i just got mine , it replaced something i had rigged up , i had a brace going from the center point to the driver side , just one diagonal . i also have a two point lower bar going across
the bottom . the kouki bar along with the lower ultra racing two pointer makes a triangulated structure . it's quite noticeable . car is much more settled on the highway , rock solid , really .
i think the single diagonal set up was not an optimum way of doing it . i got the bar ebay , highly recommended .
Purchased a 2018 Sport over the weekend for my city and weekend commuter car. Reminds me of a shrunken Honda Odyssey when driving and I dig it. Lots of reading to do in this thread for simple mods. First thing to do is buy floormats.

is it possible to use this bar with the progress bar?
I did the tall guy seat angle adjustment as well with a box of washers and some grade 10.9 bolts and its honestly been the best mod so far. It makes it so much more comfortable to daily on my commute. .
Do you have a link to a thread of video where this is done??
Last weekend I drove up through the desert to the Sierra Nevadas for a family vacation. Long story short, driving ~70 up and down moderate inclines, (plus AC on, ~95° outside) had the Fit staying at about 3k RPM. CVT started whining halfway home.
The old fluid was definitely burnt up. It was dark brown, instead of a clear, champagne color. (last change was not too long ago, @ 57k miles... @ 81k now)
Second time around, filling from the top is more straight forward. Remove the airbox, you'll see a plug with a little right angle pull handle. You can check the fluid there. A long funnel fits nicely. Don't forget to open up the overflow drain on the side!
I've been driving it around town for the last two days, and the whine hasn't completely gone away, but is definitely quieter. Transmission feels fine for now.

Aside from ordering this from the UK/Japan etc. does anyone know where I can purchase one in N. America?
I spent about 3 months searching I believe almost every us site looking for it without any luck.... I ended finding a seller on eBay but as you stated... It is from Japan...
Is a bummer but since the USDM version didn't had it ... They don't keep it neither on stock or on their servers..... 🤷🏽♂️

The answer to that ought to depend on how your roll cage is designed, if it triangulates well at the back then it will be way stiffer than this bar could possibly be, just because of how strong the roll cage material would be.
I'd like to see Progress or someone make a similar piece, should be pretty simple. Whether they would sell enough to be worth the effort is another matter, sadly.
Unrelated, hoping to see some dyno numbers when you get them- your engine work is too awesome to not see the result.
Me too! Finally getting my car out of storage here in San Antonio. I'm just going to throw a set of stock injectors at it. Hopefully that will cure the misfires. Otherwise I may be looking into a MoTec 142 stand alone computer but I'd still need to find someone to tune that. There's one dealer in Austin but I haven't been able to get hold of them yet...
Think I'm finished with the stereo, when I found out you can buy subs smaller than 8" I built a box out of fiberglass for a Kicker 6.75"
Not the loudest or deepest sound in the world, but it fills out the missing low end nicely. 200w Alpine amp under the driver's seat, more power than I need but it was sitting around collecting dust.
Not the prettiest thing in the world, but I don't have to look at it too often and it doesn't eat up useful trunk space.

nice love the location I did were the spare tire goes
This me I don’t see see it at all a I still have a full trunk
That's going to sound a lot better than my setup, but I've still got the spare tire and tools in there, with a rifle and body armor on top. Are you still running the factory floor/lid? Anything to keep it from bowing down into the speaker grills if you load up the trunk?
Put HFP side skirts from 2018-2020 Fit on my 15. Took awhile to get them from College Hills Honda. As they were not in stock. But installed in less than an hour. Fitment is spot on.
Installed in less than an hour? Wow! I began to install them yesterday but for me it turned out that installation is pain. I don't know if mounting method is different in USA (I am from Germany) but I had to remove the undercoat for the clamps of the skirts and needed to paint the area to prevent rust. Did you also have to use these clamps? When I made a test fit it did not seem to hold properly. Do you have a picture of those clamps when mounted? Maybe I did something wrong.
Clips having to be cut out so it fits on MxDM version also OEM harness has to be either cut and fit the one with the lamp or just make a slit on cables and sauder it ... ( i went this route so i could keep the OEM plug also... they are different... So this HAS TO BE DONE... Another view Also the top part of the plastic where the plug connects to the lamp... Has to be trimmed a little bit.... Test fitting after trimming clips Final fitment
