FamilyWagon, NT03 look great. Nice choice!

I did two Fit related things today!

I bought a trinket for my GE.

I then posted about it in my thread.

Haven't been on since the weekend, on Saturday went over to Sodegaura Forest again and ended up setting my personal best with a 1:20.834, a good 2.35 seconds better than previous best and in the first session 15 of my 21 laps beat the previous best. In my 2nd session, had at least 2 laps that I noticed on the SoloDL predicted to be in the mid 19s and upper 19s, but I got slowed down by other drivers in critical parts of the track that added at least a whole second to the overall lap time and best in the 2nd session was a 1:20.999. The crisp air and the rear active suspension that I had installed prior to Suzuka last year really had the car feeling terrific and places I had to modulate the throttle previously, I could just lay into it more. Had a couple Japanese dudes come looking at my car in the pits and telling me it is pretty fast. That was cool, but for myself, if it was in the 1:15s then I would consider it fast. Though honestly, I was quite stoked to see that 1:20.834.

Here is an old list from July 2012 from a company that hosts track days at different circuits here of their rankings at SodegauraForest...
LIST

Yes it is 3.5 years old and these times don't take into consideration anybody that doesn't participate with them (that's me and many), but my time would be 37th on that list and there are quite a few cars below that I believe their drivers would be shocked to see a Fit posting a faster time. On that list, there is a single GE8, with a 1:35.136 to somewhat put it into perspective I guess.

Pretty sure they were Work Meister S1's he got from trading his Volk TE-37s.

Also FamilyWagon, didn't notice this before but is your clearcloat on the roof/rear peeling?

As for my Fit today I purchased my Aries 3D front and rear liners from JC Whitney . Found a 20% off coupon (JCW64MLT16) and free shipping so my mats only came out to $110 with tax and shipped. Glad I searched as amazon wanted $150+tax.

Only complaint is no Prime 2-day shipping lol. I'll be patient and save $50 tyvm. Guess I'll have my good condition stock mats up for sale soon. =)

Yes the silver wheels were Work Meister S1 2p wheels.
Its just the lighting, no clear coat issues on the car. I think its the reflection of the clouds.
