replaced my air filter with a k&n reusable/washable drop in filter. during the process, discovered that while the dealership took a look at it recently, they must have accidentally removed one of the plastic clips that holds it on. gee, thanks folks!

 

Nice. I've used the k&n drop-in or cone filter on all my cars. Pays for itself in about a year (I'm in Arizona and we have a lot of dust).

 

Got my i-VTEC SOHC decals on the doors. I didn't measure exactly or anything, but they seem to be placed pretty much the same spot on either side (I just used the lines in the door as a marker). I love the way they look. Set off the white wheels nicely.

 

I actually got it for much cheaper than it normally sells. My cost was $29.14 and maybe about a dollar or so sales tax.. I'm a treasure hunter!

 

My JDM Fit RS Mugen LED Rear Fog Light arrived:

Painted black, inside the fascia. Did a great job for aero, but it makes things too warm.

 

Yup oem, looks a lot lighter in colour than my old fluid though.

 

Found deal I could not pass up on a set of these







Installed them and was actually impressed with the quality and thickness of the mat vs OEM

 

Hi Waiz,
I also have those in my car, and they do look nice when it is new,
but after a while, they got dirty very easily and on the driver side
the Mugen Lettering already have broken thread on mine and look...torn...
and they are only on my car for around 15,000 miles...

anyway, I am thinking of getting the JDM version to replace mine,
at least my JDM Mugen Trunk Mat seemed to be even thicker and
had a little different material then the USDM one...

but I agree with you,
they look so much better then the OEM honda one

 

After 2 years the OEM mat held up pretty well, given the thickness of these mats and how anal I am with my stuff I should be good

 

How many 12Fl.oz do I need for a brake flush?

Thanks

 

And a front view of the grille block. If you're not crouched down in front of the car looking for it, it's not even there.



It cleaned up the aero impressively. With the cruise on I'm seeing instant mpg numbers higher than before, and the car actually picks up speed in places that it never used to. But I'm running about 20 degrees warmer than without it, which isn't even a plus right now- much less in the next few months. Luckily there's a lot of room behind the grille so I've got space to try ducting air to the radiator.

I wish I'd had the time to play with this back in October; my winter numbers would have been a lot better!

 

Tinted my windows. No more fishbowl look. 35% is decent. Not too dark to attract the wrong kind of attention, but better for cooling for a black car.

 

Hey guys

Which is better from shipping from Japan?

EMS or DHL? There is a 20 dollar difference and the part isn't really that expensive.

Thanks!

 

ems works fine

 

Thanks

Isn't that what Rakuten (Desir de vivre) uses?

 

When I bought from Desir De Vivre,
I ask them to ship it to Tenso,
and then Tenso use EMS.

 

Tenso uses several different shipping types now. Most efficient is EMS, and TENSO will let u compare the price difference between all of them.

Speaking of Rakuten/Tenso, doing a test purchase from one of the Vendors, Autostyle/Toptuner. Seems like they are the same company, but I wanna see if they accept non-Japanese credit cards.

AMS Monitor Hood:



Can't find a comparable product here in the US. If it goes thru, I got my eyes on something bigger. =)

 

man i can't see it, im blind!

 

Gawd damn I want that!

On a side note, got to installing these:
