Up in orngeville on friday.




Cleaned and painted the inside of the rear wheel arches before the rims went on the other day.

 

Looks good! Was the rear wheel arch painted with any specific paint, or just regular ol' spray paint?

 

Thanks. Just used some rubberized rocker guard.

 

BUMP for the stockness! Any plans for the Fit?

 

Is that black interior?

 

For now its staying pretty much stock. Would like to find some sport bodykit parts but ill wait an see what comes my way.Other then the rims that are on it now. Getting tint done in the next couple of weeks and an intake is about as far as im going to go this summer. Need to spend some time on my suzukis and just keep the fit as a quiet and comfy DD.

The interior is mostly black.

 

Oh I remember those stock days. I felt that way when I first got my Fit. I went from selling all my Honda's (Race and DD) to not having vehicle for a short time. I then told myself no more Honda's. Then I got the Fit. Kept it stock for like 2 years then it all happened so quick haha.

 

Haha reading build threads like yours on here do not help either. It was the same thing I went through with my geo though, when I got it last year it was stock with the little 55hp 3cyl. Its come a long way since then.

 

Tell us about the Geo, I wanna see what has been done to it!

 

Dont have much in the way of pics. I bought the car for 50$ from some guy that had been using it as a parts car for the other geo he had brought it home and started putting back together using spare parts I had laying around. The first winter I had it I put newer model geo springs in it which net you about an inch and a half of lift which was a blast in the snow. By the time spring rolled around it need shocks so it got a set of kybs and some intrax lowering springs, went from 1.5" of lift to 1.5"of drop. in that time it also got larger sway bars front and back and upper and lower braces in the front.
Come some time late july the 3cyl started burning a ton of oil, the car turned into a diesel by itself. I didn't want to spent the money to rebuild the motor and couldn't have the car down for too long. So I pulled it into my garage on a friday evening pulled the 3cyl and swapped in a really low km swift gti motor I had laying around over the weekend managed to drive it to work and down to pittsburg and back the next weekend.

The engine is chipped,k&n intake, aftermarket header with a 2inch exhaust to a magniflow muffler.

For this year I have some rota slipstream knockoffs to go on, a set of koni coilovers for the front once I get some springs for them and a rear disk convertion. Currently looking for a spare engine harness to modify to run megasquirt and putting the car on a huge diet.

 

I lied I do have pics of the geo. My 50$ geo

 

It's a nice car!

 

Hella JDM different colored body panels! lol!

 

HAha first time anyone has called my paint scheme JDM. Definitely got alot of looks. Had a couple people offer to buy me a car of assorted spray paint to fix my fit when I got it.

 

Little car, big trucks.

Picked up some EG I think side markers and made a template. going to the them in this weekend.

It rained the other day. I liked the way the water was beading on my hood.

 

Nice, I'd like to see how the sidemarkers turn out. Also what happened to your drivers side front wheel? Blew a tire or got the wheel stolen?

 

That "little car, big trucks" picture reminds me of the advertising photos that were released when the Fit was first exported to North America that showed a Fit in a parking spot with the doors wide open.

 

Put them in yesterday but didn't get a pic yet. Was changing my oil last week and noticed the tire had a bulge on the inner sidewall so pulled them off and ran the steels for the week.

I sure did have plenty of space to open my doors in that spot.

 

Side markers installed and had the car tinted this week. 35% B piller forward and 20%b pillar back.

 

Side markers look dope. Did you just splice the wires for the turn signals and solder them together?
