Sounds SICK Bru Does it have a 6" exhaust tip and neon to?

between each runner and the top of the flange that mounts to the head. For the plenum, a simple strap tacked over each edge of the plenum for maximum overkill insurance.

Well, I'd be less concerned with that bit one or two on opposing sides would more than take care of the TB mount.. I was thinking something like this:

Hahaha OK... I have the Innovative 75a track mounts on my Xmas list so to speak No one seems to have them in stock though

I had a Spoon torque damper on the car, worked like a CHARM, turned out it was not SCCA class compliant and it was actually TO effective and one of the mounting tabs it bolted to (originally for the plastic cowl) actually broke

Check out their active forums if you want a feel of what you are getting into for your $200 bucks:
Just ordered a tune from vit! | E-Tunez

And:
Should I be concerned about the knock cout? | E-Tunez

For a couple examples.
Vit from etunez tuned my supercharged 08 civic si that did 330hp and its been running like a champ ever since. So I trust etunez to tune my cars anyday and it cost cheaper.

I'm going to Hit them up real soon to tune my KW HIGH BOOST SC on my auto fit.

Duly noted haha

My rates, depending on whats involved can often be more reasonable than that.

I'm more active on 8thcivic.com but read some of the reviews people have posted about etunez. I bet a lot of people here don't even know how a etune works.

All i have done is lock and registered the flash pro to the car i accidentally up loaded the wrong calibration when trying to save my info and the car had no throttle response. Uploaded back to stock and its seems to run better than before.
there is the flashprotuning web site for down loading drivers any one with info for that about tunes?
awhile back a guy with sprintex said they can hook me up with a superchager for the fit model I'd prolly just wait to get it tuned after getting it installed.

Did you accidentally load one of the "big" injector cals?

The drivers are not the same thing as the tunes, drivers are just letting the ECU communicate through the Hondata cable and connect to the FlashPro Manager.

There's not much in the way of "tunes" that come loaded for the Fit. Basically just a stock map, and then different injector scaling.
