I should of had mine re-valved for such as they were just rebuilt in January, but whatever. There is always a next time. Please leave feedback on these in your own thread (you do have one, right?).
Hey bud, Thanks for the compliment. I'm actually swapping to custom swift springs in exactly what you listed. 14K/12k.

Sweet. I just contacted the company about their rear big brake kit they have listed for the Fit. Says unable to use the side brake, but wondering if that is because the USDM Fit doesn't come with rear discs. Wouldn't happen anytime soon, but if it works with my side brake, it might just happen in the future with a Ti finish. I'm a sucker for Ti and carbon, but if I get those in Ti, means I might just have to get new fronts in Ti as well. DAMN THIS GAME OF BEATING ON YOUR CAR IS FUN, BUT A WALLET KILLER.

Actually want to read up more on their brake kits and see how people rate them.

Lol. I hear you. Next thing to cross off is maybe a new rim and tire combo. Planning on stuffing 225/45/15 this go around. Then in june the roll bar gets welded in.

Stuffing, they'll fit. My new CEs will utilize 225/45R16 up front, camber is a friend. Looking forward to seeing your exploits out on circuit. Hell, I'm looking forward to my own exploits out on circuit. I should be hitting up Fuji full course April 29th, need to sign up tonight before all slots are taken. This is one circuit I wasn't really interested in doing with the Fit, because of the 1.5km long straight and no power Fit would put me to sleep, but with the rebuild, it will still be slow, but not agonizingly slow.

haha, just hope to whoop up on some of the American owned Skylines. Though if I do, then they will never come back out probably, bad enough on a kart event held just for Americans last weekend, people didn't come out because my time was fastest of the month and they didn't want to lose (which they would have as I took first). HOW WEAK IN THE MIND IS THAT?

Lol, I can understand that. I've talked with people who drop out of time attacks, because hours ago they couldn't pass me during open lapping. I try to stay humble, but I laugh a little on the inside.

Not because they gave up, but because of the weak mindset.

Also the very second they hear the VTEC cross over they immediately know I'm not stock.

I'm just like "bro...you have an ITR."

You can usually find these types gathered in parking lots talking about driving, versus actually driving.

Apologies in advance Cinderellas if this glass slipper fits you.

Give me a few crates of diapers then, because this baby needs that teet in his mouth.

Haha I' just joking. I just checked out your videos they are awesome.
Racing is my Forte. I started with lapping aswell and still love it. There is nothing better than racing against 50 other cars or so.

I don't race my fit though

Very nice sounding EF you had (have still)? Yeah, I thought you were just joking around.

Much appreciated, but I kind of wished I had my old 5R Teggy or even the AP2 that followed it. The Fit is what it is, slow and fun, unless you go the Coco way and drop a K into it. One day maybe that will happen with mine, but in the mean time, the built up L should bring a few more smiles to my face when out on circuit.

Damn,...

The second store at "Global Rakuten" also REJECT payment by US credit card
for the Mugen LED Fog Light (for the Rear JDM Fit RS Lower Under Spoiler)...
They either want Japanese Credit Card or Direct Bank Transfer
this sucks...

why they even listed their item at Global Rakuten if they don't accept International Credit Card ???

I need to use my rakuten point asap before they expired...

this is another set back... oh well...

How much was the rear fog going for? I'm looking on the Japanese Rakuten and it is showing as ¥51776 shipped.

Everyone's posting all the new stuff they're doing, so figured I would share what I've been working on. Few of you have already seen, but for the rest here's a teaser of what's coming.
