I gave my Fit an overdue oil change... the MM was reading -1805. My oil cycle seems to only last 6k miles... so yeah, a bit overdue.

I was going to wait until I got other stuff ready... but I figured it might be easier to get a few things out of the way.

Now... should I change my transmission oil and/or brake fluid? Or just be lazy and put that off till later?

 

Total was somewhere around $140 to Hawaii. Got here fast too. Less than 5 days iirc. And for our Fit, it is the lense with the gasket around it. So it's essentially the stock mirror but with goodies.

Also includes plugs for the heated function. Only turn signal arrow. And it's just blue tinted.

I got mine on Amazon. Had to order them separately (not a set like ordering it from Auto Distributor Direct) but came out cheaper due to free shipping (Hawaii is rarely included in free s&h on any place not amazon).

 

Thanks jdmj0......I couldn't find them on Amazon, at least the ones that FIT my '13 Fit. I might have to order them from Auto Distributor Direct.

 

'13 Fit is the same as 09-current.



They're more expensive than when I bought them (~$167 vs $150 when I got them) but they still may end up being cheaper with free shipping compared to ADD.

 

Nice mirrors...





There's a few tricks I've seen on other forums... aside from prepping the area (cleaning w/alcohol & warming up the sticker adhesive) some drench their fingers in windex, or a little bit of a soapy solution... this allows your fingertips to not stick or leave prints, and you can position the sticker around before you squeegee the liquid out.

 

Damn I want those mirrors so bad! This is definitely on my 2014 list...

 

Today... I didn't do squat TO my Fit. But I picked up (from UPS) my Christmas gift to myself (and my Fit).

Let's just say, it's gonna take the better part of a day to install.

 

oil change and new engine air filter today.

And more recently some Xmas gifts for my fit...

Led trunk and plate lights


Camera sucks, but this lights up the whole rear trunk now.


I'm going to install this in just a few days, can't wait!

 

Nice Christmas gifts man

 

I clayed bard my car for the first time. Put in in the garage and I am going to wash again tomorrow and then wax it!

 

I took the turkey out of the trunk yesterday morning. Makes a great cooler.

 

Muchos like! I can't wait to see the Axis tails with the Mugen combo. I have the mugen w/"jdm" tails and still debating on whether or not to change it out or not.

Washing your car again is overkill, if not unnecessary. If you're worried about the dust that may have accumulated overnight, just sheet water off of it and QD wipe to dry. Then apply wax/sealant.

 

Got the window tinted for my 2013 Fit Sport.

 

What's the round black thing poking out from behind the rear bumper? Is that attached to the car or is it like a tire sitting on the curb?

 

I took the throttle body out and cleaned it last week. Is it worth doing a DIY on this? Are people interested in doing this? I did take pics of the process.

 

I think everything is worth a DIY. We have people on here asking auto 101 questions and the more we can help them the better.

 

I would definitely like to see a DIY for that. IMO, the more we have the better.

 

I'd be curious to see what the process is with a DBW based TB. Definitely worth a write up.

With our truck, I just used carb cleaner. It was filthy, but what do you expect when you have a crack in your air intake tube?

 

Well the drive-by-wire system just makes it easier to remove, because you just have to unplug an electrical connector instead of messing with a throttle cable. Then it's just some coolant tubes and unbolting the whole thing from the intake manifold.

 

Winter boots for my wife's new Fit: Michelin X-Ice3 on the factory 15" wheels. I'll get her new wheels & sensors for the factory tires in the spring. (Yes, that's a snow shovel in the back to dig out the door for the storage unit where I store the S2000 and all my summer wheels/tires for my daily drivers.)
