Did my fits second oil change.
4 qts of castrol syntec blend
purolator pureONE filter

 

Smoked my tail lights out 2 days ago. THEN went to take my car for VA inspection and i failed because they were "too dark" although you can see the lights just fine. god i hate va

 

Installed a UR front upper strut bar. Feels good.

 

Began installing a Nautilus Compact. anyone done this? Looked straight forward. Kept the stock harness end. Toot - toot - toot..

Need to locate the horn relay.

Upped fuse to 20A. Me thinks the relay popped but I really don't see it any where. FSM vague.

Mileage?

FIT holds her ground well. I understand body roll to include torsion. Body to Feet as well as Body. But you're suggesting stiffening the rear end. Stabilizing.

I feel a sensation of rotation around the centroid. Not breaking free, but I can 'feel' how it will go.

Just installed my K&N CAI! makes it sounds sooo much deeper and greater pick up. i love it

 

Well I started a new thread on this DIY and got some great help from Virtual and SteveInNC . https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...ruise-set.html thanks to all

Now I understand running new stuff off existing switches via relays. Well I think I understan what I need to do to get my horn installed.

Now I'm struggling with that damn front end mask - the Honda one. Hoodie's cool but the bumper is going to wait till another day.

Before

After

I tinted my side mirrors to 35 % I love it no more glare from headlights behind you and it is super easy to tint them took me ten mins a side

 

Installed my visors Now I need a car wash

 

she got her second service today and I took her to a bodyshop for an updated look.

 

i found that someone tried to steal my rear jdm emblem.
they failed and left me with a cracked badge

 

Swapped in some Narva Range Power +50 bulbs. A good deal brighter and the light is a tiny bit more white. Need to take them onto some back roads for a full test though.

 

Picked up some mulch today. Gotta love a small car that gets 39 mpg and can carry this....

 

Nice!^
Went camping this weekend. . People near us just stood in amazement as all the stuff kept coming out lol

 

Ha that's funny. The same thing happened to us when we went. We had our tent and camping gear, two dog cages and our luggage. The Fit just fits...everything.

 

Finally got around to putting the Mugen shifter in. Took out the harder rubber bushings and replaced them with some brass 2 piece ones I purchased many years ago for my 5R Teggy (that it didn't need as the factory shifter already had metal mounts unlike the RSX). So the H-Fit mounts are going to collect dust. Shifter throw is definitely shorter (just rowing through the gears parked, haven't driven it yet) and the overall lever length is approximately 20mm shorter give or take.

Also installed some Kenwood eXcelon XR-S17P front components. I chose them because they are super light and only have about a 1.5" mounting depth, not much heavier than the factory speakers and the sound is pretty good and a vast improvement over stock. I am also building a small slot loaded box for a SL78 that fits right into the rear well (no spare tire as mine came with a puncture kit). Will be adding back in about 30 lbs, but I started listening to some old bass CD's and it reminded me of good times growing up in Fort Lauderdale and I figured a little low end would be nice.

 

Took of the dealer emblem and the Fit emblem. Looks sooo much better.
Also washed it this morning, first thing.

Is it sad that my car got a shower before me?



Sorry its not any bigger(). Cant figure it out. Tried the how/to sticky but still cant figure it out.

 

Tow hitch all installed. Posted installation instructions and photos here:

Now I can move a couch, bring home a sheet of 4'x8' drywall or plywood, get bulk mulch, and other medium duty (but bulky/messy) jobs with the Fit.

 

Hacked the seat belt clasp so I can start the car with the seat belt disconnected without the warning chime going off. Explained here:
