i see a lot of people with this problem now that the car and locks are getting older. it's a matter of when not if.
I have the harness and it is not installed yet. The weekend after next is my target.

Oh yeah, Mr. Kenchan: Do I need to put you back on my Rep list? Are you sticking around for a bit?

I bought the harness. It was a 2 minute job. Done and done!

i'd expect the evor one to also have a convex contoured mirror so that your blind spots are all gone too. on my craftsquare, i dont shoulder check cause i dont need to. i dont even move my head when checking driver side.



i only drive it spiritedly once in a while and most of my time in the Fit, im just listening to music and relaxing in it. the car feels best when not pushed. i actually enjoy driving it while running errands.

after checking out many different hatches i settled on the fitsport. it's by far best bang for the buck. and the MT's are actually pretty quick unlike the AT ones. not street racing or anything, but i did pull along a BRZ the other weekend and my Fit was actually faster by 1/2 car length from a stop into an expressway and the guy could not reel me in while in 2nd gear up to 60mph. that's when we both backed off the throttle.

2013's the last year honda's making these in japan for US market. after that, it's going to be made in mexico and the ones currently sold in canada are made in china.
Better bang for buck then 200 hp 217 ft lbs, 2300 lbs, 6 mt, recaro seat, fiesta st for 20k ?? Lol

ill see later next year. Lots of new models coming to the market (golf, mini, fiesta st). i want a car that's practical and reliable but also fun to drive. ill keep in mind that fit will not be made in japan anymore.

Is your fit 5 speed?

No, it's called saving money to get what you want. Sure it might take longer, but the results will be much more enjoyable.

Mr.kenchan, I honestly like the NISMO wheels better, cos 5-spokes concave is my personal preference.

But... I will suggest you stay with the Weds since it adds personality to your Z.. which is a good thing...



The camera bag....

You won't consider PSS?? Put the PSS on the one you choose to use more often or spirit motoring....

Then wrap the DW on the other set...

Personally I don't really like the RE11, mainly is 1) Price 2) Wet Performance 3) Tread Wear.

The Z is only 14 months old, but I am going to try to take out the fuse on next Wed, still, having a peace of mind is the most important.

Hi guys. Is that Kensan?? OMG what is up Kenman? Oh and what did you do with my Drunken Ninja Raccoons. They went to your house and never returned.
