love it man

 

Thanks brother!

Now she just needs some wheels, but I have to let my wallet rest haha. Next year she will get some new shoes.

 

Bought a replacement used front passenger door panel on ebay for 60 bucks since I got tired of looking at the skeletal door frame. Turns out that the door panel fabric is much different from mine. I knew this coming from an 09 Fit, but its just temporary until i can find time again to mess around with the real cf.

 

The problem is when there is no weight on a rear wheel, and the spring is uncompressed, it tends to be able to fall out. I don't think this would be a common issue on the road, but it is annoying. I guess I'm just used to the OEM suspension where you have to disconnect the shock before the spring can come out. There may be something I'm missing, though.

 

Added tow strap yesterday. Because Race car.

 

Got bored.. decided to snap a pic at 8:30 at night haha..

found some grafitti and decided it was time for a couple of pics...

 

A Good Member of FitFreak had committed to buy my Bilstein coil over and OZ Racing Superturismo GT wheel so

I just sent payment via PayPal to a vendor at Rakuten Japan for Ohlins BTO (Build to Order) Complete Suspension Kit,
the vendor say possible delivery around early November... which mean about 1.5 month wait time... hopefully I get it soon, so I can send my Bilstein to the buyer
here is the vendor rakuten page:

Still waiting for BBS Wheel vendor though... they are slower to response then the Ohlins vendor...

 

Just ordered another 4 piece of BBS RF-509 Wheel in DSK (Diamond Silver Clear), this time it would took 1.5 months since it is in back ordered, and I bought this one from vendor at rakuten trough JapanParts.

here is the vendor page:

at the same time the first piece of BBS RF-509 that I bought using Buyee just arrived at Buyee warehouse and I just paid for the EMS shipping cost... so hopefully this 1 piece will arrive by next week so I can use it to measure the clearance with the Brembo 6 piston caliper

 

Base and sport have slightly different interior colors. I found out the same way you did. I'm just rolling with it, my driver's interior door panel is different than the rest. Sport has blue on a black background, base has blue on a gray background.

 

looking good man.. on the stechs... how much clearance do you have under the side skirts / front?

would it be possible to get a further straight on side shot? thinking about springs now but I will prob be keeping the stock wheels for a while.. or possibly dipping them

 

Sure I'll snap a pic when I get home.

 

4 BBS rims and Ohlins coils?? That's a decent bit of cash lol. I'm excited to hear about the coilovers when you get and install them, Ohlins are supposed to be the best of the best.

On a side note I am getting two new tires tomorrow, my front Falkens are completely done, with the rear ones in almost-new shape. I do drive pretty aggressively, but 7000 miles out of two tires makes me sad I hope I don't have to do this again lol.

 

Sorry I got home to late yesterday to take pics. No sun.

 

^^ nice drop.. I really like how the front drops with those springs

prob end up with swift springs or these.. depending on price

 

Finally received my XB fogs from TRS and installed them. Haven't had a chance yet to check out the output. Still got the yellow film to apply too, but I don't want to apply it with all the rain thats coming.

 

pic or it didn't happen X^P haha

 

too lazy lol

 

How long did it take you from jacking up the car to lowering it back down?

 

Me?

Well thankfully I had my friend Erik install them. He knew exactly what to do and I'm what order. It took about 2 hours but he is very experienced.
