I did just crack my visor =( its not too bad.. and it doesn't effect anything but now I kinda wanna buy a new set just to change that 1 visor!! GRRRR

besides that, i might be done! I've had my performance cars in the past, and I enjoy DIY, but I want to keep my Fit as reliable and as DD-able as possible. hehe I mostly decided to mod the fit the way i want it because my transmission broke and i changed the transmission and clutch myself so I plan on keeping it for the long run!, but here is what has been done recently, and also some pics
  • New Transmission and Exedy clutch
  • Progressive sway bar
  • Megan subframe connector mid
  • Ultra subframe upper and lower
  • Cusco sway bar
  • Bilstein PSS
  • Mugen shift knob
  • OEM knockoff visors

Hello Vash,

The Ultra subframe upper and lower,
Do you have pictures of it?
one of them is the 2 point bar that connect the front lower control arm bolt, right? I always want to know if they affect the ground clearance much or not... I know the Ultra Racing one (and T1R one) is the only 2 that will fit a Honda Fit GE with AT transmission....
so please kindly post the pictures here if possible.

also if possible, picture of Megan subframe connector mid?
Thanks so much

How does the exedy clutch perform compared to stock? I've thought about getting one

Tucked the rears a tad more.
I was finally able to throw in my shorter shocks that were made for the air suspension(was missing the bushings which took almost a month to special order).

At 60,000 miles I replaced my brake fluid. I also checked the pads/shoes. No need to replace either, I don't ride my brakes so they last a long time.

I am curious as well. When my clutch needs replacement I typically use exedy. Will probably do the Clutch delay valve delete as well when the time comes.

Also am I reading the 1st bullet right? "New Transmission"??

Some proper parts right there! How does the handling feel now? Are the Bilsteins harsh at all?

Need to raise my front up .25"-.5"




Is anyone interested in a wheel trade, just looking for something different.

When I bought the JDP Carbon Fiber Radiator Plate Cover,
it do not come with the JDP metal emblem since JDP no longer have those emblem,
so I decide to buy a Mugen Emblem on eBay and attached it today:
(I also order another different Mugen Emblem for the Mugen CR-Z Carbon Fiber Airbox, but it had not arrived yet):

Here is the other Mugen emblem for the CR-Z Mugen AirBox:





Suddenly I developed another addiction, this time sticker...
so dig my stash of sticker and find this Transparent K&N...
and I put it on the left side of the JDP Carbon Fiber Radiator Plate Cover:





and I decided, NUFF of this Emblem and Sticker FETISH Addiction

and I decide to quit and become sober again, but not before taking bird's eye view of all of them :

Now, you make me count
4pc Audi Supercharged emblem (1 on the glove box, 2 on each side, 1 at the hatch door),
2pc RS emblem, front and rear,
(let's not count the red grill/trunk Honda emblem shall we, please give me some leniency ),
2pc Mugen emblem,
1pc Honda Accord trunk emblem but I use on on top of the Sprintex, to make it look like it is Honda engine parts,
1pc i-VTEC emblem again I think from some JDM Accord on top of Sprintex...
1pc Mitsubishi Evo Final Edition emblem on the hood

if you add decal, then 2 Ohlins decal on side skirt
2pc K&N decal (one is the STOP this car use K&N decal thing),
1pc Mugen decal on top of the airbox

If you count the BBS center cap on each wheel,
plus each wheel have 4 BBS lug nut that each have BBS emblem on it...
and the Brembo decal on the brake calipers


luckily most of those emblem and decal is inside engine bay so no one really know my fetish on emblem/decal
right? right? or wrong...?


hmmmm.... yeah that is enough emblem and decal for me hahaha...

well, on second thought....
I was planning to buy some Michelin tire decal once I bought new tires, like this one below:
