But the Dead Pedal Cover, that says "Fit" on it is on ebay.


"Auto Fuel Brake Foot Rest AT Clutch Pedal Pads Replacement For Honda Fit"


Check it out. It comes from China, and takes about a month to get with free shipping.

Oh.

Didn't do anything to my actual car today except drive it, but did tune the hell out of my Fit RS in GT6. It's the first car you HAVE to buy in the game when you start it. How awesome is that?

I could have sworn it was unavailable last time I checked their site, thanks for the clarification

Well it looks offical, I must have gotten a bad (or old) batch of decals from Work.

The shop I deal with even had their supplier come to the shop and see how the decals weren't 'sticking' to my wheels.

So Work was going to drop a new set in the mail, and I should see them in a couple weeks. I sure hope the new set actually sticks!

On a more positive note, I finally got my OEM visors installed, and I'm super happy with the way they look

Congrats on the visors, I have been using mine since May and I really find them useful (but a pain in the azz to dry after washing the car)

I find it's best to drive around the block a few times to get any water off the car then come back over it with a clean microfiber towel on the inside of the visor with the windows slightly lowered

Ha...that's funny. I like to play around with upgrades on the 2009 Fit in Forza. It seems to be extremely realistic and responds very much like my real life 2012 Fit.

Go for it Juan!

Here is the link:

Blox Performance Antenna

I bought the shortest one they have available and it comes with a screw already in it so nothing else is needed

Your old Slopster installed a $70 Costco Kirkland Signature 51R 500CCA amp battery into the 2010 Honda Fit base today. Disposed of the old battery tray and jacked up the 51R battery 1-inch with two short pieces of expansion board (for concrete expansion joints). My 51R battery posts were "close" to being the right size but I went ahead and sprung $2.38 at O'Reilly Car Parts for a couple lead battery post shims. Clamped it all down.... working like a charm.

Installed spoiler brackets on my ge8 today that I got from fellow fit freaks j1nNju1c3 and fitnoy78. They look amazing and the install was simple and very quick with easy to follow diagram.

Wow. Changed the spark plugs a week ago and MAN did it improve my fuel economy! I mean, I've only gone through one full tank on the new plugs, but my avg mpg at the pump was 35! And that's with my same, normal weekly driving. It has only been around 30 for the longest time, getting as high as 32 sometimes. Changed the serpentine at the same time, but I would have to think it's the new plugs improving the fuel economy. It's just one tank of gas, but a very noticeable difference right off the bat so I'm confident the improved mpg will stay. I won't wait 104k miles to change them next time! Probably change them after 50k miles since it's pretty damn easy and cheap.

You can check out my fuel up log here - My FIT (Honda Fit) | Fuelly. Easy to see the drastic improvement by comparing my most recent fuel up with all the past ones!

Any way you could measure the length of the antenna for us?

Do you think the computer might adjust for this over time? Let us know in a few weeks if it's still as good. S2k plugs right?

Oh, and you left your tools on top of the battery if you're wondering where they are...

Nope NGK IZFR6K13 (s2k uses diff plugs). Bernardi shows these and a Denso model as replacements. Autozone doesn't sell the Denso ones so I went with the NGK. I was expecting to pull Denso plugs out, but they turned out to be the NGK ones. Exact same part number as the replacements I bought. Since they are the stock replacement I doubt the computer has much adjusting to do. I'm sure it was just because the others had over 100k miles on them and had a bit of build up and just being old they probably weren't working as efficiently anymore. Hence why you replace spark plugs. I sure hope the improvement stays though!

Maybe you saw a post a few pages back about someone using an S2k oil filter on the Fit though. I said I would try it. That could be where you got that idea!

Here you go - Sprintex - Superchargers and Supercharger Systems | Honda Jazz. I believe Sprintex is the only company who makes a SC for the GE. Could be wrong. No clue about the CARB legality, but they're an Australian company so I doubt they care much about making them legal in one US state. At the same time though I would assume it's fine. All kinds of cars have superchargers. You don't mess with the exhaust or anything like with a turbo setup so you should be fine. I don't know the specifics of the CARB laws though

Lol yeah that was a while ago, I probably just mixed up everything that was going on in this thread. Thanks for the info though, I got excited that there was an easy way to get better mpg
