Use fishing line to go behind the t on fit. Once t is loose you can simply pull it off slowly. Once off use your thumb to roll the sticky stuff off. NO FINGER NAILS. Then use goo b gone on micro fiber to clean remaining. Then wax to remove remaining shadow.

So it was a successful night at the track. I believe I was running the slowest car there, but that did not stop the fun that was had (I wasn't planning on winning any races).
The predictions from the friends that I was with were: ~20sec; 19.2sec; high17's.

The best time achieved was on my first run: 18.080. Buddy (turbo RSX) in the next lane was turning off the track while I was "flying" across the finish (finish speed 75.xx mph). I don't have my slips right now but I'll edit later with all the details.

By far my favourite race was against a friend in a CRX with a B-series swap (he typically runs low 14s). We are staged... GREEN... and I leave him at the line, literally (he stalled). I have a chance to win this for bragging rights forever. I chirp shifting into second and see him leave the line (finally). In the end he beat me by .3xx but the reaction times were .6xx to 4.5xx

When all said and done, the Low-end torque is completely missing in the FiT. my best 60' time was 2.6xx. that's were the race is lost.

Maybe I'll go to the the next event and try to best myself...at least break into the 17's.

This holiday weekend I bought a new two way pager alarm for my red 08 base jazz. She is equipped with a tilt sensor as well... Why? Oh just because she is also receiving Konig Zero-in wheels as well. My only debate is that I ordered 16s and I haven't found much on whether I should keep it 16s or go 17s... /: oh well she isbeautiful regardless. Pics soon to come. It is hard to tell she is a base with her fin.

I have 16's on my civic and the only reason we went 17s on the fit was that you can find way more tire choices in that size. 16's have fewer choises and tend to cost the same. Either way though they will look good.

Did a bit of cleaning inside the Fit today. Wiped off all the dust from the plastic panels and the dash... temporarily locked myself in the hatch area in the process too.

Going to head into town in a bit and then wash the Fit when I get back... maybe wipe down the engine bay too.

Tires are bald so I drove in the rain and was massively over-steering. Very scary but some how fun o-o
