What setup are you running again (mod wise)? Do you race the car?

Oh dang, and I was thinking the 85a. Well 75a will do then.

I'm in the process of installing a t22/tb02 turbo and side mount intercooler. I have currently rdx injectors, 2.5" turbo back exhaust, ik22, hondata, and ported intake manifold.

My car has been sputtering recently and I have reason to believe that it's probably the ignition coil/spark plugs so I went ahead and ordered some online. Hopefully this will resolve my problem when I install them next week.

Update: Since it's going to take a week for all my stuff to come in, I went ahead and changed out my cabin air filter, and my rear wiper blade. Both were overdue on getting replaced. I also got my oil changed. Nice way to end the week.

Took it out to another autocross event today. Had a bit more fun that usual since I actually got the fit to TRIPOD for the first time EVER which actually baffled me for a bit.

You were comfortable riding on 3 wheels on Saturday when in the sidecar.. You didn't appear to like right turns when the car was in the air so much though..

Did my first oil change today, switched to Mobil 1 oil and filter. Also changed the serpentine belt but couldn't get the crank bolt off to install my UR pulley, nor the alternator pulley. :-/

Haven't done anything like this yet on the fit but on my Civic I use to look up the flywheel with a pry bar and break the crank bolt free with a 1/2 breaker bar with cheater pipe. Those fuckers are on there good. Like 200 ft/lbs.

I did this mod like 3 months ago as a test run. Do you have pic of the end product with the glorifier?

I'm just about at 80k miles and my car has been sputtering the past two weeks or so. Changed out my spark plugs (along with the ignition coils) today and it's running like a champ. I also shaved down my JDM modulo wing some and washed my car.

When you guys change your spark plugs, do you guys also change out your ignition coils? Or did I just spend extra money that I didn't need to?

Also for basic maintenance, once I hit 100k any suggestions? I know I need to do a valve adjustment, coolant flush, check timing belt and water pump, check brake pads and rotors, adjust emergency brake, etc... anything else I might be missing?

With 80,000 miles on your car I think I'd consider installing new coils preventative maintenance..
