Circa40s Daily GE

I just received and installed a few JDM parts and thought I would share and show my 09 Fit progress so far.

I would like to mention that I am an avid DIYer and proud to say that with the help from this forum I installed/built everything - except for the tire mount and balance

Rundown of the mods/parts installed:

Exterior:
Honda Aquaclean mirrors
Honda rear bumper applique

Lights:
6k Bi-Xenon
Depot LED tail lights

Engine bay:
Stinger battery SPV35 (Odyssey)
Ebay bought, no name water temp sensor adaptor
Phoenix Gold fuse holders and battery clamps
Spoon Magnetic engine drain plug

Wheels/Tires:
Mugen MF-8 16x7 +43
Falken ZE-912 205/50/16

Suspension:
Tein S-Tech springs
Progress swaybar
Ingalls camber bolts

Interior:
JDM coin holder (thanks thefit09) and red hazard switch
OEM armrest, door stills and floor mats
Mugen pedals and shift knob
Autometer volt and water temp meters
Gauge pod
H-Fit shift kit
Tint - cant remember details
Parrot CK3000 Bluetooth kit with DIY speaker mount
DA trunk light
Silver air vent vinyl
Rear seat and trunk 12V outlets (all outlets controlled with a Bosch relay with larger gauge wire)
Trunk mounted 12v to 110v converter

Audio:
Pioneer DEX-P99RS
DIY Ipod cradle
Scan-Speak Illuminator 1” Tweeters
SEAS Excel W18NX Midwoofers
(2) Tang Band WT-1427G subs
DLS A7 5 channel amplifier
Knukonceptz Wiring
Batcap 300
Sound Dampening from Dynamat, Cascade Audio and Sound Deadener Showdown

To do/buy list:
Hopefully a few other JDM goodies
Greddy oil catch can (from my old car)
Mugen visors
Cusco front tower bar
Brake upgrade of some sort Im currently looking into the ITR caliper/larger rotor upgrade
Aftermarket struts when they become available in the states
Alignment


Detailed info on the stereo system:
https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...o-install.html












Mostly stock engine.


Stinger battery + PG OS battery terminals


All of the factory fuses were relocated to the large fuse holder bolted to the fender well. The single fuse holder goes to the alternator.


Upper radiator hose water temp sensor adaptor


Interior








Vinyl wrapped vents


BT speaker mounted behind the gauge pillar




110v/12v outlets


DA Integra trunk light. It fits perfectly! I lost a little light output but gained a switch.


Overall I lost about 3" of depth on the trunk floor. This is the actual sub enclosure/amp rack


I still have full access to the spare tire


Pic of with the cover removed



I'll add pics as parts arrive

Very well done man, looks like you did just about everything right on this car. No sloppiness, just a clean job.

I absolutely love how it looks mostly stock on the outside aside from drop and wheels, then you see the mods and look inside and its pretty much a masterpiece...

The cover or the entire floor? The floor is raised about 3" total and the cover is 3/4"

I havent had many chances to go to any of the meets. I'll keep an eye open though.

The cover has a cutout with heavy steel mesh. I'll take a pic of the underside of the cover the next time I take it off.

Question 'bout the Aqua Clear mirrors, do you have a problem with the left or right handed viewing since it was made for RHD ?

Both sides seem to be exactly the same. If there are any differences, I cant tell between the two. They both have a slight convex shape to them...kinda have to get used to.
