+1 on etrailer.com. That's where I got my hitch and wiring harness from.
Some people are going to say not to tow anything, but like I mentioned I've been towing with my Fit for a little while now along with many others. My opinion is that this little car can handle up to towing a 1,000lb load without too much trouble. I've towed that much on a 4x8 utility trailer and it felt about the same as having a car load of people. Some of the guys here have towed much more than that. For reference the Fit/Jazz in Europe is rated to tow about 1,000lbs without trailer brakes and 2,000lbs with. The Jazz rear suspension over there is a little stiffer, but I wouldn't think that would matter much as long as you properly balance the trailer.

meh curbed one of my wheels today boohoo

on the other hand, replaced my cabin filter today and put a dryer sheet behind it to freshen up the car. also replaced the usb cables on my phone dock so my S5 will start charging again.

 

There ya go.

Perhaps a boring choice, but 1) I like the 1st Gen-3rd Gen mashup (with everything still OEM) and 2) the shiny blue dot makes me happy.

Looks great! I like the dot.

 

Ordered some goodies from Crutchfield, they should be here in a few days

 

I just got this



To go with this


Dodgy gas station tire gauges be damned!

 

Those are nice because of the bleeder valve. I just have an $11 Slime brand digital gauge from Walmart though. Thing is accurate to a T and bulletproof

 

I have a Slime as well and it was 7lbs off from what this guage read

If it works for you then by all means use it I don't mind spending the extra for this gauge since this will last me forever

 

those mechanical guages are very good in the cold too.


never have to worry about dead batteries while left in your trunk. i have a moroso
in my '12 as well.

 

Huh, strange. Been using them for a couple years now. When I first bought it I would check it against other gauges that friends had, and any other one I got my hands on. It always matched up perfectly. And when I ask tire shops to put a specific PSI in my tires I always double check and it's spot on.

 

Are you sure it isn't the Moroso that's off?

I think the more important aspect would be consistency... as most people will adjust the pressure based on the ride feel/handling, not a gauge readout.

I've bought two gauge/chucks for my compressor and honestly, never cared whether either was accurate... so long as I stick to one for all four wheels and when doing adjustment comparisons.

 

Vancouver FitFreak isn't on here as often as we were during the hey-day of the GD3s. but we represented (proudly) at Revscene Summer Meetup over the weekend! after the meetup 3 of us went to do a photoshoot. here's a sample of the goods!

the full album can be found on my fb page:

Beautiful!

 

i like it, good job guys.

 

Yeah, well done. Those are fun to look at. Is that the A&J Racing dude's Fit?

 

naw. the A&J Fit was the custom JDM converted Fit.. speaking of which.. how come i don't see A&J Racing on the vendors/marketplace section???

the white w/ the JDP hood/diffuser and black top roof belongs to FitFreak member Blackvitzrs.

 

The Moroso matches what my portable tire air compressor reads but from what I have been reading online about the Slime guages is that in the cold or if they are dropped it can throw off the accuracy of the gauge which is maybe what could have happened with mine.

Good review for different gauges:

Hey Fit Freaksters...It's been a while!!!

I've done some more modifications to my FIT (who recently turned 2 yrs)...enjoy!!

What do you guys/gals think? Love it/Hate it?

Got the Sport Grill...It was an easy install...




Got some rims and tires (finally)

I decided to go with OEM rims... I don't care much for the HFP rims made for my generation of FIT. I just think they look hideous. I dialed back a generation and loved the color and overall look of the previous gen HFP rims in bronze. The TPMS work great. Some Honda dealerships will try to discourage them, because these rims were pre-TPMS FIT era. I assure you though, they work flawlessly. The tires are nothing fancy either (16' Potenza Bridgestone tires). I think everything has a good flow to it. My approach to modding has always been: simple, clean and tasteful. I believe those principles were upheld (LOL).

Thank you for viewing!

(PS: Anyone know a good radio replacement with a touchscreen and video inputs [hdmi or rca] as well as, Bluetooth? I just wanted to know what some experiences users recommend around here. Thanks again!!)

 

May I ask what dealership that was Mr Ramsay? I've never seen those covers for the rear sides of the trunk before.

I like them :-)
