Yes sir, now I can fully deflate. It's also less bouncy since I'm not bottoming out the damper.

No pictures this time, but this evening I hard wired a USB charger for my android phone using this video:

Hardwire Car Charger. - Video

The last thing I need to do to complete my discrete setup is figuring out a way to run the audio cable up to my phone cradle which is suction cupped to the little side window to the left of my steering wheel. Does anyone know what available connections are on the back of the stock stereo? Some time this week I'm going to take my dash apart and look.

I'm waiting for a reply from one of our member here 'coz he's selling his Depo set. Can't wait. Do you have a pic of them lit up?
Nice! Bet it'll look good. Yeah I was supposed to get Steezo's 15x8 Enkei 92s but something came up and the trade couldn't go through. Yeah here's a pic

Oh nice! Do you mind sharing where you bought the set from? I was waiting for a pm from a member on here but I guess he bailed out on the sale.

It definitely looks good tinted but unfortunately here, cops are on our ass with tinted tails.

Im a few days late to post this, but I filled the tank for the first time on Sunday... 31.5mpg. Not too shabby. I'll be road tripping this weekend to a town just outside Joplin Missouri. I can't wait to see what's the fiance says about it. She hated the GTI's seats and ride on long trips.

Edit - btw the tinted tails look good with the black paint. Now get ridiculous and murder out the wheels. Blacker than the blackest black.

Added trophies number 23 and 24 to our collection. A few more shows and the Fit is officially retired from car showing. Just getting too many rock chips and just have things around the house that I need to work on. Will spend next years vacation actually on vacation instead of taking the day before car shows off as "vacation" and then working myself to death detailing. It has been fun and I will still go to shows to hang out with my friends and in a few years a new projet will be in the garage.

On Saturday the 1st, I took her to the auto hobby shop on Schofield Barrack, HI. and changed her brake pads, and oil. She jus went of 60k...thought it would be a good idea.

Nothing too intense, but I installed a class one hitch, and bought a Yakima Highlite three bike rack. It's a bit daunting driving 1000K with about 50lbs of mountain bikes bouncing around on the back. Especially with how skinny the mount is to fit the class one hitch.

Whoa, only 50 lbs? You must have some really nice machines. I'd probably hang my luggage on the racks, and put the bikes inside the Fit!

I used to do that. Same with snowboards. One season I had a lot of mold under the folded down seat from all the moisture.

hrmm... hard to say. I did 5 trips helping them move. I don't think I had but maybe 300-400lb on it at one time. It never felt that heavy.

It was definitely not as heavy as when I had my VTX1300 motorcycle on a trailer with the Fit, which is 700+ lbs.
