JDM cluster finally installed today with new cover since mine was a little scratched up. I like it, seems to match the rest of the interior.

Just finished installing the catch can with braided lines and earl fittings.

 

dope, what wheel is that

 

looks good, 1sick.


for me, took the family out for supper in my GE tonight.

 

i agree where did u get the white carbon fiber inlay for the wheel?

 

Thanks guys! The steering wheel is from J and the carbon trim piece is actually silver, just a bad pic. Should have some more rare goodies in a few more weeks.

 

where are u getting these rare goodies?

 

Some stuff I find here on the forums, other things I source and ask questions about and have friends pick it up and ship from Japan.

 

Installed coverking charcoal leatherette for front seats, easy job, but it would have been easier if cc would have put a d or p on seat covers, and if honda wouldn't install seat with sharp edges under springs.

 

applied sealant to my GE today and went out for a quick drive to take some snaps. also ran some errands late afternoon.

will paint the hubs black and swap wheels tomorrow.

 

Swapped the front door midbass speakers, again. Though I am much liking the sound of these better than the other ones, for now out least. :P Tomorrow I plan on doing some much needed cleaning and vacuuming.

 

Birthday was last week, so I got a couple trinkets. Installed sickspeed horns and a couple fender washers. Also got a new shift knob, but I'm waiting on a nicer locknut before installation.

Side note, the instructions that come w the horns are WRONG!! Luckily fellow ff members are smarter than the guys that supplied the horns.

 

put the winter set on today. rota boosts 16x7 and continental dws 205/50/16.

 

UPDATES:

- new seats:




- new RS emblem with red lining on front grille


- new rims



I haven't got a chance to uploaded the Throttle Controller.

NEXT PROJECT: Tanabe NF or RSR Springs???????

 

Nice!!! Do all the functions of the cluster work? I know others who installed it had some issues.

Nice J's Carbon steering wheel...

 

woot, drove my GE to work. im liking the DWS so far.

 

Today recovering from 3 day camping trip with Fit: 800 miles total, at Kennedy Meadows high in California Sierra between Lake Isabella & Mt Whitney. From San Ramon to Bakersfield, 72mph steady, got computed 57mpg! Assuming gas fill clicked off a little early, as got over 34mpg overall with lots of twisty mountain roads, and passes at 3000, 7000, and over 9000 feet. (Came home via hwy120 through Yosemite, and Tioga Pass.)

I've made this arduous trip many times over the years to meet up on the trail with a friend who is a world class ultra distance hiker.

The Fit worked great...I bought the cheapest crib mattress that Wally World carries. Pushed the passenger seat forward and leaned it forward. Put a duffel in the gap between it and the folded down rear seat. Allowed me to fully stretch straight out without angling (I'm 5'11"). The mattress smoothed out the "bump" and also insulated me. Used an open sleeping bag as a comforter, was toasty warm with outside temps dipping into the 30s.

So camping at drive-in sites is very doable for me in the Fit! (I can no longer sleep on a tarp on the ground, or in a regular sleeping bag, due to stroke induced mobility problems.) It was great to go camping last weekend in Big Sur, this weekend in the Sierra, both for first time in over 2 years.

Now I have to tackle unloading, then washing to restote my Taffeta White paint to new no-bugs appearances.

Oh, and those steep mountain grades? Piece of cake, easiest I've ever driven them. My Fit is a base model with an automatic. Made most of the steep roads in D3, but dropped into 2 for some of the steepest miles-long downgrades in order to save brakes. (In the past I have lost drum brakes from overheating + fade on these same downgrades, such as "Old Priest Grade", a shortycut along hwy 120. Good things they weren't high traffic conditions then!)

 

sounds like fun, prh!

 

1) Realized I need some lumbar support.

2) Sang songs to my infant daughter in the hope that she would stop screaming.

3) Purchased an Accord horn from Bernardi in Framingham, MA. Their counter prices are higher than their internet prices and, despite knowing that I should have known this, I didn't know this.
