How have I never seen your Fit? That's the Target by the South Bay Galleria right? Nice ride. I'm always looking around to see a non-stock Fit in my parts but have only seen maybe one.

Yep got the rsb as well. Need to get an alignment today or tmrw. Autox event on Sunday so I'll post a review after that.

The car feels so planted in corners just from the initial test drive.And it's like the threshold where it would start to push is higher.

I never see a modded Fit in our area!

That is in fact the Target in Redondo and you can usually catch me in this area.

We have a meet in Cerritos if you're free tomorrow night so you can meet some more local members

Wow, that looks much better. Nice going!

I'm fortunate to live in a state that doesn't require a front plate, but am going to keep this in mind should a hoped-for move come about down the road.

I would be in heaven if the TPMS put the actual tire pressure on the dash... that'd be so cool/useful. For me anyway. Do they have anything like that that doesn't require a sponsored race team to acquire? Probably no lol
Wanderer,

Just today I was looking online for a temp probe to measure my tire temps and happened to come across this. I immediately ordered one.

TPMS Add-on

I may not look at while out on circuit, no time really when going full tilt, but coming into the pits or just after the final lap before a cool down lap or anytime during a session I can quickly monitor versus pulling into the pits, undoing my harness, jumping out, measuring pressures, getting back into the car, re-buckling my harness and getting back out on circuit wasting precious time I paid for. Small price to pay for saving time. Batteries in the sensors last for 12~15 hours, that is plenty of track days and that is the only time I would use this really. It's nice that any wheel you throw on your car you can just attach this to your valve stem. Should work in conjunction with the stock TPMS that you guys have there and provide more useful data than just a dummy light. I don't have a dummy light on my Fit here.

Cool

Just had my new wheels installed today and the summers transferred over to the new ones so that way when winter comes I'll have the winter tires mounted and balanced on the stock steelies and use them for winter so I won't ruin my nice and really good looking wheels I just bought!

Had my brake fluid flushed and changed to DOT4 Pentosin.

Yes I "had it changed" at a local garage and did not DIY. 30 minutes and best $45 ever spent. Pedal feel is great.

Now time to see if i'm fading the pads or if it was the fluid causing the problem. The brake smell leads me to believe it's the pads though lol

until you upgrade your brake pads, you will get fade. although factories are ceramics, they are low-grade

Rising sun decal

So I am just minutes away from installing a new decal for my gas cap from TFB Designs. Turned out fantastic! I am just wondering if the "rising sun" decal is too offensive? Some compare it to the Confederate flag...eeeks! I just like the design. Am I crazy? The red and white will look great against the VBP body color. Am I going to get obscene gestures?

I've never heard of the rising sun being even quasi-racist. Also I think the fact that you spent money on a vehicle made by a Japanese company pretty much negates any possible racism anyway.
