SHG_Mike's 2008 Fit Build Thread
Well some of you may remember my old DAP civic that I had, and had sold earlier this year. I made this move mostly for getting on with my life, new job done with school blah blah, so with less time to mess with my car I needed a car that would just turn key run with no BS issues like my other car had. I also just had an itch for something newer. So I called up a friend of mine who is a salesman at honda and bought me a 2008 SSM Fit sport, and have been slowly adding some this and that. Finally felt like post up what shes become so here ya go...
I didnt even have the PDI done (I used to work for honda, A PDI is just an excuse to drive the car and scratch it washing it)So it was a bit dirty
Brand new in the wrapper...
I got it with 000004 miles
all clean
I already had Kosei K1's waiting before I even had the car....
on the car
I then called up ben from AJ-R and got me a deal on some B52 Dampers...
the first teaser....
Got some Orasm Bulbs...
After taking my ASE tests...
I painted my headlights Gunmetal. Not a huge difference but its a classy difference in color rather then black.
Got some Kumho V710's for autox along with another set of Kosei's in white...
The lovely girlfriend got me a Garmin for our anni...
I then hacked up the stock airbox to get rid of the resonators and make it more free flowing with a 3" elbow and a Mugen filter...
Re welded back together..
My Second Auto-X
Bored at my old job...

Re: SHG_Mike's 2008 Fit Build Thread (AViciousTHRUST)
pegasus racing. I personally havent done testing but race teams use it a lot, and the lunar lander used it to keep it burning up on orbit entry, so Im gonna guess yes it reflects most of the heat
