My current job, is a little side job, I picked up fresh out of college. Just babysitting two kids. I love the job, but one if they call this lady she is going to know I am still looking for degree related employment, and two...since it's babysitting, I get paid cash money, I don't pay taxes on...

Its a nice little car. If your only option is a subcompact, the fit is your best bet. Its faster and handles better than anything else in the entry level segment. Also, if there is anything Honda does right, it is building little cars that last forever.

80,000 miles is a good time to have your belts changed anyway. If it breaks under load(that is, while you are accelerating) it will do a lot of damage. Getting it done is cheap, probably less than $100 at a reputable shop. Probably more at the dealership but worth it to avoid the headaches a...

Take an old rag, one that you are willing to throw away and a 20 oz bottle of Coke. Remove the wires from the battery terminals and douse all four with the soda. Let it sit for a few seconds and then give them all a good once-over with the rag. Then throw the rag away, its ruined. Re-attach...

I have to agree with JD, if you want to build a show car you need a better platform. That car can't be worth more than $2000. If you spend $5000 on a $2000 car, its still a $2000 car. not hating just honest.

A cat-back exhaust would help too, but not that much. In new Hondas, the ECU has static fuel maps. Meaning, the same amount of fuel is delivered regardless of the bolt-ons. The best way to get good milage is to slow down(no fun I know, but effective) and to keep it maintained.

Removing the cat is a very bad idea. Your check engine light will come on and never go off. The car will run rich and kill your milage and everyone behind at the stop light will have to suck more exhaust fumes from your black smoke belching tailpipe. Just get a cat-back.

yes, take it in now before your waranty expires!

They sell universal conversion kits but they are pricey and not worth the time or effort.

the problem isn't that they lock up, it's that as they get hot they stop working as well (or fade). you can probably do a junk yard upgrade on the cheap, but it will likely cost 300 or more. spend that money on some good tires and a helmet instead.

it would be best to tune it when you put the turbo on. with low boost you may be ok as is, but you run the risk of running too lean which can severely damage your engine. boost=more air. more air requires more fuel
