mr.onzedge- wow 47" sounds great! :tup: sorry to hear about the heat. i had to deal with humid 100F+ for several weeks in July. it was HOT. :ugh2:
so frikken hot i didnt get to do much outdoors with the kids.



mr.davey- :hello: i had to add oil on a regular basis until about 8k miles. from there it's slowed down considerably. :tup: this was the same way with my G when i got her 8yrs ago.

yah, i had 2 Fits back 2008-2011. i sold my 08' as i couldn't stand the pedal position and it's been in a fender bender. carmax gave me a great price so just let it go. :p i did one full year with the G as full time dd. worked out okay, im still not a fan of putting kids in the back seat in bad weather...and not being able to carry anything, ive been looking for a hatch the last 4-5months.

the current Fit's pedal position is 10x better; not as good as G and Z but for a family car it should do just fine. :tup: now i can finally carry my wheels and music gear around too, whenever.



sounds like a good way to get out of the house, ms.pint! :tup: enjoy your drive. :p



goodAM, ms.blackcherry :hello: GJ on the Z detailing. :tup:



:icon18: just another good excuse to go home in your Z to get the stuff.

Mr. Kenchan -- Where are the Fit pics? Hmmm?

mr.onzedge- hummm... i forgot to take a pict this am when i moved it out of the way to pull out my Z. :icon17:

it's a bonestock Fit still, so not very exciting to see. i think im going to get springs for it even though it rides nice. prokits are in-stock right now at tirerack with a 10% rebate. :p the ride is already soft so i dont expect the sway to be much worse running progressive rate springs.

:iagree:

Going into deep dive for educational purposes in my career. I'll pop my head up from time to time, but for a little bit I'm gonna be studious. :)

With my 2011 I added about 1/3 quart at 1200 miles and every time I checked after that it was close to the H. In fact, this oil I put in is from the rest of the quart of oil I bought for that car! :icon17: I hope I get this lucky again with my 2012.

I hope you enjoy your Fit. Are they as fun to drive as they look? I had a 2005 Si and it was OK, it did understeer a lot though.

:confused:Sounds fishy to me-we waited very patiently for kenchan (and Alcheng-teehee) to make a proper decision on the best car...decision made...congratulations handed out...kenchan finds his way home to wife and minis...but still no photos of newest addition to kenchan family! :shakes head: :bowrofl::p

I was thinking NISMO because I would have the Nissan dealer install it, but then, I do have a good shop that I think will do it for not too much, so I guess I could do any exhaust!

Since I had not considered other possibilities I would have to say I am just at the very beginning of my search. I bookmarked that site you gave me, though and I've been looking at all of those. :tup:

Installing a CBE should take less than 2 hours in a shop, and it is just a bolt-on application.

I don't think it has to be done by the dealer also dealer will charge you heavily.

It really depends on your budget, I say from $950(Invidia) to $1400(F.I.) does give you something very nice in sound and look. Performance wise, mod on CBE alone will not give you a significant boost, so you can omit those numbers... :icon17:

Have fun shopping!! :tup: :tup:

Gave her a long overdue proper bath today. She's been sitting in the driveway since my Schumacher-at-Spa-in-the-rain-back-in-his-Farrari-days-like drive around Baltimore's beltways three weeks ago.
My neighbours must think I'm mental when they see me lying on my back underneath the rear end as I clean my exhaust.

Think I'm gonna throw a few craft beers in the cooler and make a run out to Shakedown BBQ.
There's a location near there that I need to scope out for a photoshoot, too.
