Alpina,

I am thinking of moving apartments and it would free up some cash and space to maybe get a 2nd car. Seriously considering getting a NB miata..........but this is all wishful thinking right now. Got to get a new place first and then we will see what happens. But no new mods for the fit until I decide what I plan to do.

^As much as I love modding my Fit, a project car you can really cut into is the best.

What are your thoughts on 15x7.5 +35 wheel? I'm lowered on tien springs (1.6" all).

wright now i am running 16x7+40 and have no issues. I have about a finger and half gap.

These would just be for autocross not daily driving.

Wheels in question Konig Hypergram. 11.5 pounds

Sent Deposit for JDP Engineering Carbon Fiber Vented Hood & Carbon Fiber Top Radiator Cover Plate today.

Originally, I was planning to do a custom order with 2 extra intake ducts on the hood right behind the grill but I change my mind,
I worry I might let too much rain water get suck into my CRZ Mugen Intake with have a snorkel just behind the grill and cause Engine to Hydrolock...
I do need this vented hood to reduce Sprintex Supercharger tendency to heat soak...

Unfortunately, it's a shop. Goodness I'd love to have a clean work space like that. We just got a shed, so I'm in the process of clearing out my garage, which will be nice, but it's still only a 2-car garage.

Personally, I'd do 15's to save the little bit of weight overall. I really love bronze wheels so much. So glad that I actually like the Fit wheels though, or my wife would have my head.

Update!

New tank and I got all my fittings. Almost ready to go on the car, I'm just waiting for a couple suspension parts to come in and it'll be good to go. Aiming to install next Saturday

Did something today, just for fun, too bad it peeled off once I took it for a drive.

Yea it's air suspension I will let you know myself once I install and tinker with it. But the one I got it from said he had the ride height set probably an inch lower than stock. And it goes pretty low when aired out.

I'm using Airlift management with D2 air struts

I assume they will last longer than your typical $15/set eBay halos...

Soon enough I need to post up more pics of them, but the Fit has and will lose priority in my life (moving into my college dorm on Sunday).
i gonna check this out. thanks

Why do you say its too low to run? I run my 15x8 Gram lights 57dr's which are +35 and they fit great to me. I'm running 205/50/15 with swift springs (~1" drop only) and I have a 2 finger gap. Intend to get bilsteins or tien coilovers to get 2" of drop to get that gap to 1 finger.
