Got my car inspected today.

I'll also be putting on my OEM sport rims this week and putting the Mugen rims back in storage.

I know! You figure its a non-expensive part that they could have easily manufactured and installed right?

Any pics and what brand did you use?

I really want a dead pedal too. FitTuner.com has a RAZO dead pedal but I'm a little suspect of that one.

Honestly, I got lucky with the one that I bought off someone from craiglist. It was the zeta-products one. But it's discontinued now. I don't know about the RAZO dead pedal one, I might just use that one as a pedal add-on for the dead pedal if anything.

Did this a week ago but oh well, posting anyway. 10$ dampers from Princess Auto in Hamilton, ON. Little fab work since the brackets that came with it couldn't with the hood.

I've been dragging my scrawny arse over getting hood dampers. Why can't they just include them with the car? The hatch has them so c'mon just do away with that prop bar already.

Didn't do it all today but last weekend:

Replaced front rotors and pads + cleaned the drum brakes
Oil change
Transmission fluid change
Installed coilovers (finished adjusting to my desired height tonight)

thanks for the links but shipping would probably kill me.
Been doing some research, are konis even available for the GD?

Wanted to wash the fit tonight but didn't get home until way after dark.

a user on this board put MUGEN GD suspension on his GE, he noted front brakeline brackets are different, but he said you could buy a piece that works.

GD shock/strut bodies are a bit longer then GE, so if lowering with springs, you actually get a bit more life out of them them the GE owners

Yeah it's Milano red, maybe just a filter I used on the pic makes it look that way.
