You guys may want to check out Majestic Honda for OEM parts.... I have no complaints about their service but I'm not the kind of person to lose my cool over the small stuff.

You're insight rear drum plan is like crack rock to me right now. C'mon bernardi, send the freaking parts already! I want to see progress!

(just picked up some 14x6.5 bbs rzs for track fun. They still weigh ~14.2 lbs a piece, but at least thats a total of 14 lbs saved plus an inch of width vs my stock 15" base steelies.)

No sweat Rob,
I ordered a bunch of stuff of eBay and SummitRacing AFTER I ordered from Bernardi and all that stuf got delivered promptly....but still waiting on Bernardi. Zzzzzzzzz.

@TC,
Age = patience

****EDIT, just noticed how bad my typing has gotten on the iPad...the auto correct es horrible'****

Gone too far? Or not quite there yet??

Decided to go a different route with the rear doors:

LOL, of course I'll weigh the door liners, and all parts removed, etc. I'm also tossing around the idea of cutting out the door reinforcement (I realize this will destroy the resale value, but I ain't planning on ever selling my Fit).

All door functions still work...power locks, check; power windows, check; door handles, check.

I think you've now crossed the threshold of sanity hahah

I was thinking that B&D could use the Lycra.... I would rather have a sore butt than have someone see my tired 60 year old saggy ass in cycling shorts.. I have some funky old style stuff like a Brancale hair net helmet and Brookes leather saddles with springs Bio Pace and Cycloid chain rings, LWB recumbents and crazy stuff.
