My new daily GE8... Stayed stock for a whole week!

You know you're off to a bad start to keeping your daily simple when you buy coilovers before you buy the car, haha, it's a disease. I picked up my fit about 3 weeks ago to replace my accord I just sold:

Attachment 34378

I also own this, my previous daily until I picked up the accord:

Attachment 34379

And I'm building this bad boy for weekend fun:

Attachment 34380


Anyways, on to the fit... Before I went to pick up the car I headed over to Stance and picked up a set of GD coilovers that they trimmed down to fit the GE. I cranked them all the way down and threw them on (still have collars to remove once I get wheels):

Having seen pictures of the mugen front and rear lips, I knew I had to have them, so I went ahead and ordered them right after I got the coilovers on.

I'm hoping I'll be able to keep myself from doing anything else to the outside of the car, but I did order a little something more yesterday. In any case, here's how the car sits for now.

Nice work so far, which wheels are you planning on getting?

Ro_Ja Boy 07-06-2011 11:28 AM

It's been a long time since I've seen your name pop up. Hope all is well!

Welcome to the GE8 family. I have long admired your IS300, seen it pop up all over the web in many stages of its life! The BMW looks insane, can't wait to see t finished. Also looking forward to what you do with the Fit! What coilovers are you running?

Thanks, I'm on Stance GR+ coilovers.

when i saw ILL ROLLER

i thought damn that could not be the risky devil dude

and then it was...

another fit to be envious of in chicago lol

if you could PM me the price on the stance and the work that had to be done that would be sick

car looks great, white is probably the best color out.

smeister 07-07-2011 11:24 AM

Sweet ride and love the lighting on the photos :)

Welcome to FF;)

Nice to see yet another FF in the Chicagoland area, now when are we all going to meet up, its been a pipe dream so far:confused:

Can't wait to see your wheel selection, those wheels on your weekend toy would be sweet as hell IMO!

StormSurfer 07-07-2011 06:32 PM

Welcome to Fit Freak! Nice rides man!

Cat 07-07-2011 08:57 PM

Yes, you know you are already in trouble when your ordering car parts before the car is even sitting in your drive way. Great looking Fit!

Neebs 07-12-2011 07:19 PM

Haha.. No way? Probably don't remember me, but we did couple of photoshoots a while back.

You still drop into Tucson?

It is I... I'm not sure on the retail of the stance kit, I bought a set that they had laying around for test fitting purposes at a small discount. They said it was literally 5 minutes of work to modify them though, so I dunno that they'd really charge much for that.

I'd be down for a meet, I have 3 buddies with cool GD's that I'm sure would come out.

The wheels on the bmw are 15's, otherwise I'd probably try them out.

That's how it usually goes for me... At least with the bmw I waited two weeks after getting the car to buy suspension and wheels.

I do remember you, you had the red civic right?

My parents live in Tucson, so I still come out 1-2 times a year.

mike410b 07-13-2011 05:44 PM

Hello mr. ill Roller.

I'm Solbros from JDMC.

Why not try the 15's on the Fit?

<- Also would be in for Fit meet.

Preferably friday afternoon :p

ILL Roller 07-15-2011 02:57 PM

15's are too small for a GE... The stock 16's look too small on this thing.

kevinkidstar138 07-15-2011 04:58 PM

very true 16s are too small especially when aftermarket

17s tho dont allow for much of an agressive fitment considering camber can not be adjusted in the rears :(

kevinkidstar138 07-15-2011 05:06 PM

and whoever is seriously down to do maybe a monthly meet pm me your cell numbers so I can get a list going.... your number will only be given to me, i will not give it out to anyone else on the list, etc.

exbauer 07-15-2011 05:10 PM

I have been off the Honda boards for a long time. But, I remember your photos when I was on 7thgencivic. Glad to see you are back.
