Interesting choice of tire size, but 195s are practically non-existent and 205s do come with a weight and mileage penalty, so I can understand that. I bet just upgrading the tires, even in the stock size, would have a huge effect on the Fit, which as far as I can tell, is mainly limited by it's grip, and not it's suspension tuning for a 'stage 1' upgrade.

Happy Birthday Car!

To celebrate, how 'bout a shot of that engine bay with all the spoon bits. I couldn't find one the other day.

Of course, but first I need to clean the engine bay. I replaced my front parking light bulbs last night and realized how absolutely filthy the engine bay is.

So is mine. I'm not the greatest at keeping it clean. The rest of the car is a different story. It's all stock under there anyways, and I don't need to exactly be dazzled when I check my fluids.

I like keeping my GE8 as clean as possible, including the engine bay.

Now that the K&N intake system is installed, I decided to put the GE8 on the dyno to see how much horsepower and torque she's making now. It's nothing to get excited about, but any increase is fine for me.
