I would also suggest the cargo net, comes in really handy since the rubber cargo mat can be slippery

Now they want to ditch all the Bisi components, they said upon install they didn't trust them and look like cheap Chinese products. I can't comment on that, I just know I have wasted close to $5k in products and having to have the engine tore down and go back to factory Honda parts. Not only that, but will be another MONTH at a minimum. Sorry to rant, but FUCK ME HARDER PLEASE!!!
Hi man, sorry to hear this.

What are the Bisi parts are you running? When my engine was getting rebuilt with bisi parts, my builder/tuner did had to modify some parts like the valvesprings that apparently are much much stiffer than OEM.

The tuning too took some time. I got knock issues too in the beginning but after the 2nd dyno tune everything is running smooth. But this could be do because the fuel is SHIT in Indonesia.

As power gains, according to my tuner, the bisi level 3 camshaft regrind is the "best" as in the one that nets the most power (he installed the Jun camshaft on another car before).

Hope you'll find a solution.

On my daughter's Fit, we just installed the following: hood protector; body side moldings; clear door edge guards; rear spoiler; rear bumper protector; seat covers front and rear; center console; 3D floor liners; door sill protectors. Still to be installed: mud flaps; Fumoto oil drain valve

Looking good, classy emblem

I revisited my bodyshop yesterday and had them adjust my Mugen rear since it was a tad loose. We re-taped it and now it fits snug

Well I was going to be running their whole valve train with Lv3 cam and their rods. I'll still have the parts and if my ECU is able to use the KTuner solution, than I think I will just tune it myself later with the parts re-installed.

I love your car. White with black roof and rims. Someone dented my hatch and I have a few chips on my hood. I was thinking of going black along with the roof when i have them fixed.

I find the snow builds up in my jacking points on my mugen sides and over the years it's starting to peel away from the body. I was thinking of just cleaning out the gap and putting in some adhesive silicone where it's peeled , but not sure how strong that would be.

I don't have a body shop I go to and I'm too lazy to take both sides off and redo them, plus I don't have the templates anymore :/ hoping this will work.

In other news, summer tires go back on tomorrow, and doing my first brake fluid flush. Rented a car in LA yesterday made me realize how mushy my brake pedal feels now. Btw I'm jealous that you guys never have to wash your cars lol.

Lol well I was only there for a few hours and didn't bring the fit either. I'll definitely be back someday.

You got the parts yet?

Swapped antennas with a friend of mine's 350z. Now it looks like an oversized RC car

If your car is already at the bodyshop for other things you should just get it taken care of since it's about the same cost as vinyl if you just get black.

Wow, nice color!

Rear piece is definitely different than sides, I would try to remove them and clean the area then apply some fresh double-sided tape.

That antenna is huge on the Z already and on the Fit it looks hilarious
