That looks quite righteous. Will have seats from the FD2R Civic inside to match the red/black?

The seats have been an open debate for a while, but I think what's coming will be pretty cool in my opinion. Always room for change and improvement worst case scenario.

I got frustated with the vendor who sell Mugen Fit RS LED fog light on Rakuten,
so I decided to use my point at Rakuten by buying the J's Racing Brake Master Cylinder...
from J's racing rakuten store policy, it looks like they do not mind accepting US Credit Card...
hopefully this time everything went smoothly and I can use my over $120 worth of Rakuten point

I will buy the Mugen LED foglight later when I have extra money by using Buyee...
much easier eventhough I had to pay extra for the buying service...

Here is the item that I order:
jsracing | Rakuten Global Market: GE8 prior period and late VSA for HC master cylinder with.

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...
Yeh some of them dont accept foreign cc. See if they take paypal.

If u set ur shipping country to japan all jp vendors will pop up. If u set it to usa, only vendors that are willing to ship to the usa will appear. Deductively, they will accept foreign cc too and paypal.

I also made the material deposit, and scheduled the date to have my custom 4 point roll bar made, and welded.

These also came in the other day.

These are beautiful...what brand are they?

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.
Yes I still have it and race it . We run endurance races so we have 3 drivers.
Your fit is awesome,Driving a slower car fast is far better than driving a fast car slow my friend. Just like you I love being able to pass cars with double the HP in turns just due to better driving skills.

Have you ever had anyone recommend the book Speed Secrets by Ross Bentley? The book is amazing and has helped me a shit ton on the track.

Rakuten is running another upto 3000 yen off for Tenso international shipping. Just placed an order for some KYOEI WTS HUB Spacer 11 mm. Getting the rear summer wheel setup ready. Save $150 bucks from buying it from Evasive.





not actual item i bought. just a picture for reference.

Also received a bunch of door clips so i can replace the ones i broke a couple of years ago. Got a pair of seat belt finishers too, i'll put in when it gets warmer.

I took these subs out and am going to replace it with a single 12" and go ported instead of sealed this time.
