Texas Fits, Anything goes thread
There are a number of people that have changed the stock springs for Swift Mach Springs.... They are engineered to work well with the stock shocks and struts, have more travel, less windings, lighter in weight, fast response, firm but comfortable ride and great handling even on bumpy curves at more than twice the posted speed limit.... They are not the lowest sitting springs for a dramatic drop that will have you stressing out at every drive way you have to enter and won't wear out shocks and struts because of limited travel like most springs that are sold for a cosmetic change... They actually do improve your cars ride and handling as well as providing a lower stance that isn't impractical and can be lived with.
What she said and old Wily. It does corner so much better. They better start setting up speed traps on the corners vs straights if they want to catch me.
Funny before the Fit I was getting into habit of driving at the speed limit. That sure went out the window in a hurry.
Nope going to wait til after the first oil change.
Ah so maybe with the controller I may slow down a little bit.
I drove fast more frequently when it was stock than I do now.... It is kind of like when you shoot a .22 target pistol, then change over to a .44 magnum and realize it's just a bit much. You are more careful with it and want to know what could be down range before letting loose. 

hey marcus do you want to trade door handles? the brushed for the chrome? Only reason I offer is because I'm taking them out to sell. And I'm also selling the Mugen knob. I'm gonna have to get a replacement first tho. Also anyone who has a GD3 if you want I'd be willing to trade my shifter with T1R quick shift and H-Fit bushings for a stock shifter. just straight swap. lemme know.
I think thats it. I might sell the rep J's Grill too. Its painted MR now tho.

So this is completely random but I found these on my computer and thought I would share. So before I got my beautiful Fit, I had a 95 Chevy Tahoe 2 Door 4x4. It was my baby. Had the flowmaster exhaust, 2 12" subs, alpine speakers, jvc headunit, and side steps. I loved it so much. Well then one day I was leaving my neighborhood and as I went through the intersection doing about 25 (yes the light was green for me) a lady in a small car ran the red light hitting my driver side door causing me to do a full roll or two and slamming into a electricity pole sideways. My tahoe was on its side, and luckily I had my windows down. I think I had blacked out cause when I climbed out through the driver window after falling through to the passenger side of the tahoe (stupid gravity) the lady was already being helped by someone and the police just arrived. Anyways I walked away with 3 small scratches that didnt even scar. Here are some photos of my tahoe after the wreck
this is where she hit me



Just goes to show you that a seat belt can save your life. O and the funny part? The airbag never went off, the tahoe was still running when it was on its side, and when we flipped it over and towed it home....we put in the key and it started up perfectly. We just couldn't get in as it completely jammed both doors.

ScanGauge II
A quick favor, especially for those DFW readers: do you know how to use the ScanGauge II? I am having difficulty to decrypt the manual; however, would anyone be willing to demonstrate in person? I am quite flexible in terms of travel and scheduling.
Please send me a PM, much appreciated.
