Scroll Down to the end for the K-swap / 5lug / Shifter upgrades/ Fuel Upgrades/ Custom exhaust and other good stuff
**********************Thread Info.***** From now on when I update this thread with new stuff that is significant to the build like a finished install, I will post all pictures in the original 1st post (this one that you are reading right now). I have also removed all old post after this and moved them into this first post. I have updated my opinions on some things I since time has gone by now. You do not need to go digging unless you want to read the questions/comments below and posts that I consider non significant like random images of work getting done or possible parts choices etc. Its been a long time since I started this so some of the earlier information is not relevant anymore but the later is up to date. I also removed alot that I consider not worth talking about. The modifications will get bigger as the post goes on. So, Don't get turned off by the first few images. The good stuff is at the bottom. So over the past 2 months I have found myself getting alot of enjoyment picking up little things that normally with other builds I wouldn't even consider because I was saving for expensive mods. This will be a work in progress thread I guess and I will update as such. I went back and edited all the pics to have the links to the items purchased to help out anyone who wants to know. Thanks for looking. Attachment 34177 Attachment 34178 Attachment 34179 This is the standered sized shift knob and to get the red ring you must pay for the color pack. Attachment 34182 Attachment 34183 https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...t-jazz-ge.html Attachment 34184 Some Led Lights I got from a user on here a long time ago. They still work though after 10 ish years. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...87c3fa10fb.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...c21831006b.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...749fff1dc2.jpg Don't do this.. I wrapped the fog lights with a yellow film. Looks cool at first but drys and cracks after a while and is crazy to get off. I think I replaced one because of this. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...19574c3d13.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...73c30c4fee.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...8e06b2cafb.jpg Still one of my favorite mods. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...d1c605c980.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...2c90b8ebfa.jpg So glad I got that from lip when I did.

This works fine but does give off a audible vibration. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...9cc0a8ebb5.jpg k24a2 That's it for the old Now on to the New So, Its been a long time since I have posted on here.. Hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to give an update on my GE8 fit. I have finally retired the car after 11+ years and just over 270k miles. I love my fit. Also, I am the 2nd owner of this car. I purchased it with 20k on it. I BEAT THE HELL OUT OF THIS CAR. It is still on original engine, transmission and clutch. I also have never changed the rear drum brakes. It did an ac compressor, clutch master and alot of tires / oil changes. What a great car!!! With that said. NOW!!!!!! The Fun Begins. https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/imag...lies/popc1.gifhttps://www.fitfreak.net/forums/imag...es/vtec228.gif k24a2 with RBC and a Bosch drive by wire 82mm throttle body with our in house adapters.

Doesn't allow for a horn but I am ok with that. I got one of these for each of the wheels. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...abb4a2a3aa.png Spacro Leather https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...44c74b937a.png Sparco Suede https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...9e0b04abf2.png Grip Royal wood grain. - Dont buy these wheels.

That bracket spins with the steering wheel as you turn but like the buttons would attached to the wheel. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...090702faa9.png So, She has taken a beating and needs alot of love. Lucky for her I know all the right things to get her all cleaned up. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...36de3d148d.png We are starting with some new Black Housing Headlights. I also was looking to see if I could move the battery to the fender like some of the older Honda's but that's not going to be a thing. No room. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...5edc51d9d2.png These wheels have seen over 10 sets of tires. Not to mention you can no longer get FN01R-C's. Half my car is discontinued at this point. So its time to redo the wheels. Some fresh powder coat and new logos to match. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...418956156e.png Getting a New JDM H Part Number 75700-S5T-E01 if anyone is interested.

Bushings were shot on the fit LCA so it was a replacement upgrade. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...abab5b8f14.jpg 5 Lug Spindle Conversion, The fit knuckles and cr-z spindles have been powder coated. ARP extended studs.

Calipers were powder coated red. Update ** I purchase a cheap set of aluminum 3mm wheel spacers and machined the OD smaller to fit behind the rotor. Rotor sits where it needs to now. This works find because of my extended studs. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...917359af7a.jpg Wheel https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...10338a76be.jpg Wheel closer https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...4702f6f304.jpg Rear Bar Bushings and some fresh paint https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...15c786e888.jpg CR-Z Torsion Bar Installed https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...10c88dd1bd.jpg CR-Z Hubs, Calipers and Rotors.

I like the pedals!

What car are the coin holders from myblackhatch?
|
I agree! It is fun to purchase little modes that some people might not even notice. Your car is looking great - it is those little touches that makes us happy. I have Dom Kun riding shot gun in my little cubby on the left side of the steering wheel. LOL!
|
Thanks myblackhatch....and that car is really nice and clean
|
wow, two urinal coin holders! :D
|
I like your little things build... I'm in that vein myself.
I also have the Blox shortie... I hated the Honda flagpole antenna. Next I'm considering some Honda pieces to spruce up the interior some. |
How much was the blox antenna and where did u get it ? How's the reception on it ? I might consider it !
|
If anything I'm thinking about stepping up to a taller antenna... The stock little one doesn't seem to do so well.
