What did you do to the GD Fit today?
#4161
We showed our last car show of the year at Bridge Day near the New River Gorge. It was an awesome trip up a winding road with tons of curves. Made me appreciate the nimble handling of the Fit and how much fun it was slamming and rolling those curves. The Fit did great and we had a blast. My friend Rod won Best Tuner with his 2005 Honda Accord JDM modified! I had to fix my tow hook when I got there because it was sideways - guess a good indication of how curvey that road really was! LOL!

You could try some super fine grit sandpaper and wet sand it, or maybe some super high liquid polish and honing goo. I used to use the latter on tile flooring. Start high, and if it is taking too much elbow grease work your way down to lower grits, and then back up again.

Yesterday and today me and my brother are working on installing my passenger seat rail and Recaro seat. The seat rail was not a direct bolt on would never have been able to get this in with out my brother and his ability to weld.
Test fitting the front foot that had to be remade because the original was so far off. That needs to get welded up today and fin ish welding the bracket for the seat belt.

I wish you had posted this yesterday.
I spent a few hours trying to help a fourteen year old neighbor install some EBay seats his grandmother bought to replace the stock seats in a little Geo AWD thingamajig... He was positively sure that they would be a cinch and no amount of explanation could convince him other wise... I have a welder but no 220 in to hook up to so finally the fat little bastard decided that since the guy whose family has for 3 generations has owned the only decent machine shop and welding business and hunts for free on property his grandfather owns in Missouri owes them a favor and would happily do up some mounts for free..... Yeah after I screwed up my back jacking with him...

I did the tension spring mod to my gas pedal today. The S rings I chose were just a few millimeters too small, so I had to take two pairs of pliers and open one up a bit to fit around the armature. It's noticeably stiffer, but I won't be able to give a good judgement until after driving all day for work tomorrow.
Also, the springs in the door section of Home Depot had either really long ones, really fat ones, or ones that were too short, so I used two 2.5" springs in tandem. Seems to be about perfect.

hold it in place.

I think by compound turbo he means compound BOOSTING which would be a customer turbo/supercharger mix that produces power all across the rev band without turbo lag and with out the fallout that tends to happen in the high end of the rev band with superchargers.

Changed both headlight bulbs. Left side went out so just slapped on some Silverstar Ultras (not 1st choice) from auto store closest to the house. Left side (driver) was harder to dig through than the right side.

Compound Turbo:
Big compressor feeds into small compressor. Small turbine and by pass feed into big turbine.
Sequential Turbo:
Small turbo and big turbo operate independently through a series of bypass valves and wastegates.
Twincharging:
Feeding a turbo chargers compressor into the supercharger inlet.

I'm not sure about what was meant originally, but with Texas Coyote already having a supercharger on the Fit, I assumed that it was going to feed a turbo for more and better distributed power.

So on saturday, with some help from j, got the ETC installed...and i understand now why its one of the best mods for the Fit!
So heres a couple pics of what we did...
Zip tied the connector to the OBD II port just to make sure it wont wriggle off...because that would suck
Mounted in the glove box out of sight. Didnt get pics of it but the main control box is mounted to the metal panel/wiring right behind the glove box. All the wires are run behind all the vents against the firewall and then up behind the glove box. Makes for a super clean install and really easy access. Its super simple to learn how many times to press the mode button to get where you want it so you dont really have to see the unit.
