waizzz- nice install picts. :tup:

i painted my front emblem backing red last night. :p looks good. but i cant seem to get the grill to slide all the way forward to clamp onto the bumper/frame during re-install :ugh:

the '12-13 bumper and grill has a different set up than the 09-11's..

Here is a photo of what you get with the kit (Control Unit, toggle switch, directions, and Throttle linkage)

The controller has 7 Setting Modes: (3 ECO Modes, 2 Boost Modes, Lo-Throttle Mode, and Hi-Throttle Mode).

I have spent significant time with the Eco modes and I now drive around with the most extreme Eco modes (for stop and go traffic) and the middle Eco modes for normal driving. Freeway merging or passing I drive around in the High-boost mode and it completely opens up the power of the car and removes any lag in throttle.

you shouldnt be lagging after that install...

I had to remove my OEM grille when I upgraded to the Mugen and it was a PITA for sure.

:icon17: very clever

I actually drive more in Eco mode to save gas so I make it lag intentionally ;)

I really like it. CVT is responsive and there's so much more room than anticipated.

i figured out how to slide that grill back onto the bumper on my '12. :ugh:

just pull up the bumper as you slide the grill in so that the grill does not clamp onto
the frame and just the bumper. i was expecting too much from this piece. :shakes head:

since it pissed me off wasting time 2 nights ago, i pulled it off again and put it back
on just for the hell of it. it took less than a minute. :mad:

waizzz- when you did the throttle controller install on your GE, did you do a gas pedal reset after the install? if so, how do you do that?

thanks. :D

The cargo capacity of the Fit is incredible, I will never need an SUV :tup:

Yo Ken, you have to do a reset as shown in the manual on their website:

Checkout section #9 with the section titled "Initialization"

Ahh, thanks waizzz :tup:

After some months of internal debate I have decided to run the Mugen front and rear aero pieces for the Panda.

I was able to find a local guy selling the Mugen exhaust and will get the Mugen aero later in the year and sell my Tanabe

How much are you looking to get for the Tanabe if considering shipping?

Hey David,

It would be cheaper just to get it from Amazon or Micro-Image brand new since I get a higher rate to ship it.

Rgr. I will hopefully get this sooner or later. Right now all my extra funds are tied up for Z Nationals.
