It was probably the last warm, sunny weekend we're going to have here in central NY so I spent most of the afternoon washing and waxing (technically "sealing" but who's keeping track ) my Fit. Now it's totally smoooooth.

Hopefully it's ready for winter now .

 

Yesterday, I installed the bluetooth hands free unit in my Fit. Took about 3 hours total (very straight forward except for the routing of the master cable which probably was an hour) - and it works great!

It was TOUGH getting up the courage to cut the hole in the headliner for the faceplate assembly (thanks Patrick!), but it was worth it. Should be one of the few 09 VSA/NAV/BLUETOOTH 5-speed Taffeta White Fit's around......

 

I just finished installing HOT SHOT, heated windshield washer on my 2009 HONDA FIT Sport AT/VSA/NAV. Now I am ready for the Winter. I hope I don't have to scrap my windshield anymore. It costed me $62 since I bought it in the Summer on eBay.

 

put my ls meshes on it

 

Which bluetooth unit did you use? The BlueConnect?

My dad wants me to install a BlueConnect unit in his TW Sport Nav MT.

 

just slapped on some Eibach sportlines and Mugen RNR's

 

Added a few more mods. The exhaust sounds really nice and low.

- T1R 50S exhaust (Purchased it from Evasive Motorsports - Your Source for Import Automotive Performance Parts) Amazing service. Thanks!

- JDP rear diffuser.

 

wow, that looks awesome (esp on TW). that's a really nice combo with the 50s and the diffuser!

 

This one - Honda Fit Accessories - Genuine 2009-2010 Honda Fit Accessories Shipped at Discount Prices.

I'm assuming it's a Honda product as there were Honda labels on everything and it went in exactly as advertised........

 

Hrm. I might convince my father to do that on his.

Does it integrate into the radio at all on yours?

 

nice thin DOF! looks like from a prime lens

 

No, but it is voice activated and programmed and is clear as a bell. My wife says it works much better than the one in her BMW.

I have been very impressed in the operation of the unit. My wife was even able to pair her phone with NO help from me (a minor miracle).

Hope that helps.

 

I thought it tied in to a certain extent (mutes/pauses the stereo when a call comes in etc...) if not, i'm not quite sure what the need is for the wiring harness.

I'm looking at one of the parrot clip on rechargeable units so that I can go from the FIT to the Ridgeline. (drive the fit daily and on longer trips, we take the ridge and they take me to states with phone laws)

I sealed up my JDM tail lights and installed them on my BBP!

Pics soon!

 

Since spring/summer is upon us and the mod bugs are coming back out I figured I would do a thread revival.

I ordered a s2k tip today.
Hopefully its here by middle of next week.

 

Over the weekend I installed the T1R shifter that has been sitting on my dining room table since November.

I had a shenanigan unbolting the shifter assembly....

I have a fairly nice screwdriver w/ socket set, but I could not get enough torque to remove the bolts with the straight screw driver, and the set uses male-drive sockets - no good on a ratchet (at least not without an adapter that I don't have).

I have a stubby ratchet with both 1/4" and 3/8" drive and a set of 1/4" drive metric sockets that I have used for other products on my cars....and it has no 12mm socket?! It has 11mm and 13mm but not 12mm!

I somehow have what should be the right tools but not quite the correct combination that I need to perform this simple task.

So I had to run out and buy an extension and a 12mm socket! Curses!

I was not super pleased with it at first b/c it's a lot stiffer than the stocker, to the point where I felt that the extra effort required pretty much offset the shorter throw.

But in line with other reviews I've read, it has loosened up as I've used it this week and now I'm very happy with it. Somehow it has made the 1-2 shift much less fudgy in particular.

Also washed the salt off from the nasty winter.

 

^ pics or it didn't happen

 

Thanks for sharing that story..... What you needed to remove the part that had to come off is an Impact Driver.

 

Holding a 2010 Accord Coupe exhaust Tip in my hand....debating to put it on or not(I hate working at Honda....way too many parts at my fingertips)

 

Put it on...let's see it!!! I was thinking about the Accord exhaust tip.
