@MNfit

I' repeat i'm really dumb in engine stuff, but it seems to me that the stock 1.5L is quite small in dimension, and I wonder how you could fit(lol play on word) a 2.4 in the small space you've got under the hood....

Also, on a 6 gears tranny, where is the 6th? I'm asking 'cuz i hate when the reverse is at the place of the 1st, like VW....

Thanks!

the engine barely Fits in the engine bay, its like frame rail to frame rail. 6th gear would be where R is on the Fits and then to put it in revers its to the right and down.

Received my Zeta armrest. Damn customs clearance. 22 bucks.

One of the 4 screws had a flat top, but i guess 3 screws to hold my tiny arm is more than enough.

Nice product. Looks OEM.

Checked my fluids out of the blue and saw that I need to top off my coolant and brake fluid. So went to the honda dealer to buy some since it seems like that's the only place you can buy the blue coolant lol and topped everything off.
