Looking good Mike, bet your in the 40s on the mpg. Honda needs to revisit the old tech and learn how to get better mpg.

Just purchased one of the hardest to find peices, an armrest. Evidently back in the 80's armrests and cup holders where not such a big deal as they are now, how many cupholders does Fit have now? 15-20? Man what I would give for a cup holder that hold a lg. cup of coffee! in the ol' civic! If it had that I might kkeep'er hahaha. She's sooo low now are going 1.5"-2" lower you'd have to be under 25 to get outta this car. Be like getting out of a skate board haha.

Good God this would be a fun project car for me. What a blasty blast!
If anything ever happens to my car, I'm picking up one to tote around til I can pay cash for the next one. Not that I want anything to happen to mine, just sayin.

Unhappy Purple Rain purrple....

Well we got a monsoon rain yesterday ya know when it flys off the roof sideways while the car is parked. This left the carpet on the fenders a little wet and took out my new engine relay . The good thing is that I found where they're at. I Googled it and found 1 post where 333 in civicclub.com had the same thing happen. Took the cowl off and the area where the hood, firewall and fender meets is covered with seam-sealer and over time this spot w/ the dirt and water the sealer lifts and lets rust start it's ugly invasion. So took the cowl off tonight and cleaned the loose stuff off , tommorow give it some good 'ol elbow grease and rust killer and Saturday seam-seal it really well and if it lasts another 24 years that will be about all I need .

Cleaned the cowl area removed the old sealer and rust. As I was rinsing the area I could see the water coming in. Resealed using brush on seamsealer the good stuff haha and there's an 80% chance of rain tommorow so I'll place papertowels where it leaked.

Exclamation Coming to the End

Well the cowl leaks are fixed! And Lil Civvy is shorter than the chain-length fence in the backyard. Today me and a couple of friends replaced the shocks/springs, front rotors and pads, tie rod ends, upper control arms and lower ball joints! It's like a new ride !No more creaks and growns

Question Civvy wearing MzFiT's shoes

The offset is wrong but they look nice

Sorry if I missed it but what is that reflector below the back window? The rims add character.
