Carolina Freaks' Rides

Figured I would start a thread for all our rides. I felt like putting some pics up. They're not pro by any means, and I didn't go to much lengths at prepping the car. Just snapped some pics and uploaded them. Here we go

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for your tint, and what % is it? Thanks.

My tint was $225 with the front triangles and banner which were extra. The rears, triangles, and banner are all 20% and the fronts are 35% which makes me legal for NC. Its supposed to be 35% all the way around but you can beat it by saying its a people carrier like an suv. As long as the driver side and passenger side are 35% they shouldnt give you any guff. They havent messed with me yet atleast.

Hey tougerunner86, where do you live in NC? I own a tint shop in Rock Hill SC and I give discounts to Fit owners, if I can help you out let me know.

Here's my wifes SSM Sport manual...





So far it has:
Progress rear sway bar
HID Hi/Lo headlights
HID foglights
replaced all bulbs with stealth or something
Mugen ventvisors
Mugen shifter
Skunk2 magnetic drain bolts
Zeta dead pedal
Zeta bug guard
Zeta tire caps
Tint
All weather mats
Cargo cover/cargo mat

Maybe more...can't remember. Only had it two months and I'm trying to decide how much of a project I want this to be. I know that it will at least get wheels, rear disc, and coilovers. Not sure about more.

Here's a glimpse of my project car that sits next to it in the garage...

I'm curious...was that on stock tires. On regular roads (not prepped) with the stock tires it slides before I get to that kind of lean. I have a progress rear sway which probably keeps it a little flatter, but the stock tires suck!

stock tires, stock car, 0 camber, everything stock on an airport runway for autocross. if you're not getting that kind of body roll, you're not driving hard enough

Airport runway equals concrete equals traction. That's why it's used for dragstrip launch pads, runways, and auto-x. I've done a few auto-x....not as much fun when it's on an asphalt parking lot.

Deals Gap is just coming out of it's winter stage of sand and salt. Was doing more sliding than leaning. It will be much better in a few weeks when the bikes start going and they start cleaning the road.

i don't know what you're talking about...asphalt is even more fun cause you get to slide around. the limits of the tires come earlier and it's quite easy to control when there's less grip. i'm pretty sure i will be able to get just as much body roll just cause i throw the car around so hard in an autocross.
