What did you do to your GE fit today?
02-17-2015, 08:16 PM
The CE28Ns that I ordered back in October, finally arrived yesterday.
Will be running 225/45 (f) and 205/50 (r).
Kaz from J's messaged me yesterday and asked, "Chris do you want more power?" Does that even need to be asked?
And now my bottom end is going to be bored .25mm over as well, another slight increase in power should be the result. Going to add a bit more time, but I've been waiting for over 2.5 months already, maybe another 3 weeks. Getting antsy thinking about how much better it is going to feel like on circuit.

The only thing is with the Sti lip you have to kind of mold it and the Sti lip sits flat while the front 12-13 bumper goes up in the middle. So you would need to drill holes into the center garnish in order to bend the lip to fit.
I just don't want to drill holes into the garnish for an eBay lip. But you should try it out the Sti lip is cheap enough to practice with. Maybe there is an option to not drill holes through the garnish.

It's about $130 shipped from japan and the lips are about $330 shipped from japan.

even more so for the v-spec lip with the winglets. Just make sure you get a soft one, you bend the lip to fit the Fit(haha) anyway, since it's a bit wider; I've seen a couple 12-13 Fits rocking the STi lip

Installed my Cusco Lower Arm Bar V2 Today
Took it to my mechanic to get it done. It was too cold to try to do it myself. When he got under the car, he didn't even have to remove any of the under panels to get at it.
Had him take a look at the Cusco V1 again. The creaking is much less, only when its cold start and I shift from Park to Drive/Reverse, and when I hit a big bump. Visual inspection of the bar itself shows no damage or scratches. Its not even dented. Pretty damn solid. The mount is still solid too.
Anyway, loving how the car drives now. Feels more "Go Kart" and the damn fronts stay planted now taking sharp turns. Steering feels more responsive too and less squirrely on the highway. All that combined with Cusco Front Strut Bar is the shiz. Now one day maybe ill get the Front Sway Bar, but the install looks like a bitch... and labor for that would be $$.

so you will keep your version 1 installed on your car?
and
do you have the CR-Z under panel cover?
if you have, do the Cusco Version 1 interfere with the CR-Z under panel cover?
Thanks
