I couldn't even imagine what that'd sound like, other than awesome.

 

I had a crx too 555! B16B! fun car.

why'd you get rid of the s2k and nsx 555? ever miss it? My next car will be an NSX or AP1.

 

J, I never had a NS-X or CR-X actually. If I had a NS-X, no way in hell would I sell it and it would be a DD. The Snisen is missed, but seriously not as much as the 5R. I can't really bring myself to get another one, because it just wouldn't be the same experience. The 5R was my first brand new car and it had its shares of ups and downs for me.

Mike, I posted this link before, it's just a vid of the 5R revving inside my personal garage (Toys 'R Us parking garage where I did a ton of work on the car).

5R screams

I had a video that I never put out to the public, the very first night after I removed the canister from the exhaust and drove home. It was so damn loud that as I came to a stop light all I could do was laugh at the obnoxious beast and thinking what other people on the road were thinking/saying (GO HOME GAIJIN, TOTEMO URUSAI) about it.

 

Wow. That sound is crazy!

 

Today, I decided to go ahead and put the MF10Ls(15x6.5+45) on even though I'm still waiting for the 205/50 AD08s. They came with hardly used Yokohama ES300 in 195/55R15. I weighed the wheel and tire combo and it came to 27.8lbs. I then weighed the RE30s(16x6.5+45) with 205/50 and the weight difference was from 4.2~5lbs. Went out to run an errand and immediately I could feel a difference in the acceleration, in Normal mode on the ETC, it felt like I was in SP7 (which normally the thing sits). I put it in SP7 and the damn ES300's have no grip really, well they grip, but WAY different from AD08s.

Couple pics I took this early evening...





I have the center caps on their way to me and hopefully the AD08s will be in tomorrow or next week sometime. With the sussy (featherweight compared to the Honda Access setup) and now the much lighter wheels, I can hardly wait to attack Suzuka Southern.

 

Sweet ride sexy!

 

niiiice. Keep the pictures coming!

 

Yum. I love it.

 

Well J's was in town at a Super Autobacs and there is a roller dyno so I figured why not?

At the wheels registered 112ps and corrected was 130.7ps. Take off about 3ps for hp figure.

 

109/110 whp? Whoa! Great numbers!

 

Just received another set of wheels (thank you Kelso). Promptly after work went right to a Yokohama shop and placed an order for some A050s in 205/50R15. Wanted to go 215/50 up front with 195/55/15 out back, but those 2 sizes would not be able to get to me till after my event on Dec 1st. So just stuck with equal sizing all around.

Tires are...


And will be fitted to...

 

i hate you.. in a jealous kind of way

 

I beg to differ. The GE baseline dyno is around 100-103 bhp (the GD baseline dyno is in the mid 90s). An increase of 7-9 bhp for all these bolt ons on a GE shows how restrictive the stock ECU is.

 

amazing tires so ive read! good stuff here

 

Nice! Glad the wheels got to you okay

 

dude im loving that rear lip !!!!! wish it would fit the usdm!!!!

 

Tires came in, left the wheels at the Yokohama shop last weekend...





Can not hardly wait till next Thursday to punish these things. Total weight rim and tire is 13.2kg (29.04lbs). The RE30s with AD08s are approximately 32.5~33lbs. The A050s are a tad heavier due to the increased sidewall stiffness. Regardless 3.5~4lbs per wheel, 1" less rotating mass and incredible grip levels are going to make the Fit feel fantastic.

 

Wow these look great!!!

 

sick rims n tyres!! beautiful!!!!

 

I should take a pic of the tires after 4 20min sessions. Also still need to condense and edit video from the day. Too damn lazy though.
