Talk to Koi, he has had one on his car about 2 years... I believe he is either in San Diego or L.A. San Diego sounds right but I'm not trusting my memory a whole lot lately.

Boost is addictive, actually HP in general is addictive. So much so that after basically maxing out my Auto Fit I went and pulled the engine for a bigger one :P

You'll have a hard time not boosting it, just wait and see.

Can anyone give me some pointers on how to remove the plastic piece on the headliner that the rear seatbelts thread through, I am afraid I will break them.. I have a kit with the tools to pry them loose but I'm missing out somewhere on what to do... I need to get a C pillar bar installed or I will have no place to hang and display my whips and chains when I go cruising for some excitement.

Tee-Cee, if you have a pry tool you can easily remove them, they're a little pliable so you wont damage them. When I installed mines I had to, for some reason trim the upper edge of it to fit around the pillar bolt that secures the strut bar.

Here ya go T.C. Steps number 2 and 3 under the first section labeled "Rear Seat Belt" should be what you are asking for in the link below. The strange gray icons on the site show a somewhat blown up image of the parts, you may have to zoom in or out on the picture to see it though.

Removed some stickers on the hatch to clean it up and then ordered a front tow hook on e-bay. They only had it in red wanted black and no one seems to have it. May ask a friend to powder coat it black for me once it comes in.

I have one, but you won't pass smog with the s/c in ca. Needless to say that you have to take of the whole kit just to smog it and then put it back on. It's a good go to stock again get together n it's a pain in the arse. Trust me I've had mine on now for close to two years, and I have to smog his year. I don't know what's taking kwsc so long to get the patent for the emissions, but the s/c is well worth he money. (next to a k swap)

Got the front half of my Pro-Cs in and adjusted this afternoon, now the Fit has been properly lowered. Can't hardly describe how much better the car rides with the Pro-Cs, and I didn't really mind the ride on cut Skunk2 springs! Suffice it to say that I no longer wonder why Coilovers cost so much more than lowering springs, there really is no comparison.

I see you got your priorities straight! Nothin' like a man-garage - just add on a kitchen and a bathroom around the "MAIN room" of the house.

So is that a new synthetic? Or is it just new cuz its Honda OEM? I am thinking about switching to synthetic and would appreciate your advice/thoughts on what u would use. Btw I have 52000 miles
