alright, motored my Golf-R and had a great time. not sure wtf is with lexus pansies in my area had 2 DB cut me off dis am while minding my own biz. one was a RC350 aka slow pos with skinny sedan tires on a big arse butt, another was a GS350 (?) also a glorified camry for middle aged losers who couldn’t afford a real lux sedan.

it’s like dey are unknowingly poking a stick at a tiger not knowing da real power of a Golf-R dat could really hurt deir flimsy ego and feelings. anyway i pardoned dem cause i was enjoying the tunes in my ride. haha dey too stupid to know wat a car is.

QDed afterwards and further trimmed da clearbra on da Golf-R where prone to collecting grime along da edge.

after looking at many pictures i decided to go with factory rear aero splash guards for my WRX instead of the STI diffusers. the diffusers would look okay on my silver STI, but da black trim makes the bottom edge of the rear bumper look shorter in dim lighting on my white WRX... and i didnt want to get some junk ebay spats on my ride either so ditched the diffuser idea all together.

should have it in my hands this week...hope to install before da weekend since its a simple install.

this is a blue STI limited, but u can see how the line flows from the front splitter down the rockers and onto the rear splash guard.

I honestly think two things...
1. There's not a big market for small hatches in the US.
2. There are better options in the hatchback market than the GK.

Just ordered an R18 (2006 1.8 Civic) throttle body for the Fit. Seems like it made very little of a spark here on FitFreak, but it was mentioned 8+ years ago that it bolts on and is 55 vs 50mm. I'll get it here and try to get decent pictures and analyze whether or not it's a true bolt on. Cheap enough to give it a shot.

Rear aero splash guards huh? Didnt go rally flap route? Haha.

I'm reconsidering getting OEM splash guards. Saw a new chip on the lower area behind the wheels. Think due to the spacers/offset of my wheels now, there is more debris being kicked out the side.

Happy Tuesday everyone.

haha, yah i never liked making my cars look like pickup trucks with mud flaps. i mean if i’m really driving gravel id consider it for functionality but not my thing. the splash guards im getting are painted and appear more like an aero piece.

i doubt it has much functionality though. more for looks.

not it sure why honda doesn’t offer dem painted. looks so much cleaner that way.

I've never liked mudflaps. With my wheel/tire sizing, my front fenders take a beating from rocks/dirt/etc.

I prefer that to mudflaps haha

should clearbra your rockers. i did dat on my 370z a while back. cheap too, just get a generic roll from amazon.

dese days i don’t run wide wheels and tires on my cars since no need with awd so no need to clearbra da rockers.

Anyone have a place they recommend for getting a Hondata? Appears they have fixed pricing, but maybe someone knows someone that knows someone that...

German food here for dinner. It's German week at Aldi's.

Found a store that cut me a break on the FlashPro. Made payment tonight. Ouch! Hope that darn thing works well. I think it's the most I've ever paid for a tuning device without tuning.
