Don't hate, masturbate.
But yessir. I've always wanted an EM1. While its not EBP, it works for me. Yea the S2K wheel feels awesome. I may get rid of it though down the line, so keep a lookout.
Can i be first on the list if you ditch the s2k wheel??
Aight. Thanks for the heads up man.
haha. Well, you are now third in line. So maybe.Can i be first on the list if you ditch the s2k wheel??

What's wrong with it?That's what's updamn imagine when you start driveing it
Update time.
I tried to lower my car last week and got 3 out of the 4 coilovers maxed out, but when it came time to do the final front right coil, the top ring where the spring sits, wouldn't move. After a soild week and a half of trying to make sense of it and try to fix the problem, I have to either send it back and get it fixed by Tein for around $200 or try and get a new one because they should be under warranty.
Anyways, I also got to changing the oil, which has yet ot be done on this car since I got it, as well as my first ever time doing an oil change! But hey, you gotta start somewhere right? I got it done with a bit of struggle though. The toughest part by far is trying to remove the old oil filter. It gave me plenty of trouble, but I found out that using sandpaper as an extra grip. Who would have known?!?!
But on a positive note, my Honda Fit front lip came in the other day!!! I test fitted it and it needs a little extra molding to hug the bumper but that is coming tomorrow.
Here are some picutures of my recent excapades.
Took the front bumper off for the first time to start test fitting the lip
Oil change
I also got around to putting a full spring from a rear strut onto a front strut, both from the old setup. This way the car is at least "driveable," even though the front is literally sitting on the tire.
Old cut spring on the front strut
Taking the old cut spring off
Rear strut with the good spring
Cut (left) vs Good (right)
And final result: reconstructed front strut
And a sneak preview of the front lip
That's all I've got. Lip should be on in about a couple of days. Stay tuned!

Thanks buddy! Still got a long way to go.
You shall not wait any longer sir!Can't wait...
Well, after not being on the road for 2 weeks due to one of my Tein dampers being seized, I finally get it fixed with the help of some good friends. So I was able to rebuild the seized one and lower the rest to get that good stance that I desparatly want. And on top of that, I was able to put my new Honda Fit lip on! The fitment isn't the best but it's not bad for belonging on an entirely different car.
More pictures to come.
Nice lip!
How much modification is needed to put it on to the bumper?

Really not that much. Mine is from Ebay because I wasn't entirely sure of the look, but the lip itself is a tad to big in the front curves so it flares out a smidgen. The worst part is the middle section. The lip when screwed in, as I have it, overlaps the top of the center grille area by maybe 1/8" but that's only nit-pickingNice lip!
