Project Panda - My 2010 Taffeta White Honda Fit Sport Build

kenchan

you can shorten 2 of the legs to keep you level. (dont do that!)

so you look like me riding my kid's bike.

loled@ wanting casters.

Wowzers! I had a friend who was 6'10" he surprisngly fit really well in my Z

kenchan

the 350Z and G35C's have a much wider range of body size they can fit.

the 370Z is pretty much for taller guys or guys that must have short legs and long torso... i cant' see shitt over the factory dumbo side mirrors making a left turn in my 370Z. thus i have the craftsquare mirrors on my Z.

no such issue in my G35C or any previous cars ive owned.

I'd say my height is the cutoff point for the Z. I can't really fit in it with a helmet on but damn it I am tracking it at Z Nationals anyway. If it becomes more of a regular basis I will opt for racing seats to give me more room and be more comfortable on the track. But with work switching me back to a travel position I may not have time for that next year

yah, ive read that about folks having issues while having a helmet on...

should've seen the fatarse that did the smog check on my Z... he was so huge i could barely fit inside to start the car. other employees were cracking jokes at him that he will get stuck.

ZMan8

what's your height?

EDIT: nvm just saw you're 6'4/6'5". That's actually my height and I agree, I'm not sure I would fit with a helmet without doing some seat mods.

6 4" ~ 6 5" he noted, mr.zman.

I would of not let him in my car. People can say what they want. That I am mean or an arsehole. But there is weight limit to get in the Z. If you have to fall in. Or need the jaws of life to get out you are just too big.

Back somewhat on topic. Have either of you experienced the arm rest on the door of the Fit cracking? I think my drivers door is cracked. I never put my elbow on it as its too low for me. Wonder if it would be covered under my CPO warranty...

Yah, unfortunately I had no choice but to let the guy start the car.

As for the fit, no issue with the arm rest. Should be covered under warranty.

Waiz

You might be able to get the dealer to cover that door arm rest.

If not I think it's a pretty cheap part that you could easily replace yourself.

When I got the Panda tinted my tint guys actually removed the door cards for easier access

I'm not generally a big fan of the Fit or other similar cars, but I have to say I like what you have done with yours. Looks good man.

Waiz

Thanks, I can't tell you how many times I have heard a statement similar to this

I am about 4 months into ownership and honestly could not be any happier and I am glad I made the decision to buy it.

speedfreek

Thanks im going to call the local dealer tomorrow and see what they say. If not I will be looking for the best place to order a replacement at some point if it starts driving me crazy.

no pictures, but i did manage to strip off all old sealant and do the one-step sealant over the weekend on my '12. car looks brand new again.

also ordered up the front Aries a/s floor mats for my '12. going to give the newish factory a/s mats to my '09. i looked at the a/s mats in my 09 (originals) over the weekend and noticed a small hole in the driver mat.

will need to do the sealant on the 09 pretty soon... not really looking forward to that.

Well you inspired me to get an OEM car cover since my EP3 is going to start sleeping outside. I got a real good deal on this authentic Si car cover since they no longer make my car anymore. All existing accessories are on sale and once sold will be discontinued. Only problem is its in blue. It just feels like it belongs on a VBP EP3.
