Hey guys thanks for the rear set up tip, probably go with toe in at 0.08 degrees to start with, it's at the far end of factory toe specs.

Am I ok with leaving the fronts at zero toe?

yah as long as your steering wheel is straight (or close enough) and your thrust angle is fine no need to change the front.

but your car will probably feel tighter if you give it 0.03 to 0.05 per side as well.

No Z action for me today. Rain and rain and more rain.

But I got my spare Titeks in the mail and will plug her to the battery manager until next weekend.
Looks like more rain tomorrow. need to take the G out on Monday.

bummer. I've been in a yaris all day...so it's even worse here

I'm actually thinking about picking up (another) DD, since the fiancee might be taking my subaru. Thinking about a Fit--how you like it?

OK yah vs a yaris my day was definitely better! I spent pretty much the entire day in my music room and doing laundry on occasion so I was not bored at all.

The Fit packs a big bang for the buck. Its super slow in the hot weather when u have passengers on board. If u get the MT its actually pretty fun to drive. The AT sucks on it as far as any type of fun driving. For most folks its AT will do fine.

You should buy my 08 (5MT).

The only reason why I got my 08 was because my second kid was born and I needed extra cargo space than what the 06 civic-ex I had offered. But now the little guy can walk all on his own and get in out of the car on his own, no more need. I'm using my G most of the time unless I need to carry cargo.. I have another 09 Fit my wife uses so I'm covered.

Oh btw, unlike most folks car with kids, my cars are super clean inside. I don't let them eat inside the car taught them not to kick the seatbacks not to step on the sills...etc its all in the teaching.

Music room = yep Yamaha CP1, Roland VPiano, FantomG8. and my racks and stuff.

My Z was driven to the next state, but I wasn't the driver. It was stolen....
































by my wife for her book club meet. I was left with the minivan.
