Went and got the Fit today to race this weekend. While about to leave the shop we noticed a coolant leak. LAME!

We ran a scanner on the car and noticed the fan didn't kick on even when it hit temps as high as 215*. We're thinking the fan caused the overflow tank to bubble over from a possible bad switch. Temps on the hoses were running 160's to 180ish tops. Shop is working on the car to have it ready to run tomorrow.

Check out your FlashPro calibration!!! I know I've adjusted/tweaked the fans via the temp sensor

What sucks is that I didn't have my flash pro with me. Plus I have it running the OE tune right now.

I am actually running a standalone ECU and not duel ECUs. I have a haltech. Thanks for the tip on the O2 sensor I will take a look at that. Other wise I am going to have to follow the harness from the fuse box and with out a wire diagram I am afraid that is going to be very difficult

Running a Haltech! Nice some serious equipment. Sucks you're having short issues. That's the worse figuring those out.

Just added a DC Sports cat-back exhaust over the weekend and all I can say is WOW!! I had already installed the DC Sports short ram intake and DC Sports headers which were nice upgrades, but adding the exhaust made a huge difference. It's a bit louder then I expected with a real deep tone, but the gains on the low and high end are very noticeable.

Replaced my original rotors and pads @ 105k with Power Slot drilled/slotted rotors and Wagner Thermoquiet pads. Still adjusting to this weird feeling of new brakes.

I am working on replacing the rear wheel bearings and installing extended wheel studs. somehow i messed up my spindle nut and am searching for a replacement. all the part stores are only listing for the front and i'm wondering whats difference between the front and rear nuts. i know that Honda has different part listings for them 90305-692-010 for the front and 90305-S30-003 for the rear. Does anyone know what the difference between the two is and if i could just buy a front one and use it on the rear? The front and rear are both removed with a 32mm socket. maybe the base of the nut on the rear is larger.

I'm gonna go to the parts store and buy the front and see if it works, if not I guess i'll have to order one from Honda.

Looks really great.

Every time I see a J's lip or grille it reminds me that I once had it all.

Isn't it still on top of that bush in California that you ran over after sliding off the track?

That does look good. I can't see myself doing anything besides the OE sport lip. The way that one looks I'd kill everything as well.

Looks good, the yellow pops against the silver and RED covers are my favorite color covers.

All the small inexpensive things that can be done with the Fit are just as fun as the bigger more pricier modifications.
