You will notice in the second picture we have our CEL Eliminator on there so there is no check engine light.

Will this work for A/T Fits? And how much for this??? Maybe you should set up a GB, eh?

I took my fit into the dealer body shop for repair. needed a dent on the rear quarter of the car fixed and repainted. I'm out $800+70 bucks tax on that from my own pocket. grrr!!! Dealer whouldnt budge on price. Seems to me he just swapped out the part with another one I figured it should have been a whole lot less than that.
Any pics of before and after? Sounds like you got screwed. I hope they threw in the K-Y for free.

Yes this will work on the automatic transmission as that is what I have as well. I can not post prices of setup group buys anymore because we are no longer a site sponsor. You can pm me questions and I will be glad to help you out.

Could you provide a link to the product page. Also, surely you've dynoed this product after all the R&D time/money. However, I remember that you guys have been notiriously tight fisted about coughing up dyno sheets...

Do you have a dyno sheet you could post showing before and after #'s on the SAME GE9??? This is the only way you're ever gonna be able to sell these...

I am not going to post a link to our site showing this item and I can provide dyno sheets later through PM's because like I said we are no longer a vendor here and posting that link and trying to sell them here is pushing the limits for this forum. I am just here to show you all what I am doing to my new fit.

Ok well today I test fitted some rims but check my rim question thread for that one, Also made some lower tie bars today for the car. The 4 point bar requires you to remove that cheap flimsy bar that honda put in so this can clear. The front 2 point goes onto the from A-arm bolts Ill take better pics tomorow.

Just received the Samco Sport hoses I ordered awhile ago. Ordered both the coolant and breather sets. The coolant probably won't go on for a bit because going to be picking up some other goodies, eye candy plus some functionality hopefully next month.

The tiny coolant hoses look like toys or something. Just never really noticed their diameter under the bonnet, but I would presume they are close in size if not exact diameter.

Got these in today. Hopefully install it later today assuming I can figure out the wiring. It's got red, black, and grey wires? I'll just ignore the grey.

Its got three wires because its MULTI colored. It can blink blue OR amber
I have got a set but haven't gotten around to installing them because I can't figure out how to pry off the OEM covers.

When you install these, can you take a few pictures of what you use and how u pry off the OEM cover

Thanks!

The Grey wire is for a blue LED. I did not hook my blue up as illegal here I believe. Wish they had been yellow as well. I would have used as side markers.

A fun mod. Not the easiest one but is doable. The black shit on door panel plastic is messy. Snaking wire between door and pillar causes anxious moments when you get the snake wire caught inside. I find clipping the connectors in fuse box scarey. Oh and the top one in the fuse box is right and the bottom one is left . Ask how I found out. Id did get the right wires but got them ass backwards.

Putting the new covers on it a bitch. About 8 clips. the first seven are easy. New words will come to you as you try the last one. Took three trys on the first one. The second one still has one not fully clipped in but it does not show and hasn't fallen off.

Here is a U-Tube of mine

YouTube - 001.MOV

A few pics here scroll down.

https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...y-again-2.html

I did run the grey wires in under the dash and just tag it for what it is.

Have fun

blackvitzrs you have to take the mirror out first to get at the cover clips.
