What did you do to the GD Fit today?

My oil Temps used to be high and the pressure was lower than I wanted when it was super hot outside. Switch to this oil and have had no problems. I'm sure it's just because of weight but works for me so I'm good to go. Costs me around 10-12 dollars a quart. I'm doing oil changes every other track event.

Man, oil talk.... at least it's race oil talk :P
With my experience with classic cars, zinc and phosphorus conent is super important! I've been using Amsoil Dominator since I git FlashPro and bumped the redline. Zero visible valve train wear at last valve adjustment and it's staid adjusted through nearly 20K of hard driving and AutoX abuse

It's not my shop sOx. I've known Gabe for years. This is the shop that does my tuning and work on the Fit when i'm lazy.

I fought a F150 and my Fit is ok!
A few weeks ago I posted my wreck with a F150. Insurance totaled the car but I kept it and fixed it.
Donor car - located at Brickyard salvage in INDY. Great business. Great prices and service. Shipped doors and fender fedex freight. Packed it up real nice.
Donor car doors, fender, mirror
My car without its doors
My 2007 Sport Fit with 2008 base Fit doors and fender and mirror.
Just waiting on some quarter window trim clips so I can put the window in and let it cure and some clips for the side skirt.
Notice I got some free pin striping out of the deal. Anyone know how to remove that? Also, these new doors have the raised red plastic molding in the center of the side. Can these be taken off? It appears they are mounted with double sided tape. Anyone have any experience with these things?

thats so cool! does it replace the radio functions or is it all thru the auxillary port? deeets plzzz

So to answer your question, yes it completely replaces the radio's functions. I'm gradfathered into my Verizon phone plan so I have the tethering on each time I enter the car. The tablet connects to my hotspot and I can stream radio/Spotify/Netflix/whatever from it.
In a nutshell what you'll need:
2012 1st Gen Nexus 7
Autodroid Rom from XDA
USB OTG Cable w/ Charging
USB Extension Cable (so you can plug in a thumb drive or hub)
Right Angle Male to Female Micro USB Cable
Metra Dash Kit (I saw another user use a Scosche)
2.1A Car Charger
Your imagination

If you have an aftermarket radio you can hook up the tablet to the radio's AUX and put the deck into the glove compartment or something, that way you can still control it. But since I was still using the stock HU, I didn't want to spend extra money on a new deck. What I did was I kept the stock HU internals and just removed the "faceplate." Surprisingly it's two pieces that attach. I have to keep the faceplate handy for when the car's battery gets disconnected so I can input the radio code and permanently set the input to AUX.

I don't have the option of Verizon tethering between my phone and nexus 7, but I do use Easytether, which can do bluetooth tethering, but I don't know if they ever updated it to support Kitkat. It worked great for jelly bean.

Also try some heavier rubbing compound on the pin stripe if it's paint. If its vinyl a heat gun will take care of it.

J Schmidt That's sweet that you managed to even get matching replacement panels. For the moldings use a thin plastic panel popper tool to cut through the tape then either peel the rest off or find a rubber eraser wheel. They can be found at any auto parts or auto body supply stores.
