What in the hell is that thing?.. Looks like something you'd see in a Kswap or something.

JDM Honda Fit power folding side mirrors with LED indicators - YouTube Here's a clip of my JDM side mirrors.

Should have recorded it with my cell phone side ways instead of straight up...

I went hill jumping in the Fit today. I got up to about 85 and hit this pretty big hill, i felt like dominic torreto, messed up my front lip but getting the chance to fly was worth it.

Just installed some TWM performance hard bushings since there have been several people talking about them. I can def say that they are worth the investment. Shifting from 1st through 4th is just awesome; very clean and precise. 5th just seems a little harder (as if it requires a little more force) but it is still an improvement over the stock bushings. Overall, I'm pretty happy with this and I'm sure this will make my daily commute much more pleasant.

lol. I feel like I just waste my quarters when I feed it into the vac machine, ugh. I'm going to try drinking a beer next time and pray that I dont get caught drinking in public.

haha, yea my dog is my best friend. She enjoys car rides so I can't be to upset with her. oh well, the hair adds swag to the Fit.

Put something over your interior next time before the dogs climb in...

Or keep them out of the car...

I'll give that a try, thanks for the tip. I always fold down the back seats but her hair just goes everywhere. ill have to take a picture and show you guys.

good idea

I will try this too, thanks!

Hello. At 86K miles I just replaced brake fluid and clutch hydraulic system fluid, both with DOT 4 from NAPA. The second replacement of brake fluid. I used ATE Blue last time so I could see for sure when the fluid was all the way replaced. The front and rear brakes are still within limits. I tweaked the adjustment of the rears, which restored parking brake adjustment.

I made myself a camera mount for trackday purposes. It clamps onto my headrest and allows me to securely mount my mobile phone to it.
I plan on using my Bluetooth OBD2 Scanner and an Android App named "Torque" to record video and overlay my engine data.

Here are a couple of pictures of my phone/camera mount:

I made from pieces of scrap i had laying round at work (2x 10mm I/D clamping collars, a length of 12mm square aluminium bar, a st/st angle bracket) and my HTC hard case.

Here is a short (medium, standard definition) test video i made yesterday evening:
