Bad news... most of the remaining Fit fund was used.
Eh, I'd much rather have a home, a place to call my own rather than parts for a Fit. Congratulations on your new digz!!!

Agreed. But I really want to finally have this done with now that I am approaching 9 months from my initial designs.

At least I'll have my 1G up and running by late spring though, at this rate. The mortgage and the DSM get priority.. in that order ofcourse.

The woman fits in their somewhere too.

Changed the stock battery on my '08 GD3. It's so friggin' hard to find such a tiny battery out here in Germany. So glad I'm moving back to the states in a month, I haven't been home in over 7 years.

May be hard finding a small battery but America also doesnt have Autobahn....or Nurburgring...or Michael Shumaker...AMERICA Y U NO LOVE CARS LIKE EUROPE? lol

On a side note, finally washed and waxed the Fit...it turned out *meh* but the wax didnt work as well I think because it was cold...cool surface <> cold weather. >.<

I've officially started returning the Fit to stock form for the trade up to a FA Civic Si. Here's the list of things currently unspoken for:

WeaponR Front Strut Tower bar

WeaponR Short Ram Intake(filter will be cleaned for you and tube polished)

HKS High Power axle back exhaust (will also be polished and comes with spring-bolts) <---I dare you to find this for what I'm willing to sell it to you for in America. HKS pulled out of the US due to economics surrounding the tsunami. Their prices shot up by about 30-50%. My car wa NEVER lowered so the muffler was NEVER dragged on ANYTHING. Will be flawless after I polish it to a shine.

Will have a FS thread up soon with pics. Holla if you want dibs and I will get your name on it and get shipping prices for you.

Installed the full nose mask and exhaust tip finisher. Waiting for my K&N drop-in filter to arrive tomorrow and to install my GT-N's and window tint on Friday.

Had the photoshoot for the big car show flyer that will be coming out for the August show which raises money for Ronald McDonald House. We had a great time although washing my car on Sunday morning in 30 degree weather was a little cold. The sun came out that afternoon and it was so much nicer.

Here is the MR Fit with some other show cars.... I may be prejudice but I think the MR Fit looks pretty darn good to be a soon 5 year old DD !

Sanded and buffed the crap out of my window visors, they are almost nice and shiny.

Does anyone have tips in restoring the visor plastic?
