Replaced my auto-tensioner... much better, I can actually hear the supercharger (again) even though the engine is only idling.
update on auto-tensioner: After some driving it, for some reason feels like the Fit has more pep in it. It definitely had more pep after getting it back from the rebuild.
So I'm thinking its one of two things, it's a placebo this time and I'm totally imagining it or it really does have that little bit of pep.
I'm thinking it's the tension on the belt courtesy of your new auto-tensioner. More grip, less slip. Probably.
It took a while to find alloy wheels with the specs that I like at a price I can afford. Turns out, they've been around for about 3 years or so, I just didn't know about it: WedsSport SA-15R, 6.5 inch width, +48 offset. Weighing 5.91kg, the width allows me to retain the stock 185/55-16 tires for maximum weight loss.
The alloy wheels no longer appear on manufacturer's website.
I wanted to use Leggdura or Rays aluminum lugnuts, but they're too short; extended studs were installed so I could use stock wheels with Wilwood 4 pots. Finally decided on long (48mm) steel lugnuts.
Had some bad luck lately. Thieves smashed my driver window and stole my backpack...had junk in it. Also did a civic cmc swap, but first time around the swivel screw was not tightened enough on the cmc so I eventually leaked brake fluid till I took it out and redid it again, seems to be ok now. Been in an my fault accident over a year ago and replaced airbag, rebar, both sensors, and had srs computer reprogrammed. Cost just under $2000 out of insurance. Shes currently sitting on 15x7 slipstreams and michelin x-ice 2 and has Progress rsb and said cmc.
Thanks! I was torn between original blue color and this one. (I wanted as close as I could get to BMW Laguna Seca Blue, or Mitsu "blue by you.") My only fear was, they'd mix wrong and I would be stuck with Easter Egg Lavender...
Luckily, the painter is a huge Honda and BMW nut, and he really took his time to get the color dialed-in perfectly to the sample I gave them.
If you saw it in person, and I told you how little it cost to paint whole car, you'd call me a liar! They hooked it up.
One of the fringe benefits of being a dealer is I use lots of paint shops, and they try to keep me happy on my personal cars.

Thanks TIGHT-FIT,
I am saving money now to get the BRAX MX4 "PRO" power amplifier that will be launch sometimes late summer... after that, then my Audio Project is complete
Well, got my first CEL. Also, VAS light is on...
Will check with my OBD2 scanner tonight and might drop the car at the dealership since I have an extended warranty. Hopefully, it will be warrantied.

Mine had both CEL & VSA lights when the OBDII code noted a misfire in #2 & #3 cylinders. Those spark plugs were loose. Tightened them up and all was well. Don't let them tell you that all of the coil packs need change.
Yup, got the P0300, P0302 and P0303 codes. Let the car to my trusted mechanics and told him to check the plugs torque. Would have done it myself, but cannot access my garage right now and I don't have the time... Shouldn't cost too much, and I have more confidence in my diagnostic and mechanic then in Honda.
If all plugs are tight, then I will go to Honda. Hope I caught it soon enough so I don't have any damage on the engine...
Didn't heard any weird clicking, and didn't smell gas or exhaust in the car.

Well, everything is OK with the spark plugs, all tight!
Tonight I'm gonna pick the car up at my mechanic and drop it at the Honda dealer. Coil packs are under warranty, so if they want to change them, I'll let them do it.
Will have to wait until tomorrow to know what is going on...
Still miss it
