Be careful Juan... I started out with a new Fit almost 6 years ago and the spending never ends... It is an addiction that only Harley Davidson owners and gun nuts understand.. It's worse than morphine... I'm an old man and know all about this kind of thing.

PM me your E-mail.

I'll send over info on how to diagnose the sensor switch when it is or is not throwing a DTC. Mind you, I won't be able to reply until this evening since I have to leave for work in a few.

I phoned Spoon Sports Europe yesterday to chase up my Low Temp Thermostat. Unfortunately i'm going to have to wait another week or two before it arrives as they are awaiting delivery from Japan.

I put on smoked led tails and a jazz badge painted black to go with me blacked out theme on the back end. haven't decided if i wanna black out the front H or just leave it since it matches the headlights. If I can get some blacked out retrofits then I will def do black H

dont worry the fit residue will be coming off in a couple days when I wash it

Just use goo-gone and some elbow grease. It'll be off in 5-10min.

Well done with the award!

You'd think I would be mad at Seibon for the defective CF Lip but I know that was a isolated problem. I love my Seibon hood and just decided that I would show Seibon some love since they refunded me in full for the lip.

This past weekend had been crazy. Took a vacation day on Friday to detail the car for back to back shows. Saturday at the Speed of Light show we won Top Tuner and then on Sunday at the FCP show in Morgantown we won this:



Yes that is a 3 footer - we were pulled for Best Honda! I was pretty excited even though there were only two Honda's in the show. I never saw so many WRX's in the same show but this show had the Best VW, Best Subie and Best Mitsubishi - the Best Tuner was a decked out BMW.



The two Honda's Representin! Rods 2005 Honda Accord won Top Sport Compact at the Saturday show. We have a blast rolling down the road with our cars.

I used the dental floss method, soaked the area in goo gone and used a plastic ice scraper to get the residue off. no scratches at all!

I removed the Jazz emblem on the boot lid, did the so called "JDM Wiper Mod" (more of a stiffy than a semi now, lol) and gave the car a good wash.

The bumper looks nice mate.
Your wheels fill the arches with that drop too... What drop were the springs before you cut them?
