Can't wait to see updated pics! :-p

 

What offset are the BCs? Kind of like the look of the TRs more than the P1s, but that's me. Maybe just the memory of the original 5R wheels that came on the Teggy.

Can't wait to see some updated pics though. The weather here is starting to look like Spring is just around the corner as the temps all this week are forecast to be mid to upper 50s. Hopefully you'll see the same in the not too distant future, but I guess still about 6 weeks out if not a little longer. Hopefully it just doesn't snow up in that region anymore as the NE has been bombarded this season.

 

I wanna say they are a 40 offset, but it could be 38. Not 100% sure. I liked the TR's, but a friend of mine made me an offer on them that I couldn't refuse. The SF's came at a good price too and they are spotless.

 

Nice! ya i got my fit sport with navi for the same price as a base fit.

The mugen accessories are nice, but I don't like the rear bumper with the fake exhausts..

 

Talked about them, but figured I'd snap a picture of them...getting tires mounted on them at work this week.



A lot of people say the same thing about the exhausts, and honestly I hated them when I first got the car, even considering removing the rear section with the exhausts. They kind of grew on me. May eventually paint the silver metal to match the bumper, but keeping the way it is for now.

 

Nice Mugen you've got there, what kind of wheels are you lookin' to get for it?

BTW, am I the only one here really liking the yellow on the FIT, its bad ass

 

See post above for the wheels. Buddy Club P1's in black 15x6.5.

 

nice i've got the same rims. have you put them on yet?

 

Mounted the tires today, but have not actually bolted them on. Waiting on lug nuts to come in, and spacers.

 

Will post some update pics later today, but earlier this week I bolted on my new wheels and tires and my smoked Depo LED RS tails. Tails make a huge difference on a black car, and look 100x better than the somewhat cheapo looking stock USDM tails. Wheels are great too, but amplify the fact that my car needs a drop BAD. Have a set of Progress's sitting in my garage, but I'm just too damn lazy to put them in right now.

 

Update now WITH pictures. Really impressed by the way the car drives with just tires. Can't wait for the springs and RSB. Took some pictures today after I cleaned her up for a car show tomorrow. I love the poke the 38 offset creates and the tires are great. Car really needs a drop to complete the look.


New tails in. Gotten lots of compliments on these. Not many modded 09-10 Fits around here, much less with LED RS tails.

DAT POKE



Good picture of side view with the wheels. other side shot got washed out by the sunlight.

Artsy shot with the aluminum lugs.


Closeup of the tails. Very impressed with quality.


Springs should be in middle of April depending on my work schedule, with RSB shortly after. Come tax money time I want to overhaul the brakes with new pads, fluids and lines.

 

very nice bro... i was wondering what tires you were running on your buddy clubs ?

 

Dunlop Direzza DZ101s. 205/50/15. Great tires. Used them on two of my Civics and they are well worth it. Wanted the D1 Star Spec Z1's but I drive too much -and a 200 wear rating will kill it.

 

its funny that you mentioned that because im like fighting between the RE-11 or those tires lol...

 

For the 205's, Re-11's are like $10 more a tire and well worth it. The 195 Star specs are way cheaper for some reason. If you want a 205, the Re11's will not dissapoint. But they wear quick.

 

My Mugen Fit brother! Your car looks nice! I am getting my rims mounted next week.

 

cool i got to drive both in wet conditions... before i buy them thanx
wondering which one would be best for Auto X

 

Re-11's are by far best for Auto-X. I'd also look into the Hankook Ventus RS-2's.

Thanks for all the positive inputs. Drop should be comming soon.

 

Looking good man. Good wheel choice! But they don't poke at all.

 

Nothing too much to write home about as far as updates. Just been banking money for the next round of upgrades and keeping the car clean. It just rolled over 10k and I did my second oil change. MPG's actually are getting better with the switch from winter blend gas in my area.

I have still the Progress's, but am waiting on the RSB to install it all at once.

Another thing I'd love to do is swap my pair of chrome headlights with headlights out of a base Fit. Don't really like the chrome housing and the base greyed out housings are the closest thing to black housings as I can get. I'm too scared to pull apart my own lights, plus I trust the factory seal.

Otherwise, I've removed my Mugen mats for all but car meets as I find they get dirty very quick in normal use and I do not want to wear down the mats at the rate they are.
