My 09 GE Taffy is all nice and shiny again
Thanks for info " less squealing tires"? I am old and don't drive mine that hard. Don't think I have ever had a tire squeal on it. But with these new tires and wheels who knows eh?
Welcome on the washers. I got it from someone else on here. I started with three and took either one or two out.

I have the same offset and the Conti DWS tires 205/50/16. Goobers has the +43 offset and he rubs on hard turns and hard bumps. I asked some Swift owners for advice in this thread.

Got the Rays mounted again with proper black tuner nuts and hub centric rings.
Yes, I will paint the drums and calipers black in the Spring before these go back on.
I also added a bit of rice last week. I kinda like it. It grows on you.

Did not give it a lot of though. Just wanted some nuts that fit so I could get the wheels on. Next Spring project.

As KC said I will paint it. Don't know why I would though. It looks so right I doubt if anyone would realize it did not come that way. I have rattle cans of Taffy as well for those moments I get into close encounters with curbs with my lip.

Hey Fellow Ontarian,
I just read your entire thread from start to finish... love the transformation...
I also have a 2009 Taffy white sport...
bought some mini wheels to paint and mount for winter.
Also installed the Honda off shore black leather. red stitching shifter boot.
Also have all the windows tinted.
My main thing is now to look at dropping the 4x4, but spending a huge amount
Great work and keep it going.
Ps. how good of a mod to tilt the seat back. do you notice a difference?

Thanks. Not much else left for me to do.
Raising the front of the seat does help a bit. Thigh fatigue is less.
What end of TO are you in?

yah, that tilt seat black3sr came up with is a great mod. i drove over 300miles one morning in my '12 MT and i had absolutely no back or thigh pain. i usually get leg pain from my 09 GE (unmodded) and worst, 08 GD when i had it. i hated the seating position on the 07-08's.
i forget the thread size... i suggest you unscrew one to measure and go to your local ace hardware where they sell loose washers and fasteners.
im curretly using 3 washer per screw on the front 2 bolts. the rear bolts no washer.

It was not my idea but I copied it. 1/2" washers should work.
While at it do the gas pedal spring mod as well. That is even better for relieving leg pain.

Wash, clay bar and wax this morning. I had a sh*t load of rail dust from the winter. First I have ever used clay. Piece of cake.
How about some pics eh?
The Shark antenna is recent.
Rear has had a lot of changes. JDM tails, Sport emblem, Blue H inserts, Fin, Removed the overpriced piece of crap rubber skidpad from bumper and added the big old HKS( that sure screwed my gas mileage cause I like to hear it)
Ready now to paint the diffuser black.
From the side - blue drums and calipers, blue H on wheels, Stainless on pillars. Just put body molding on a couple weeks ago. Got it from a USA dealer.
And on the front Kool Kevs fog vinyls. I may re-wire to turn on separately. Want to paint the surround of the H blue. Hood deflector.
Need winkers and puddle lights
Some inside pics
I had put in 2 small blue LEDs on each side but not bright enough so I added these on each side. One more on hatch to shine behind car when open would be nice.
Kool Kevs keyring light
Last one - Burlwood inlays. Honda leather shifter and Clazzio seatcovers in leather and vinyl - black with blue stitching. !2 inch blue tubes under dash and blue LED in dome light.
To do? Well winkers, , maybe the throttle thingy and maybe springs?
