Weapon R 1 piece header is technically a 4-2-1 design but the first collector has such a short length that it would kill any pulses so it would not be my first choice. Their first gen 2 piece design did run into the subframe so you add about 3/4" to each primary up top to make sure it cleared. I have no clue how they fit now but I would like to see more guys use them.

 

Not today, but HX wheel on rear...going to order extended studs and tuner lugs

 

^Tuner lugs and stock wheels are a no-no. You need standard OE style lug nuts...unless you want those wheels to separate themselves from your car.

 

Looks good, what are the HX wheels off of.

 

Use oem lugs then with extended studs?
Please explain.

96-97 civic HX coupe.

 

Its due to the contact surface were the lug nuts actually contact the wheel and the surface of the lug nuts them selves.

OEM Honda/Acura wheels are all ball seat designs featuring rounded contact surfaces. Most aftermarket wheels feature tapered/acorn seats, which is a flat angled contact surface.



Mixing the two in either application WILL NOT allow the lug nuts to correctly seat in place which WILL NOT allow the lug nuts to properly be torqued to spec due to inadequate surface contact between the wheel and lug nut... which could also allow it to work itself loose over time.

 

We should email WR for a group buy?

 

I believe that you can buy the lug nuts with the ball style to fit I think you just have the order the right ones to fit the extended studs. Not positive though.

 

Thank you guys for info I did not give any attention to or even know lol.

 

Installed the Exhaust Pipe Finisher and steering wheel emblem inserts today.

Since I'm not getting a new muffler/exhaust system anytime soon, this was the nexy best thing. Its not much of an upgrade but its way better than seeing the stock rusty muffler tip.

 

This was easy as shiz...


And ordered my ARP extended studs

 

Tried to take it up to 90 MPH, (no one was on the freeway, it was 12:30AM) got depressed at how slow it is :C

 

Sometimes you need a downhill section or a tailwind, lol.

 

That Vegas heat is making the car sluggish haha. I noticed (my Fit is tuned) that getting to 100mph is not that hard but keeping that momentum to climb is were is tough. To be honest I haven't really tried to take it past 100moh. San traffic gets congested and can get scary. Plus drivers suck.

 

Looks great, what did you use for paint? I want to do the same, wasn't sure about the heat from the engine though

 

I guess so, it was 90 something last night. AC was also on. I saw a straight with no cars so I thought 'why the heck not'.

There were also 4 people in the car, so that wasn't helping either.

All that considered, it did well. Took like 10 seconds to get from 70 to 90. Still the power is nothing to brag about that's for sure, lol.

 

I'm at the tint place right now. Yup open on a Sunday. Getting 17 all around. Not the smoke look. The charcoal look. 2 film. Better quality then the smoke look. A little lighter than 20 even though the number is lower. Saw pics at the shop. Looks dope.

Pics to be posted in my building thread. Stay tuned. Car will be dirty though.

 

Swapped out the orginal Fit emblem with the red dot emblem.

 

Yup, there is a place that sells adapters. They are like little washers that sit in the ball seat and make the wheel compatible with tapered/conical lugs. Unfortunately, shipping is like 20$ on any order so it would have to be a big box of adapters to make it worth it. Group buy???

 

Just got back from the shop. Windows tinted 17% all the way around with charcoal tint.
