Thanks! we are east coast..for now

I agree, it's nice to share an interest

 

So i have been so busy enjoying my fit now that the suspension has been upgraded...that i haven't managed to take more than one single crappy cell phone picture...but here it is!



rides so much better, feels amazing, looks fantastic!
we did end up rolling the fenders because i was rubbing in the front and back, we couldn't set it to the lowest setting (although I was tempted) because I rubbed really bad. Must get better fitting tires!

The best part is, I can now reach the roof when I am washing the car!

 

Love the update! Not sure if I asked you this before, but what happened to the green K1's? And what "big plans" do you have once the car is paid off? Keep up the good work!

Being 5'6" and going through the same thing, this part literally made me lol

 

I have the green ones...they are around for winter. We are debating making the fit a race car after it is paid off and switching it over to manual. Or mike may make it his dd and we'll focus on the mugen for racing. Either way I plan on purchasing a crz as my daily by next summer

 

yeah the reaching the roof made me chuckle...

looks good!

 

what size tires are you running?

ps- congrats on your recent wedding!

 

it's the truth! I am barely 5'5 and this drop made a huge difference!

I am running 205/50s my good tires were abruptly removed when I bolt managed to go through my tire. these are crappy autox leftovers and one has a flat spot. in need of better!

thanks about the wedding! same relationship, different name.

 

Great build thread. I love what you have done with your car.
I wish my Mrs was as interested in cars as you are. I have to sneak mods past her, lol.
Keep up the good work!

 

ahhh, i see. Get some 195/45s

all the females around my area that drive fits are all aunties, such a shame

 

haha yeah i hated fits when they came out..mostly because of the people I saw driving them hahah

I'll probably get new tires sometime this summer...we were waiting to see how much longer this was going to be daily driven but, the thoughts this moment are that someone is going to continue to so a tire purchase would be worth it.

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it. Don't give up on the Mrs...she may change her mind. I grew up doing car stuff with my dad, I am one of 5 and the only daughter and I'm more into cars than all my brothers combined. hahah

 

I love...this car...so much! Looks so good! Took advantage of the fact that I can reach the roof and washed the car tonight for the hard parking meet tomorrow...












not too bad for 102,000 miles

 

What kind of Toe Plates were you talking about? Was it for the rear? Ive been wanted to get that rear toe situated...

 

we just got toe plates to do an alignment after installing the new suspension. The toe plates are the tools to measure the alignment...they themselves will not fix anything.

 

Picture of how said toe plates work...

 

Ahh, I already know about these, just didnt know the term. Did you guys fix the toe? Washers? Im still hesitant to use this technique

 

chiq - what did you use to paint your foglight housings? plastidip or other?

seems to be holding up well...

 

I havent done it yet. I just didnt have the time. It will take a lot of trial and error of fitting washers and then checking it, then changing the washers and re checking it etc.

 

Up close the blue is starting to show through with all the sand blasting it gets on the highway. I want to try out the plastidip product as it seems to be all the rage now-a-days

 

Truth. We used spray paint and they held up until about last winter. Need another coat for sure but from far away you can't tell.

 

Uh oh hail! We had a big storm the other day while I was at work... Came out to damage on the hood, roof, a pillars...so looks like my car is going to be in a shop for a while. Good thing is that my 108,000 mile fit is going to look brand new.
