yeahhhh, gonna need some tips on how to XD i've seen many of the forum members with DIYs make their own heatshield..but i dont have enough knowledge on how-to :/

 

it's not that hard, actually. the main thing is you want to isolate the cone from the engine as much as possible. i would use a piece of poster board to bend and cut out your template.

then find somewhere that can get you a sheet of ABS about 4-5mm thick and epoxy the pieces together and mount it to the area either using a bracket or better yet, using your intake tube as a bracket so the movement doesn't tear it off your mounts.

might even suggest looking at the K&N kit and seeing if you can make something like that or better.

 

thanks ill definitely look into that!

 

Just drove 6 miles to the gym, thankful at the mileage the fit gives me. My old 74 IH pickup used to give me only 6 mpg...in today's $5/gallon prices that would have been a $10 trip. In the fit, a little under $2.

went to the hardware store afterwork in my '12 GE. had a great time driving there.

the car is definitely fun to drive.

 

made last minute fit crew stickers for the "CREWS" show this weekend... can't wait to line up all the fits showing!

also took an iphone photo earlier that came out quite good... Goodbye Summer :/

 

Went to visit my friend in Lexington Kentucky over the weekend.

I got 38mpg on the way down, and 36 mpg on the way back. It's about a 4 and 1/2 hour drive each way. Only had to stop and fill up once to go round trip.

I also go my windows tinted while I was down there.

 

I bought an RM40 monster cable at lowyatplaza yesterday so today im enjoying the aux function thru my ip4! Hehehe sounds like a newbie post? Yeah whatever

 

backed it off the driveway again to pull out my G. glass was frosted on my GE... damn. had to place window scrapers in both my GE's...

 

sure a lot of cars to watch daily

 

yah, i have 3 IP cameras at the house on the exterior front, more in back. and one camera inside the garage all with night vision. they are monitored and recorded.

it's nice to check out how my cars are doing at home.

 

 

Jealous ^^^^^

Installed my winter mats for winter....already.

 

^ Are those OEM mats? They look like they would stay put more than my OEM mats.

 

WeatherTech iirc.

 

Weather Tech Digital Fit with the emblem replaced with a Honda CF one.

Took some velcro ( just one side as it sticks to the carpet very well) to hold it in place perfectly.

 

moved the GE back onto my driveway when i got home in my G. lol

 

Thanks Kenchan for the velcro tip on the mats.....scuffed them up nicely with some sand paper first. Good idea on the taping the carpet with masking tape to keep the salt off this winter.

 

LOL i know that it's not the genuine RS for honda. since i bought it very cheap, i might as well use it ($3 - I couldn't complaint LOL)

thanks tho for the compliments

 

It really was meant as a compliment! ^^^^That's why I pointed out the little emblem that was out of place on an otherwise really good looking Fit! No matter Cool Fit Man!
