Up in orngeville on friday.
Attachment 14666 Attachment 14667 Cleaned and painted the inside of the rear wheel arches before the rims went on the other day. Attachment 14668 Attachment 14669 |
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. |

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.

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!
|

Little car, big trucks.
Attachment 14227 Picked up some EG I think side markers and made a template. going to the them in this weekend. Attachment 14228 It rained the other day. I liked the way the water was beading on my hood. Attachment 14229 |
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.

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.
Attachment 14221 |
Side markers look dope. Did you just splice the wires for the turn signals and solder them together?
|
thanks. Yea the lights I got came with pigtails and I just tapped them off the front turn signals. Took about an hour to do only had to pull the fender liner down to fish the wires through.
|
Love the rims.. what size did you go with?

Thanks they weren't my first choice for rims but are growing on me. they are 17x7 with a 205/40/17 tire.
Only flash with the indicator. |

Picked up another set of rims. Much more happy with these.
Attachment 14140 They are 15x6.5 konig heliums no more rubbing and the car feels so much better with lighter rims on it. |

ebay fujita intake came in the mail on friday, picked up an air filter today and got it installed. Bypassed the coolant line from the TB need to put some split loom in it since its pretty close to a bunch of metal parts.
Attachment 14090 And my polished valve cover can sort of be seen in there. |
The new wheels are a nice touch

I totally forgot about this thread. SO here's a four year update :thumbups:
Keeping the car stock didn't happen at all. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...60c33fd2ef.jpg That time it had to get towed home since the steering lock failed, but it shows the most current rims and window visors. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...8eb02b8a59.jpg Sport front bumper, fog lights and black housed headlights https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...c2d78eca9e.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...bd947e6c2f.jpg JDM tails, Third brake light and Rep modulo spoiler https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...d3d40526a8.jpg Boooost https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...1f9e4330c7.jpg As of last week. Need to get some good interior shots put in an android radio and a few Jdm trims pieces along the way. Lots of other pics to that I may upload here or just dump into a photobucket album. |
