Installed DEPO smoked LED taillights and dai LED third brake light this afternoon

Have wanted these taillights since I bought this car new.

Plans are to also tint the windows soon, and these tie in nicely with the black headlights on the car.

The antenna does rub. I need to pick up a shorter antenna.

Nice! Need some genuine JDM badges and drop it on coils or springs. You got the 4x4 status right now.

Drove it to pick up a few detailing things for it as well as some Amsoil MTF. Need to do a change before race season.

Just did a valve adjustment and put new spark plugs in. All the intake valves were loose, and all but 2 of exhaust valves were too tight. Cleaned the throttle body while I had the upper intake off. Reset the ECM and did the idle learn, going to go fill it up with gas and hope I gain a little mileage, and maybe a little power.

Ordered the next modification for the Fit and found out it arrives on Wednesday. Sent the tow hook out for repowder coating and we are
going to attempt to wrap the piece around the battery in CF wrap. Unsure
if it will work or not!

Trimmed off some plastic from the OEM front plate bracket and applied lamin-x film to the back of it so the contacting area doesn't scratch the paint or grind into the bumper... then ditched my ghetto-rigged tow hook mounted license plate relocation bracket and reinstalled the OEM one.

Also put some red "pin stripe" tape on the TRM C1s. Looks alright... kinda wished we still had the touch of bottle of Redrock Pearl from our old Ridgeline to use but this will do for now.

Just installed my JDM center console. It feels so much more cozy in there now.

I pulled off the battery and it's tray to be replaced with a ATV battery and home fabricated aluminum tray and heavier battery wiring and grounding, front bumper, splash tray, and fender wells to afford myself better access to everything I need to work on. I will be installing the Weapon R intake manifold and sending the throttle body of to be bored out including a hole bored for water/methanol injection either in the throttle body or under the hood intercooler. I'm contemplating adding an front mount intercooler fans and grille since i'm replacing the front bumper with a one piece Mugen replica bumper with much more room for that stuff,including a simple secondary water/meth kit and water tank operated at top boost only for WOT boost over 4500 RPM... It's going to be rather busy looking under there... There will be a Beatrush panel going on the bottom and louvers on the upper sides of both front fenders... I need to replace the header gasket also... After all of this I hope to remove the engine mounts and solidify them with Dura Mix... There isn't going to be anymore to do for awhile until I get a decent Euro motorcyle and (or) a nice Euro car.... Uncle is giving me a raise in 3 weeks.
