Been slowly prepping it for my sister who'll be using it for college. Switched out my SSR's which were 17" and stepped down to 15" with meatier tires for a more comfortable-- squishy ride for daily beaters lol

It will be a rally car, so not really caring how it will sound.

It sounds like in this video, but little bit louder and more raw.

Question compressor shopping

Hi,

I haven't done anything to my fit yet but recently had it diagnosed and was told my ac clutch relay fried my ac clutch. So, has anyone replaced their compressor and where did you buy it? Rockauto? I hear four seasons is no bueno...

I removed the Progress rear sway last night. Bought the Fit with it installed so I didn't know any different. Progress definitely makes the rear stiffer. THeres a little more roll now in turns but the plus side is that the ride quality has improved....meaning its a lot more cushy of a ride. I don't feel every single crack in the road anymore.

Will be removing more parts this weekend.

Finally after 6 months working out of state,
I got a job that fit my background in CA,
so I can go back to "developing" my Fit

here are some of the parts that I recently bought:

HJS Tuning High Flow Cat converter:



will be welded to my Noblesse pipe... finally I can install it




Painting EBC GreenStuff pads yellow to match my rear caliper...
yes, I almost ran out of pads material ...





Defi Advance RS EGT Gauge:



K&N spare filter for my JDM Mugen CR-Z AirBox:



my tires also almost run out of thread...
I wish I can wait longer so I can buy the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4s,
but unfortunately they are not available in 225/40ZR18 sizes...
so I have to buy the Michelin Pilot Super Sport instead,
just like the one I currently use...

More development coming soon

Welcome back Alpina! Hope you can make next weeks SoCal meet! =)

Washed the Fit yesterday. Forgot how much I like how this car turned out. The 2-tone just works and the stance with the 8" wheels makes me happy. It looks low and chunky lol.

I do 2 things today:

1. Install/Balance a Michelin Pilot Super Sport tire so both my front tires will be new tires,
I found a shop that have a very nice Hunter GSP9700 Road Force Touch Balancing Machine:

Welcome back BMW!

Heres an update for my fit. Got work emotion m8rs. I think these may be the first set in canada and possibly the only in white on a fit. Could not find user pics in white online even in japan.

Just some preview pics for now. More to follow later

Was wondering! Glad to hear!

So I am worried about my days as a Fit owner.... Between my race team's needs and desire to get a camper, I really need to get a truck and strongly leaning towards the Raptor. I did a refresh of my car a year ago trying to make it feel fresh (thanks Alpina) and have held to the car for 125k mainly because it has required ZERO work... My needs are changing and the amount I need to commute into work has greatly reduced so the hypermiller isn't doing much for me.

I'd keep the car just because it means nothing 3k or whatever its resale is but I don't have space for a 4th car at my condo and it just becomes a financial liability. Not sure what to do about that...

-Hi Alpina, Glad your back! It's always exciting you add new parts to the build

-New Wheels look really good Connor! They really compliment the look of the car. Love that white on white.

-I bought FittedOnEm's old custom canards. Not sure what I am going to do with them just yet. But I'm thinking of getting them paint matched.

I have always loved the ASM bumper with the painted canards.

The manuals don't have transmission filters correct?
