Looks so clean!

I grew up in Union, NJ.

 

thanks! i just moved here like two years ago. still nice and quiet!

 

Same plans for Sunday my interior is terrible from the winter but the weather has been bad except for this weekend until Monday. The door panels and dash are dirty and it needs vacuuming.

 

i have to clean my interior too.

 

new headlights, rims, and wash. spring is here! second picture was taken with a cell phone. need to find the digital.

 

wired up a switch to turn on/off my DRL.



more in my blog.

 

I pulled the DRL fuse after they cost me 2 pairs of expensive bulbs. My $5 ebay super white bulbs have lasted longer so far.

Aftermarket bulbs try to draw more amperage when DRL's limit voltage, so bulbs tend to go BOOM

It is why honda stuck long life bulbs in factory. They knew even long life bulbs will not last as long as vehicles that dont use the low beam circuit for DRLs

 

oh yah, i also vac'ed the car and swapped to carpet floor mats now that we're finally done with salt and snow.

 

i did too, in the beginning... i wrote about it in my blog, but i dont want my hu to dim when i turn on my parking lights or headlights in light rain during the day. DRL is very functional for that.

and i didnt feel like spending $50 every 7-8months on aftermarket bulbs. i hate H4's anyway, yet dont feel like doing HID's... so this is a great cheap option for me. on a dry day, my DRL is off.

 

You mean the interior dash displays, like radio and the gauges? You can adjust the brightness of those when your headlights are on by turning the odometer reset knob clockwise or counterclockwise.

 

You can, but it will not help with an aftermarket headunit!

 

Either you didnt connect it right or your unit doesnt have a dimmer function ( I thought all did).

 

That's what I didn't know...he said hu but didn't know if he meant aftermarket or not.

 

You gotta wire the dimmer to the harness if you want that function. But most people(like me) dont bother. The headunit will have a brightness adjustment

 

Mine is adjusted seperately, I can make it any color or brightness I want with the headlights (or driving lights) on or off. The brightness knob has no effect on my headunit.

 

short clip from yesterday

 

What was done to reduce the body roll? I finally installed my Progress RSB has been sitting around since January pain in the ass passenger side but managed to get bolts in, torque to 40lb.
Wonder if there is any need to re-torque in the future?

 

now sway bars and body supports... just the hks coilover


wouldn't hurt to check on your bolts for re-torquing

 

Vacuumed/cleaned out the fit and swapped the summer tires/rims back on. Nice to be off the snows.

Bought the Fit a V8 6 speed companion.


Now I can slam, make louder, make meaner, etc., the Fit without looking like...well, a guy with a tricked out Honda when I'm doing business. Besides, I am/was a German car guy, and the Fit is my foray into reliable fun. Glad to have it as backup, that's for sure. I love it dearly, and there is just no replacement for the Fit. I love it even more now that it can be more of a garage queen.

TEO: that is positively awesome handling. I want that level of response during the new build/version 2.0 of my Fit.
