The Taffeta White Daily

The Life of a Taffeta White Fit, here is a little story of my Fit
I was a Yaris owner before, love that car but its 2dr and recently got a new born, which i switched to Fit, more room + 4dr FTW


so Jan 21, 2010 I picked up my new 2010 Fit Sport





one of my first mods were mostly led interior lights and LED Tails


HKS Coil-overs





some MXP lugs for my rims later

The WB 224S is the hub you actually should of gotten. The 223S will work according to WB when I contacted them as this is what I had previously and I purchased a new one and then realized it should of been the 224S, the connections for the SRS are slightly different. Gambatte. No quick release and just the short hub? That is going to move your steering wheel further away from you.

Looking good so far without a doubt.

i do have a fet QR, i forgot to mention it
and yes its should be 224, but i didnt want to wait a month for it from japan, so i just got what was in stock, the 223
and i will keep smoked tails, the clears are for the stock rims, i just thought the smoked tails matched the gunmetal rims, but the stock silver rims is too bright with the smoked tials

the hks are awesome, much better than the tien's i had for the yaris, but it was more money than the tein's for sure, but its worth it, the ride at softest setting is like stock, and if you want it more agressive turn up the dampers past half and its very stiff, at stiffest setting its like little F1. yet over bumps it doesn't feel harsh eats up the bumps very well (its baby approved), i have a S13 with tanabe sevens and its stiff but over bumps its just as stiff and uncomfortable (baby would not like it), the HKS are designed very well, probably the best i ever riden in, if you know the quality of Zeal's, they are close or just like Zeal coil-overs and for fraction of the price

Very nice! Love those wheels.

Do you have the other stuff installed yet? I'm planning on picking up a PRM intake as well this summer.

Looks awesome! What is the offset of your wheels and tire size? Any rubbing?

Looks great! I remember your Yaris from Yarisworld.com. The Fit looks equally awesome.
