I plan on attaching mine between the PCV valve (valve cover) and the intake manifold. That is where the blow-by is recirculated back into the combustion cycle.

PS How is the new bar?
There is a little bit a of blow by that goes into the intake. This aids in preventing that possiblity. Its not perfect, when I had to clean my filter there was still a little bit of residue on the inside of the pipe. As for the bar, I would say in combination with the cusco rear sway bar. It does show a difference when taking turns at higher speeds with more control. I live in the country so back country roads can be a real thrill. However, if you live in the city and never plan to track ur car I wouldnt waist your money. But like I said, I do get use out of it plus it makes for some fun driving. I really dont think it does very much, it does do more than nothing at all. In regards to the first question, the can came with a mounting bracket. I just drilled holes into the side of the plastic battery holder. It is real sturdy and wont move anywhere.

It was a beautiful, beautiful day here. I washed and waxed my Fit. The wash was very much needed; the wax was perhaps somewhat superfluous, but it seems to me that having a decent base for winter isn't a terrible idea.

congrats on the new CRV. My parents have a '12 EX AWD and they really like it. I haven't had a chance to drive it yet but I'm sure I'll like it as well.

Me... work and back... nothing exciting.

Got the new wiper refills in. So much better. Still not sure if I want to sell it and buy a new FR-S in the spring or if I want to keep it and buy a project car beater. Both are tempting.

Put some PPG Repel treatment on the windshield. I like this stuff. Also put gas in the Fit for $3.08 a gallon, I likes that too. Also waxed up the steelie winter rims and installed the old school chrome honda center caps on them for some retro bling.

So jealous. I filled up today for $3.93/gal because I got a wash too. $3.99/gal is about the cheapest I could find - and $10 higher for credit

Really? $3.93/gallon? Where I live we get that oil out of the ground for you, and we pay the equivalent of $5.53/gallon. At home, they're paying $6.16/gallon.

Yesterday I installed my rear H&R springs and today I've drove so far 60 miles (working at a friend shop and had to run out to my shop a few times) and still going. Tomorrow I doing the front springs, oil change and a detail job. Pics will be uploaded later.

Taxes and refinery costs are a hell of a thing.

I like the chrome versions of these better, but I gotta say, the shape/design of that is nice!

As it turns out, I messed up the calculation. I never learned imperial measurements, and didn't know there was a US gallon and an Imperial gallon. Neither seems to be a sensible number, but its actually 4.60/gallon and home would be 5.13/gallon (we pay 121.9 cents/Litre and back home they're up to 135.9 cents/Litre).
