This is dependent on tire type/width and wheel width as well as driver preference. If you've got all seasons or even high performance summer tires I wouldn't run pressures as low as 555 is running. You WILL overheat/mangle the tread with pressures that low if you do any serious driving, especially on track, somewhat on street if you're pushing hard enough long enough. The car will feel better for a few laps then dive off a cliff when they get hot. Club rubber is different and can handle the heat better and has stiffer sidewalls to make up for the lower pressure.

32-38 are good all season pressures. I run 36 all around but I have a little bit oversquare tire setup and like a neutral car.

OEM recommended tire pressures are usually recommended that way to induce understeer at the limit, which they feel is safer for the general public than oversteer. I have no idea why the recommended pressures for the Fit are so low, car feels like crap like that and it always pisses me off when the tire shop sets the pressure that low, and i'm driving home like wtf is this BS?

Of course lots of personal preference here.

 

I was able to install the grill with the help of jinnjuice and was able to install the lip on Sunday.

 

Looks good, what issues you have?

 

Personal preference, I like the rain snow visibility with yellow light and at 55watt there is no lack of output.

I have a 35 watt 6000k set and it lights up road signs and cops like you wouldn't believe hah. May get another set of 55watt bulbs to switch seasonally or just as backup.

 

Nice work!

 

Thanks, Charlie.
Was out for long drive Sunday in high winds up to 100 mph it really seems to help with stability. I also removed the rubber seal from the hood near the windshield to allow more air to come up and over windshield.

 

Well wasn't thinking of going that aggressive, more like low 30s in the front and mid to high 30s in the rear, just to experiment. But thanks for the warning!

Yeah, oem pressure is annoyingly low. OE tires are crap as well. It's weird that they made a car capable of good handling and then paired it with such an awful setup.

Doh I forgot that you don't have foglights. Fair enough then. Would be interesting to see side by side output of the 3000k and 5-6000ks in your projectors though. Cops here don't have a problem with 6000k lol.

 

The Fit really isn't all that capable.

Just light weight and decent steering feel, that's what makes it feel funnish around corners.

 

Pretty sure the recommendation of 33 is set up for whatever they believe is the "right" balance between FE (so-so), handling (barely) and comfort (most likely primary). Considering what I believe is the actual target demographics for the car... aka, old fogies and people that generally don't give a shit about "handling", it seems about right.

Personally, I run mine either 36 or 38, which ever I feel like at the moment I'm putting air in (which isn't often since they hold air pretty well). The DWS sidewalls are a little soft.

 

with my new 205s, I use 38 front and 40 rear. if I go to the tracks, I use 32 front and 42ish rear

Type of tire and whether it is stiff or soft walled makes a difference in my psi choice

 

Curious, what do your pressures rise to when out on track? I easily gain up to 10psi up front and around 6~7 out back when I am out on circuit, reason I do run so low to start.

 

Yeah, old emblem had a big crack beneath. After the back emblem got stolen, I sold the grill to J1n. JDP is on the way.

 

Yeah i'm curious about that rear pressure, though i'm sure the rear doesn't heat nearly as much as the fronts do. What tracks do you run out in Texas? I'm curious what they're like and will Google them lol


555 what tires are you running?

 

I know this is old but where can I get one of these decals??

 

On track Advan A050s. Daily AD08Rs.

 

Decal dude used to make these second gen style ones, but he's not around anymore. Vinylstatus will make custom decals on pretty cheap tho.

 

Wow serious business! I suppose you don't drive as far as we do here in the states though lol i'd be changing tires every three months.

 

Just picked her up from the body shop after my run in with a deer a few weeks back. I will install my center console tonight and i have an appointment to get tints done saturday!

 

Came home to this:

Which was housing these beauties:

 

Hey Nicotine you still around here? I wanna see some new pics of your Lexus Pearl White Fit!!!!!
