here. And it needs a wash and a good vacuuming.

Looks like the crowd's gotten a bit larger.

Well, it wasn't today but...

Last weekend I "with some help" but the cusco rear sway bar on my ge8. It has less than 1000k on it and I haven't made a payment yet.

I am hoping to get some pics up soon.

Thanks. That is just an optical illusion (hitch and ex-tip lined up at that photo angle)
