My tenders are on my stored cars. But will use it if needed. Next spring, 51R in! I got all the parts to do the swap. But since my battery was replaced last February, though it would last at least one other winter. Will know next April if I were right or not!!

 

I wish I can upgrade to 51R or Yellow Optima, unfortunately,
no space for me since at this moment my airbox already touch the current small oem battery...
other solution is to go with Lithium battery but their pricing is still not affordable...
and our trunk is way too small for a rear battery modification setup...

Luckily California is not that cold...

 

Just ordered some new tires. Website says they should be here tomorrow! I love Tire Rack!

 

Scheduled my ~50K service appointment today. Should happen right around when the MM says the oil life is at 15%.

 

It's that time of the year again.



Honda Fit Jazz Roof Rack code: 8L02-TF0-600


Washed my car firmly to avoid any marks before mounting the roof racks.



I have owned my Hybrid for a year now. Little mods here & there, but i have been piling up parts for a good while now. After the holidays I should be able to start the bigger mods. The RS bumpers & Mugen conversion... can't wait.

Happy Holidays to all FitFreaks – See you next year!

 

This is finally happening!!

 

Hi Connor,

wow the JDM hood is so much shorter !
Congratulations

 

Thanks!! Still 3 weeks until the install starts! That hood is almost half the size. I didnt believe how small it was when i first saw it.

 

Anyway to get some more shots of the hood? Thats is mind boggling.

I have always knew the JDM fit had a shorter nose, but now it makes it look the NA fits have some giant schnoz of a nose.

 

Its unreal how tiny the hood is. Ill try to get some pics in a minute but its kinda dark now.

 

Here you go. Im lining up the top of the usdm and jdm hood, so you can really see how much shorter it is.

 

We'll have to do a meet in the spring so we can see just how much different it is! I'm curious about the weight difference between the two front ends. The advantage is really in getting more of the car's weight inboard (between the front and rear wheels as opposed to extending past them), but there's so much less material.

 

take a look at the Braille B2015 battery, very small and better specs across the board as compared to 151r

 

Hi gd3fit,
I did check the Braille lines of battery before,
and this B2015 only have 35 minutes of reserve capacity at 21Ampere Hours
while the 151r have 55 minutes of reserve capacity at 36Ampere hours.

The B2015 1067Pulse Cranking Amp but it is more like (hot) cranking amps than the industry standard Cold Cranking Amp rating.
so while the 151r only have 340 Cold Cranking Amp rating, but it mean it can support that 340 CCA for 30 seconds at 0 degree while Pulse Cranking Amp is only for 3 to 5 seconds cranking only.

 

Definitely. I really wonder if ill be able to feel the difference in driving

 

Looking good Connor55! One thing is sure – you'll find a parking spot easier in the city
It's a nightmare to find a parking spot where I live. Some evenings I drive around the city blocks 10-20 min just to find a legal parking space for my car. Thats downtown Helsinki life. That's the reason I love my Jazz. Lots of space in a very compact car, and every cm/in counts.

One more thing, it's not just the hood/bonnet that's shorter, but the bumper as well. It's quite stubby. Front & Rear.
Keep up the good work!

 

51R is the way to go

 

Yessss I'm stoked to see the end result!

 

I cant wait to see how short it is it definitely fits with the rest of the car better than our huge front end.


Me too! Ill Keep you posted

 

My Noblesse by pass pipe just arrived
The quality is amazing, they really hand polished the inlet and outlet pipe smooth, very light too. Glad the T1R were not in stock that prompt me to look for alternative, blessing in disguise


They also give the bolt/nut and gasket but I won't install it yet...

I need to save money so I can buy HJS 200Cell High Flow Cat converter which I will weld on to this Noblesse by pass pipe. I don't want straight pipe

I will also weld a bung for the Defi EGT Gauge,... I already bough the AEM Stainless Steel bung plus the Subaru adapter for BSPT thread use by Defi

Oh, most important, I need to find a very good Stainless Steel Fabricator to do all the modification...
It would suck if I had all the good parts but the fabricator don't weld it nice... hmmm got to do more research now...
