Thanks for the suggestion kenchan. Who knows what I'll get next.
Was thinking of this old commercial earlier today. Remember this one...
Still today the wife and I say "the Fit is Go" when we talk about driving it. Silly...I know. They've had some of the worst commercial of all time.

Well guys...I just did one of the base tunes...and I am definitely impressed. Much better power band. Definitely feel the mid range torque increase.
Gotta do some more research on these tuning options at my disposal to fine tune it to my likes but so far it's worth every penny. I had fun driving it before but now it's on another level.

Also received my H&R Springs yesterday from TireRack. Their estimated shipping delivery was next day and I was a bit skeptical since it was coming from 500 miles away and shipping UPS Ground...but they sure delivered (pun intended).
Order placed noon Tuesday....left Nevada at 9pm...arrived in SoCal (100 miles away) around 4am...was at my distribution hub at 730am....on the truck for delivery by 830am.....delivered 245pm.
Got a bunch of measurements to take in order to share before and after dimensions since NO ONE knows how to do a detailed suspension review these days
Good luck with the GTI kenchan. Deep down I'm hoping you end up with a Civic haha. But a WRX is still fun too and 4-door insurance is typically cheaper than a 2-door from my experience.
Speaking of selling cars I got the Title/Pink slip for the Miata...time to clean her up, take pics and post for sale. Maybe even try carmax.

shinjari, that is awesome!
Did you get those wheels also?
Your Civic is making a big transition all at once! More powa, more wheels, more swaybar, more low...it's just MORE! Love it and we'll need pics of that bad boy! Jealous!

Thanks GAFIT. Yeah Its all at once...kinda nuts. I'm still in contact with the guy and I think we are both in agreement that I'll likely be buying them....just haven't done so haha.
Since I'm in the process trying to switch jobs, I was kinda trying to wait for that PTO/COMP/Vacation payout to justify it. I mean...I have 6.5 weeks of comp saved up so thats a pretty payout haha.

I'm not a fan of the president, but if this leads to the US going back to being more self reliant, then it's worth it in the long run.
We have all the resources we need and yet we rely on other countries to do the work. Look at steal...the Chinese buys our junk metal, processes it, and then sells it back to us at a profit to them.
Some of our US companies need a wake up call. Honda, Toyota, VW, Kia, Hyundai, BMW, etc are all doing just fine manufacturing and selling products in the US. Sad that our own companies chose the wrong path.

Sad for those of us that like JDM and German car stuff though!
I bet the value of the stuff already here will go up if this comes to full fruition. Kenchan, your wheel collection could become worth more than it cost you!
Wonder if I need to buy wheels for the Fit now?

Oh she knows I have time saved up just not exactly how much...but the wheels will be bought regardless at that point as a 'good job getting a new job'...and maybe a little getaway vacation planned for when i have time off built up again haha.
