2018 Setup


WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca - June 2018

2020 Pandemic Especial

Photos taken at Streets of Willow, CCW Twilight 8-15-20

 

I really like the look of the wheels minus looking so darn small!

 

So decided to purchase the Koni Orange STR.T to complement the H&R springs. Will have to wait another week for their arrival and installation.

Also ordered the following: (cant seem to get my mind off of my Fit Spirited Tune lol)

-Hasport Rear Engine Mount (U70A)
-TechnaFit SS Brake Lines
-EBC Green Stuff front pads

I think I saw somewhere that Brembo makes brake shoes for our car. I'll have to research again.

Sorry for lack of pictures, but would like to share the finished product once lowered.

My goal for the car is for 'Spirited Commuting Driving' (Occasional canyon carving, Getting ahead of the dreaded i880/i680 communte [Oakland > n < Fremont]

Btw, its rare to see other hopped up GKs in the bay area for some reason. Where you all at?!

 

I'm in the valley. I've seen three or four modded Fits, other than mine, in my area so far. We tend to show up at the same bar

 

We gotta have a bay area fun drive sometime this summer.

 

That'll be fun. I'll pm ya when I'm headed out that way.

 

looking good so far! can't wait to see the setup with H&R and Koni though.

 

Will be installed by end of Friday.. i hope

 

Just came in the mail. Can't wait to throw this on. Thanks Axion Industries!!!


Hardness: U70A

 

Finally dropped.

 

And more goodies came in the mail.

 

Just before I head out from the office, installed the JDM emblem. Should have made it 1/4 - 2/4 inch lower. Oh well eyeballed it the best I could.

 

nice drop on the suspension setup! looking good!

Did you install the Hasport rear motor mount? What is your impression with it? Can i get the part # if you don't mind. Thanks

 

hey thanks man! The car feels so much better while cornering now. As for the rear mount, not installed yet.. planing to put it on sometime next week and will let you know. Part no. I believe was #GERR. Purchased thru Axion:

ask for the 10% promo code!!

 

that dropped pict looks so much nicer, congrats.

you can probably do 10mm spacers in the back if you want to flush that up, but then you might feel a tad bit of understeer so might want to add more camber up front.

also id suggest running shorter profile tires next time to change the gear ratio. should give you a nice pickup.

 

Thanks for the brotherly tip! Ill definately play with some negative camber at the front after throwing on the rear spacers. I too was thinking 10mm will flush it out. Amazon prime here we go again.

Having a hard time deciding between H&R or Ichiba:

nice! looking good.

 

np. for rears im sure the ichiba will work just fine, but i too run H&R's on my rides. i like the lighter weight.. super nice quality too.

 

Fitted Yakima Rack with old school Q-Towers from a GD Fit. Fits snug but I think i'd rather cough up the extra $$$ for BaseLine Towers..
