Hey Guys! How's thing? I'm back,... well ok, not really lmao.gif
To the Admins,... Thanks for keeping my account active for well over 2 years of inactivity! Can I have my mod status back now too,... wink1.gif Just kidding.
Just thought I drop by and say hi. All the newbies, are like "WHO THE HELL is this guy?" Hehe nana.gif
To all the vets! And peeps who bought my old parts,... How's it Going?
I still live in Japan at the moment, things are alright,... miss my old Tib. Some 20 year old university girl is driving it now 02.gif The guys back at the shop still see it come in for service once in a while. Looks ok, but nothing like how I used to keep it. Oh well.
Anyway, I joined the dark side (The other H) and I was driving this for about a year:
A 2005 Honda Fit, 1.3L with the CVT.
It had a WHOPPING 88HP! Good GOD, it was slow, but it was FANTASTIC on gas! tongue.gif
But I had enough of the boring drive so a couple of months back,... I GOT THIS:
A 2008 Honda Civic FD2 Type R
LOVE THIS THING! It's got a bit of kick wink1.gif Also handles like no other FWD I have ever driven! Bloody thing is FAST. It's stock at the moment, but handles like 10 times better than my Tib ever did, even with my Eibachs springs, struts, and sway bars along with my Juntos bars! Geebus! One of the main reasons I bought this puppy. smile.gif
Well anyway, will check back once in a while to say hi.
Redz I see you on MSN a few times, gimme a shout sometime!
Take it easy guys

I remember you clear as day! It has been a while. It's not the same without you, and without a few others who left me 02.gif
I like those new hondas. the fit is a good car, gets like 52 on gas. they've got a lot of common sense now, something they didn't have before. i like how the rear bottom seats can fold anyway you want without having to take them out for extra room. i also like the new civics and the R versions. the interiors are very rugged, sporty, a bit on the hard side though. the dashboard is a little wild and hard to clean, but nonetheless attractive. handling is nimble and stiff, suspension a bit hard on the sport version.

I like the Type R, but the guys at Top Gear slammed it.
BTW, is the Fit called the Fit over there? I thought it was the Jazz or something like that?
