You can see now. I hope you went to Honda. My dealer will put inserts in for you at no cost.

My annual oil change coming up in Jan. I must go dig it out now. Been snowing since noon yesterday. Plough just dumped a couple feet at end of drive.

 

What! Free? Nah im a sucker and bought rain X wipers lol. Havent installed them yet, maybe my dealer is just as friendly... Lol

 

Took a Sunday drive over to Yamanashi Prefecture to eat at some mom and pop restaurant (was quite tasty and wish it was closer than the 92km away it is) that I happened to find on Google Maps. This presented some scenery...





And on Saturday, I installed the Charge Speed Bottom Line sides and swapped back from the RE30s with Blizzaks to the Advan RZ. I also gave it a much needed bath, but it needs even more TLC as there is a dirt film that didn't come off with just washing, so need to clay and then 3 step detail it in the near future.

 

Winter over already?

 

Nope not at all, hasn't really started. Over Thanksgiving, we got a bit of snow, so put on the Blizzaks just in case. Still only around 8C and won't really begin to get cold till after the new year.

 

Wow that must be nice, guess it doesnt get too cold there.

 

Unf, such a nice looking car. Glad to see you're still getting use out of it!

 

i've done many things. Retrofits and RS tails, and adjustable rear suspension with stiffer springs. I hated how the car sagged with people, cargo, etc in the car.

I'll have pics soon

 

I think I may have a problem, a couple days ago I purchased another set of MF10Ls, because 7" width and can run a stagger on circuit and then earlier tonight I messaged Kaz from JsRacing about the availability in getting a set of CE28 Scholarships (not sold to individuals here in Japan), he said he'll check with Rays on Monday and out of nowhere went and purchased a new set of TE37Sonics in Diamond Dark Gunmetal. If somebody could point me to WheelWhoreAnonymous I would greatly appreciate it. Seriously though, I may just have to unload some sets even though no desire to.



Ordered 15x7+35(f) and 15x6.5+45(r).

 

Things I did to GE today:

Jump started it bc the POS won't start on cold mornings.

Things I did to GE yesterday:

Jump started it bc the POS won't start after being driven on a cold afternoon for 20 minutes.

What I do now:

Start finding where I put my stock parts so I can put them back on come spring & replace the car.

 

Lol mike. You dont sound frustrated at all.

 

Hahaha, yeah to say I am more than a little peeved would be accurate. I've yet to get through a winter without the car refusing to start at least once. My 20 year old Civic Si and 13 year old Integra with a blown head gasket never once failed to start. Even after sitting for weeks at a time while I was in college. Civic sat for four weeks in the dead of winter and started almost instantly once. For my four year old Fit to not do that = Rage

 

I hear you man. Mine has a hard time getting going also. Especially bc my Fit sits for a week while im working, so now that its sits and its cold it takes a few extra cranks.

 

I drive mine 60 miles, pretty much everyday.

Went & got the battery replaced under warranty, seems to be functional for now.

 

A new battery made a big difference for my Fit. The old one got discharged sitting in the garage waiting for the airbag, and was never quite the same after. I had a new battery installed and now it starts like a champ.

Had the tires rotated yesterday too.

 

Fit barely started this morning (-25°C). Battery is new from last February (replaced under warranty).
Next summer once a get access to my garage, I'm replacing it with a 51R! Though I would be able to get through this winter...now I'm not that sure.

 

I had a new battery put in. Three batteries in my car since it was purchased new in April 2012. We'll see if it makes to summer time when I sell the car.

 

Frenzal get a battery tender junior from canadian tire. Itll keep your battery charged up overnight and help it start better in the morning.

 

I found the Fit stock horn to be lacking. I've actually had people either not hear it or totally ignore it.

Hubby bought and installed a nice loud van/suv horn. It's not crazy loud inside the car (with the windows up), but it sure is startlingly loud outside.

I won't be ignored!

My battery has been fine since I swapped in a 51R. Honda should have done that from the start.
