For some weird reason, there is still not much snow out here on the west side. Weather reporters are saying snowfall moves south/southeast lately. I think it's mother nature's cruel way of giving us false hopes.:nod:

But up in the mountains they've been showered with snow non-stop. Good for the business though.

Hitch plow & drive everywhere in reverse...

Got 20 cm of snow in my area yesterday. Fit did just fine. I just realized if i plow my neighborhood with the fit before the snow gets hard and frozen, ill be good :p

spryter 11-25-2015 02:52 PM

I was surprised that my Falkens handled the snow and ice as well as they did. Not as well as winters do, but they did okay. No really big "holy shit" moments so far. I'm hoping Honda can get me in next week to have the winters mounted on the pizza cutters.

jmsplitfyre 11-25-2015 09:48 PM

That 20cm of snow didn't last that long, I only got to play in the shipping docks for a day because they already plowed it. :( Sadlife.

connor55 11-29-2015 09:10 PM

Im not complaining lol. Its been so much better this year so far.

What suspension do you have? I like the drop of your front 😬

I'm on Function & Form Type II's. The fronts are actually maxed out while sacrificing 5 or 10mm of spring preload. I do have the shorter springs, just waiting for springtime to swap them out.

I really considered those but i want to drive my fit all year so i replaced all of them instead with KYB shocks and struts and TanabeGf210 springs. But i don't like how the front looks higher than the rear.

Nice ride^ you are invited to our meets if you're able to make it!

spryter 12-05-2015 08:06 PM

Saskatoon is a reasonable drive to Edmonton if you're spending a couple days there.

I did go to edmonton twice this summer. I would love to do it next summer if you guys will have a meet.

Anybody here know where can i get a sport body kit, window visors and other parts for my gd. Budget meal parts would be awesome.

spryter 12-06-2015 01:57 AM

I did some searching for you, but the only ones I can find that are readily available are the JDM Mugen visors. They will fit a North American GD3, but they're around $120-180. If you save some money and want a set, RHDJapan has them at a good price, and they're very good to deal with.

Well thank you sir.
Never heard of rhdjapan. ill look it up online and see what they have. My fit has almost 260,000kms and up to this moment it didn't give me any troubles after i replaced my coil packs, plugs and did my valve adjustment.

What month do you guys usually meet in edmonton?

connor55 12-06-2015 02:54 AM

Any time people are free during the summer, weve only met once so far, but were trying to make it a regular thing.

Car is looking good!

Good luck on finding a sport kit, I've searched for more than a year and just gave up. Also after finding out that I needed to put holes one the rocker panels to install the side skirts, I said no. Keeping the base look instead.

I think Jdmland.com still sell the Mugen visors, go check them out.

spryter 12-07-2015 12:56 AM

I was just thinking, if you aren't dead set on OEM, weathertech part #82429 is a set of GD3 window visors. They sell them on weathertech.ca for $149.95.

Amazon.ca carries EBC brake parts! Going to upgrade to their rotors and pads this spring, so I think I found what I'm getting instead of my sway bar.
