mr.onzedge- wow 47" sounds great!

sorry to hear about the heat. i had to deal with humid 100F+ for several weeks in July. it was HOT.

so frikken hot i didnt get to do much outdoors with the kids.

mr.davey-

i had to add oil on a regular basis until about 8k miles. from there it's slowed down considerably.

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.

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.

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!

enjoy your drive.

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.

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.

the ride is already soft so i dont expect the sway to be much worse running progressive rate springs.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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...

Have fun shopping!!

I guess there's really no point in posting pictures if it's bone stock,eh?

Pintsize725 · 08-12-2012, 02:05 PM

I agree sir! Heading out in a few but totally granny driving it.

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.

Isamu · 08-12-2012, 04:29 PM

not much... only been up for 3 hours lol
