Added a couple new pics from driving over to Fuji-san today and a little video driving up Subaru-Fuji Line.

On the way home, SA Kawasaki called and stated my short boss arrived today, so will head back over there in the morning and pick that up and should have the steering wheel in sometime in the afternoon. :)

Nice pics, nice vid, and nice ride... which seems to get nicer by the day! :)

Now, more pics, more vid, and more ride nice-ening... by the day! :D

BTW, what type of mount, or, what are you using to keep your vid so stable in the car? My better half would flip for something she could do video drives with, if it were that stable. Cool stuff! :popc:

Got word from Yagi-San that the remaining parts of my order should be going out next Tuesday. Looking forward to that arriving. I ordered them pre-painted which is a plus as I can just install them without issue.

Also put a couple pics of the Momo Team 300mm wheel and J's(WorksBell) quick release and Mugen pedals.

Loving all those beautiful shots of your car, so jealous.

This was my favorite pic, post-card perfect, so peaceful.

Thanks for the share.

Loving the progress man. Subscribed.

Very nice choice of products. When do the wheels go on?

Oh Em Gee. So beautiful. I envy your car, and I envy you living in Japan. Mucho mucho much!

Thanks all.

The wheels I'm undecided about as far as putting them on. I was not sure if I should get some snow tires to throw on the stock wheels and then just use the stock tires on the wheels or just not buy snow tires (my area doesn't get much snow so it seems) and go ahead and just get the AD08s or RE11s for the wheels in 205/50R16. Wanted to go 195/50R16, but neither tire is made in that size so it will have to be 205. With the offset at 45, the wheels will stick out about 3/4" from the stock location. Not exactly sure how close it will be to rubbing or hopefully not rubbing whatsoever. Really the only downer I knew getting into the Fit, the sussy setup and its limitations.

Anyways, hopefully really soon the RE30s will be on. ;)

Meant to mention I also purchased Rays hubcentric rings for the wheels and also another set for when I get another set of RE30s in white (definitely down the road). They are 65/56.1 rings.

Hey, 555, with all of the great stuff going on your ride, you would think I'd have "other" questions. Nevertheless, what kind of mats are those in your ride (with the thick silver-grey binding? (border) Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think I've ever seen actual Honda Fit mats that look like that... at least not in the states anyway.

On a note of the "other" items, your ride is coming along nicely. Wow, some great stuff going on that puppy! :vtec:

Even though I truly DO like the stock Fit leather steering wheel ("semi-truck feel" and all ;)), and I can't do without the steering-mounted audio and cruise controls, your steering wheel is something, man... it kicks some serious @$$! VERY cool!

It's all good, it's all nice, from this angle!!! :popc:

More pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :hyper:

:p

Those are Honda Access mats, not sure what they are like compared to what you can get over there from the dealer. Cost was like 15000yen or about $170 if I remember correctly. A bit expensive for some basic mats. I saw some mats I would like to have made over here, but for about $500 I think I will pass because for that price they better massage my feet and whisper sweet nothings.

i say buy the summer tires, i ride on all-seasons and i live in WI which gets a lot of snow

Nice! :wavey: how did ya get turnsignals in the mirrors??

Honda put them there at the factory. :)

Very Very Nice car.

Well today I went shopping for tires, it was going to either be RE11s or AD08s. Went to 4 different shops and the first 3 didn't have any in stock and said it would be about 3 days. The 3rd offered the best price and I told them I was going to check 1 more shop close by and they said if they beat our price, bring the quote back and we will match. This was for the AD08s. Well I got to the 4th shop, Yokohama tires only, and he didn't have the tires right at the shop, but said he could have them in about 1 hour. Left my wheels with him, even though his price was about 5000yen more than the 3rd shop coming to a staggering 96000yen. Well I could have the tires today so to me that was worth the extra cost.

He called back stating the wheels were ready, so drove back about an hour ago and had them put on. When it came time to pay, he made it out to 90000yen even, so I saved about $12 and got the tires today. Win/win, though tires cost so much more here in Japan than they do in the US by far. I would of ordered from the Tire Rack, but for whatever reason they don't carry 205/50-16 in either the AD08 or RE11. It sure would have been nice, because it would of only cost a little more than half of what I paid most likely. Basing this off of the Dunlop Star Specs I purchased for my old Snisen, all 4 tires 215/45-17 and 245/40-17 came to like $600 shipped, yet those same tires here in Japan sell for like 105,000yen or converted about $1175. Anything related to petroleum costs a premium here.

Thanks SpoonFitGD3, I can say the same thing about your 2 as well. 1 Spooned and 1 J'sd...SICK!!!

Love everything you've done on the fit. The wheels and tires look good!

Well so much for putting on the RE30s w/AD08s. It started snowing tonight and we got about 4" so far and it is still going. Just changed the wheels back to stock. Figures, as I was contemplating buying snow tires for the stock wheels and just using the stock tires on the RE30s. hahahaha

Added some shots from after work today. This weekend installed the J's exterior bits and the P.Mu pads. Waiting to do the lines, because I might just end up with the P.Mu front brake slim 4 piston kit.

I want to put this out in the open here since this is my thread, I am not trying to impress anyone with my purchases. Just sharing in the joy of my car, just like others do with their vehicle. You will never see my car in a car show type of setting, well that is not entirely true as I did a show one time to benefit an organization with my old Teggy. Don't even know why I am posting this, but I just want it known that I am not the type of person looking for praise from others. At the same time, I don't know if I was being lumped into the "fucking idiot" comment in another thread, but that statement was overboard really.
