drissn's es1 build
Hey fellas, thought i'd post up an intro, my names ethan, i'm from cincy, and i drive an 05 lx se.
Current mods:
Progress Lowering Springs
Front Strut Tower bar
Short Ram intake
Ex header
Hi flow cat
2.5in stainless steel exhaust
Ebay lip
Icw Tsunami rims on nexen 5000s
How she sat when I got her


Then the first thing I really did, Pick up a set of Motegi MR057s

Those were on the car all of one day... Then i picked up some ICW racing TSUNAMI rims.

Then not much happened until June when i Put on an intake and painted the calipers


Then i FINALLY got a drop. Long needed i know...


Now I picked up an exhaust (still gotta reconnect the 2nd o2 sensor :???: )
Its an ex header, hi flo cat, and full catback exhaust system. and damn it is LOUD.







And heres a vid of the exhaust from inside the car with all the windows up. Cant really tell but it is stupid loud. Its on my list of things to fix.

only pics of the car i took when it had the lip. i was rollin wingless for a bit and i removed the pinstripes.



And how my car sits today. Thinkin about sellin the icw racing rims and pickin up some racelands and spacers and makin the fits a fulltime thing

Anyway, so that's where i'm at right now. Lets hear what you guys think.

If I'm honest...

The best look for your car, from my perspective.
I'm not a huge fan of the wheels, lip, or other modifications. The Progress springs aren't terrible, though.

I love my SE wheels that came with my SE Coupe. I don't think i'd ever sell/trade em unless I happen to come across some VOLKS for cheaps.
Atleast you got rid of those hideous rims and got some ICW rims.

The bigger wheels look good. Too bad the Fit wheels don't come in a bigger size. It looks like the diameter for your wheels/tires are different because the ICW wheels look flush, but the OEM Fit wheels are tucked. You'll definitely want something with height adjustability for looks if you'll be changing wheels here and there and the wheel/tire diameter keeps change.
That's not why you buy an adjustable suspension setup. Changing the overall diameter of your wheel & tire combination is a great way to make your car unsafe. Your speedometer will be inaccurate, your brakes will not function properly, and depending on which way you go and how extreme of a change you make you could do far more damage then can be seen while the car is standing still.
