well, spotted a black fit, black OEM tails, red badge, 08 fit, with bug deflector(name?), konig silver rims, and exhaust, parked at a handicap spot at the kirklands beach cafe parking garage. not lowered tho, hmmm i wonder!!

hopefully sometime in summer i can make it out to some of the meets, but the suck part is that i get off work at 4pm the earliest on saturday. do you guys wanna do a kirkland meet at the restaurant i am working at? it's now in kirkland, right by the water, when it's nice out, lake washington blvd looks like a good spot for car meet!

welcome aboard snuggy!

 

welll, spotted another dusty black 07 fit on 405 northbound today, FIT badge removed, lowered with stockies in powdercoated black, got a LEM plate, 7725 or something, nice tint, i was in a blue yaris, tryna catch up and give a nod, but too much traffic, then this FIT exit onto exit 10, coal creek pkwy, just wanna say, NICE FIT!!!

 

hey bigg_kidd, glad to see you are still around!

 

yea i am still around, just no time go online check the forums, pretty much after work is home cooking for the family and spend time with them. plus nice days are coming, so many family plans are planned, but i am still around.

btw, what/which engine oil do you guys use? how about oil filters? oem? fram? use full synthect or just regular? would full synthect too good for our engine? i just need to find a cheaper way to change my car's oil witout going to auto shops to change oil. i dont trust ppl out there these days.

 

oy, i need to do an oil-change too. I know Honda's OEM filters are built by Fram. I'm doing some research on what filters to get.

 

i use royal purple 5w20 with a hamp oil filter. seems to work just fine but is not cheap.

 

aye. i don't trust most oil shops due to using less oil so you return faster.

as far as diy if you don't want to spend the money on royal purple (which i think is the best ive ever used) try castrol gtx. its actually not a half bad product for a decent price.

i just use the auto zone fram. filter. nothing special but its cheap and had no problems with it.

thanks for the intro big kidd.

 

just picked up the mirage paint kit from shucks. used it on my center caps for my enkei rims. looks awsum. green and purple camelion. would recommend it.

 

what enkei wheels you running?

 

well, i changed my oil, purchased fram at the end, figured its cheaper, and i didnt hear any bad things about them, i am not racing hardcore, so cheap filters and normal mobile 1 5-20 is fine, i am not using synthect anymore, it might harm my engine than do good to it. i read an article somewhere here awhile back about using synthect or not on our engine, so i am cautious now, and i dont change it for every 5k miles, save some money,

i just lowered the front 1/4 of inch, still looks like it never lowered, so i guess i will lower a bit more in a month or two. as long as i am not slammed, i dont think i'll need a camber kit.

snuggy, what kinda paint is that? to paint rims or what? post up pics please!

 

heh, 2 of my 3 cars have enkei rims on them.

kidd, the rule of thumb is after 1.5-2" you will need a camber kit. I do believe this goes both lowering and raising.

 

Anybody with a GE want an Ultra Racing rear sway bar? I'm about to take it off soon and don't need it laying around.

 

how come ya taking the bar off?

 

Installing J's Racing showas.

 

nice! hope they feel good.

 

If you remember J L, he's out enjoying his J's set up. He asked when I went to the Mt. St. Helens meet if you were coming.

 

J L... hmm, kinda but not really. I wish I had known about the helens run... I would have tried to go.

 

you should run the j's with the sway bar.

 

wait, was J L from oregon?

 

how much did the j's showa cost ya man?
