Either you've got tiny hands or the service hole () got bigger.

This proves it! You do have tiny hands!! (yes I know it's his kid holding it....)

I used the service hole, I do have small hands tho

It is all in the tools, if you have a long enough rachet or you put a long socket+extension on the bottom of a short rachet you can break the nut loose without banging up your knuckles on the plastic.

We got some LS600H LED projector modules in. I'm thinking about using those in my retro.

Made some custom modifications to my replacement Depo fog lights before installing. First I put on the clear Headlight Armor vinyl for the first layer of protection. Then I added some polyethylene mesh from McMaster-Carr for added protection. Was kind of a pita doing the mesh on the first light, but easier w/ the second. I took the bulb housing out of both the outer and inner plastic housings to do it, which was pretty much necessary. Time will tell, but I don't foresee these cracking from rocks and road debris very easily.

you can see two child-related products in this picture...I have exactly 0.0000 children.



And if anyone's wondering, I bought the replacement fogs here - 2009-2010 Honda Fit Fog Light - Pair (Both Driver and Passenger Sides) - AutoLightsBulbs.com, and the mesh here - McMaster-Carr (9314T34). Bought a roll of it because I plan on doing the diy mesh a/c condensor grill in the near future.

How's that exhaust? I'm considering either it or the J's 50R.

I took pictures of my seat covers and cargo liner for someone who was looking to cover their seats to protect against dog hair.

Replaced 6qts of ATF DW-1 using the DIY methods described here: https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...diy-flush.html

Difference I notice is that the shifting is smoother, but I miss sharp shifting feel (which may damage the transmission in the long run)

BTW, if you ask nicely at the dealer, you can get $6/quart if you buy a case (12 qts)
