What did you do to your GE fit today?
Just finished filling the transmission top mount. 2/3 mounts completed.
May do the engine mount, may not. Depends on vibration level. Filling the dogbone didnt do much for idling vibration, just abrupt takeoff vibration, but smooths out over 1200 or so rpm.
The goal of zero wheel hop seems within reach!!
Total cost to filling mounts is approx $25 including $5 mini hotglue gun.

I actually found one! Deka 5151rm that should fit. Best part: $81.97
Filling the transmission mount removed nearly all vibration that was added from filling only the dogbone!!
Shifting feel improved a little bit more, no more harsh vibration upon takeoff (it disappeared right away anyways).
Motor now rotates around the engine mount on passenger side. I think I will keep that one stock for now.
Mounts are filled with hot glue. Even when the glue is 3'' thick it is slightly squishy if I press hard. Perfect hardness/softness for engine mounts!!

Gave the Fit a bath and took off the rear emblem. I like how clean it looks without it. Replaced the map and cargo lights with white leds and the dome light with a blue led

I agree, looks great! I just removed my emblem too.

Replace my left front broken wheel stud. BTW it's is not possible to replace the front studs without removing the hubs. Also notice that my ebc green stuff pads didn't even last over a year. < did alot of auto-x events > Going to try Hawks HPS next.
Reinstalled my stock shift boot with the shift extension and threw on my OMP pedals for "Rally Car". I shifted the gas pedal left a little from center ending up super close to brake. Inspired by Julia Robert's Lotus driving commentary in Pretty Woman while watching the movie with my wife
