How do you like those Nittos? My car's gonna need tires pretty soon, these look "interesting"

 

I love them. After the new clutch master cylinder and these tires I'm in love with the car. They're grippy and smooth. I don't get any road noise either.

 

What did the new clutch master cylinder do for you? How is it better than the OEM?

Thanks.

 

makes the clutch much more responsive, the oem one has a delay valve which makes the clutch feel inconsistent and has a weird disconnected feel to the car, i cant quite explain it good but i initially thought my clutch was going bad because i have never drove a car with a delay valve before. if youre happy with the clutch id leave it alone. but i personally have to mod things to make them suit me.

 

Cool… and I agree with the clutch feel, just not brave enough to DIY… but I’ll probably needing new tires within months/year…. Bought it it used CPO, has about 69000 miles on it , tires had obviously been replaced, had 40000 on it when bought…great car so far

 

Did you already order the shocks/springs? It's been a while since I looked around, but I don't remember seeing any KYB performance shocks for the Fit. I think I found a listing that was supposed to be like an OEM replacement, but that wouldn't be the best on stiffer springs. Is there a KYB performance shock I missed?

If you haven't ordered, the HFP kit is fantastic. I ran Koni Orange on Megan springs (similar spring rate and drop but lower quality than Swift) until both wore out, and the HFP is better in every respect unless low ride height is what you're after.

Wheels look sharp, very nice.

 

I ordered the springs already but not the shocks. Kyb havnt been in stock anywhere do to a manufacturer back order. I am going for lower. I personally don't think the Swifts will be low enough for my taste but I was gonna run them on my oem suspension till I could save for a decent set of coilovers. Thats the plan anyway. I havnt looked into any hfp products yet. Thanks for the compliment, I really love the wheels. They made me like the car a whole lot more.

 

If you don't find a set of coilovers you like, the Konis may be the only game in town for a stiffer shock. They worked well for me, but the springs sagged and after a few months of the front bottoming out regularly the whole setup had to go. Found some leaking on the front shocks when I swapped for HFP, but I'm going to blame myself for running them out of their proper range rather than Koni quality.

I think you'll like the Swifts, consider getting camber bolts when you install them. You get max 2 degrees of negative camber, which I needed to prevent rubbing. Different wheels though, I've got 16" RPF-1 and chose a tire with a really blocky profile. Still helps with lateral grip, even if you don't have the rubbing issue.

 

thank you I appreciate the tips, gives me alot to think about. The konis were the one for a ge? Havnt seen gk ones.

 

Yes, same part numbers for the GE. Supposedly the length is a bit different, but they bolt up just fine, if you search around here you'll probably find a bunch of guys besides me who have used them. I actually got mine off ebay, none of the normal online vendors had any decent prices at the time.

 

Team white fit..I agree about the shift feel really not normal feeling it's seems vague.

 

Ah, the delay valve. Got it. Thanks.

 

Got some new parts today, gonna get these installed when the rv6 downpipe comes in the mail. Thanks axion industries for the quick shipping and great customer service 👍

this came in today, will install this and the hks silent power tomorrow, if I have time I will also install the hasport motor mount too. Excited 😊 . I will most likely get the ktuner to remove the sensor warning ik that's gonna come up when I put the downpipe in. Anyone have experience with that?

 

Installed thr downpipe and the hks axleback. I didn't have a fun time with this one. Very little room and I was working on the floor. I have a low profile floor jack so it doesn't go very high making this job very claustrophobic. Total time was 4 hrs. With a trip to autozone to get a bolt removal socket set.


this bolt had to be cut off with my angle grinder. Like I said wasn't a great day lol.


the quality of the rv6 downpipe is incredible! Everything lined up perfectly, I was very happy and impressed. Will update with a drive report when the rain stops. After this install I was ready to just relax.

 

how were the nuts on the head ? can you get at them from up top

 

Yeah you can put those on from the top long as you feel around a bit.

 

Finally put in the hasport rear motor mount and I can say it's amazing. Not feeling the engine rocking and the shift feel is incredible. After the car warms up and idle gets down the vibration isn't bad at all. I put a bit of grease on the back to help it slide in.
