Hows your haspor rear mount so far? Less vibration now?

The vibration has settle just a bit. The vibrations are still very evident during 1st gear engagement. Something to get used to for the average driver. Doesn't bother me a bit.

i ran spc camber bolts on my GE back in the day and the very max i could get out of the bolts was like -1.75 degrees. in your case you're going to need more like -2.25 or more to get the front to tuck in right, or maybe just roll the fender a tad for clearance.

Thanks for sharing! I still have a set of SPC bolts that will finally be put to use! I'm getting all four corners rolled and an alignment next week. I'm also thinking the -1.25 might be more than enough combined with the fenders rolled. Wish I can do something about our toe setting. The shim install is tempting. :ohnoes:

Let us know how it goes. Interested in how the car would respond with the CVT. GL!

Just installed it. The whole dash rattles below 1.5k rpm.
It rattles every single time u press the throttle
In slow traffic u feel like your car is falling apart
But the throttle feels more responsive...

I hope it breaks in after 500 miles!

It'll definitely break in. I have the mount as well.

Got all 4 fenders rolled. Thanks to @TheRubDoctor on IG. Reach out to him for your bay area fender rolling needs!

Yes the fellow did an aweome job, so far no rubbing after driving over small dips.. will see how it performs in spirited situations :) ill try to remember and take pics next time i remove the wheels, next is alignment, hopefully before end of week

Aznsupastar 01-10-2018 09:04 AM

I'm curious, what's there to roll? The fit doesn't really have a inner lip inside the fender (like other honda). R u more pulling the fender rather than rolling? May I see some close up photos please? Thx

So I decided to go with -1.0 camber in the front, visually not that noticeable but had to consider the tire's tread life since this is still my daily..mind you 60mi round trip commute, but the extra negative camber should suffice for overall driveability and needs.. time to test on the track!!

thanks Auto Innovations, Milpitas!

kenchan 01-12-2018 07:44 AM

why only -1 on camber? shouldve gone more like -1.5 to -1.75.

ouch on the front bumper. :D

kenchan 01-12-2018 08:02 AM

car looks good btw..!

Now that i think of it, I should have probably gone max. O well, atleast i have peace of mind for daily driving. And car drives better with the new alignment anyways since adding the TE's. Now I just need those dreaded Centric Hub Rings (65mm to 56.1mm). So far Evasive Motorsport has them at $13/pop. Would you happen to know where I can find some cheaper and ships quickly?

And thanks for noticing the damage which the car endured over the holiday...eeek

I am actually grabbing a RS front lip and mugen side skirts from a fellow member, SKatana I believe?

Thanks man! Still want a couple more aesthetic parts other than the ones I just mentioned. I really want the Takeros RS+ Wing in Carbon tho!

??????TAKERO'S/Catalog/HONDA/FIT3

$257 w/ 10 Day shipping from Japan!

I wonder if anyone state side has this on their GK. They offer FRP and Carbon versions. I am going to purchase the FRP version.

kenchan 01-12-2018 01:43 PM

those TE’s use tapered lugs right? meaning it is a lug centric design. no need for centering rings. :). it just aids your wheel mounting to car. if that was running ball type or washer type lugs then they are hubcentric and require the centering rings if the center bore doesn’t match the hub diameter.

yah that spoiler lip will definitely go with your theme you got going.
