My new Honda...

Pictures go as far as almost 2 months back, i haven't posted these so since thanksgiving was around the corner, i felt nice and thought it be a good time to share, it's not much but enjoy! :thumb: some pictures were when i had H&R springs and some with T1R 52BMAX.



















A really quick clip of the car:

sounds about right...
here's the plan, but we all know plans don't ever go as planed.

1. deciding on spring/shock combo or full coil
2. mugen gp (mugen si) rims, but also considering white rims
3. front HFP lip+side+rear
4. T1R intake
5. P2R TB spacer, TB gaskets.

im sure there will be more as time goes by, but thats the general plan for now...

Is it as light and nimble feeling as the Fit, or can you feel the weight can from the Fit in the handling. I know for a fact its alot faster, just handling might be similar i imagine?

It takes a little more to turn the wheel (in a good way though, the heavier feel gives you more control), because the front is heavier compre to the Fit ofcourse. The overall handling is great, the back feels firm and grips easily, the car just feels more stable, with the stock suspension I think it absorbs bumps better compare to the stock Fit suspension, you can't really compare the handling... I say go test drive one, the sedan is better imo, because the weight of the vehicle is balanced better than the coupe. I have not tested the full potiential of this car's handling, because im still in the breaking in process. I'm really glad I traded the Fit in! :)

i suggest selling your parts and trading the Fit in stock, this is a great time, because gas prices are high and a lot of people are in the market for gas savers! i'm doing $393 a month w/7 year 100k warranty and thats with sucky interest rate at 7.3% if you have good credit hist. honda has the 0.95% and 2.9% interest rate!
