I wouldn't deal with Planet Honda otherwise. While just waiting for the battery I couldn't help myself overhearing the over priced services and parts they were trying to get over on people. But they need to do that to pay for all the operational overhead. I just feel sorry for the poor souls aka regular customers.
I've heard that place was shady. I usually go to Kay Honda (I get employee discount there) but I just wanted to confirm in case I have an issue while I'm at my mother-in-law's in Elizabeth.

Come Spring will take you up on the offer if I run into problems, thank you.

Just need to decide on what battery to get now. What has me worried is the cold cranking amp, I think this will be a spring, summer and early fall intake only. Will have the OEM battery on a charger in the garage during that time, it's new from Honda only bought in July when I got the car.

Will be doing some research on batteries.

That's awesome! I'm thinking about switching to cold air from my current ram air in the spring, plus a whole list of things I've gotten but don't feel like freezing my fingers off to install lol

Better luck with the NRG than the T1R ones?

You CA guys are lucky you have warm enough weather to work on your cars, lol. I don't even want to change a fog light bulb that's been out for weeks because of the cold, been just keeping them turned off ha.

ya these ones actually work lol good times for sure for me. that being said i think they also look much nicer because of the carbon fiber on the body of the strut. and ya its nice having warm weather year round trust me lol.

3.5 weeks later, and I'm still waiting to convert those 68lbs I added to my car into something I can use instead of paperweights.

Took my car to the tuner to get an emissions tune but for some reason there was a pop up that kept coming up about the firmware. Kept trying to update and still wouldn't loaf a tune. Also tried to un merry but wouldn't let it do that either so I had to send it in to hondata.

My brother was planning on driving the fit at his first track event next weekend but looks like that's not gonna happen .

I've had odd situations similar to that with my FP. Strangely started working again after I did a combination of disconnecting the USB from the PC and FP along with re-securing my wifi on the laptop.

Did you go to Crappy Tire? That is where I got mine. You may have to ask someone for help locating it. Don't be shy.

My Fit was diagnosed by Dr Previc93 as having at least one warped rotor, so off to the dealership it goes on Monday for new front rotors and pads. While I'm there I'll probably have to check out the 2015 Accord Sport that I want to buy after I sell my 2012 Civic Si.
