Very nice! Looks fast sitting still. Like your stick... almost reachable while steering

Those do look amazing! are they carbon, carbon/kev, frp, carbon frp? And i know that use of having a high shifter, cuts down on the amount of space between your hand and the shifter shile using both hands to steer which decreases shift time and improves lap/response time...so im with you on that...not for style but for function...lol

The seats are OEM Honda Seats out of a DC5 Integra Type-R, nothing fancy but they are lighter then the OEM Fit seats.

For me this is also one of those rare occasions where form and function are one in the same.

I think I'd just go for the supercharger, and swap back to stock for my smog test like all the kids do, huh?

Anyone got one of these?

Might want to hook up with Texas Coyote, DiamondStarMonsters and/or Lyons[Nightroad] about this. Just a few among others on this forum.

I don't qualify as a kid but since I live in a rural area where there is no smog test I upgraded from the Base Kit to full tilt boogie High Boost Kit... Too much adrenalin and other substances have been coursing through my body for a looooong time, so I need a bigger hit.

Greetings from eastern Québec! Keepin' ready for winter.

-Installed those old Chinese "Sunny" winter grip tires on 14". Bad and noisy as hell. But cheap. Sunny is a weird name for winter tires.

-Also I tried to put my traction aids that I had on my old civic underneath the trunk, but i can't fit them : the spare tire is takin' all the room...any tips about that?

I often use my Fit on cargo mode so i can't leave those traction aids loose...

Thanks

Hello fellow Canadian!
I've lived in the snow climate the majority of my life (Saskatoon, SK) an never heard of "Traction Aids". can you explain this?
Agreed, "sunny" is a strange name for winter tires.

Hey!
Traction aids are those steel pad that you put under your tire when you're stuck in the snow/ice:

EDIT: on the pic, they are retractable, but not mine. For those joining in, i'm trying to get 2 of those underneath the trunk.

The only traction aid I ever used was a couple of sandbags in the trunk, heh...

P.S. I didn't know what to think about the hood bug deflector, but after seeing it on yours, I think it's pretty sweet! What model is that? Erm, or is it a hood bra? Hard to see in the picture.

I can't imagine sandbags in the trunk of a front wheel drive car would help any. Maybe if it was AWD or rear!
