Splicing Scarface into this video was priceless. I know you got a new mattress but what I used in my mummy tent coming to Washington was the Coleman self-inflating sleeping pad. The only downfall I found was that it was easy to puncture the pillow part.

Lol, thanks. I've been wanting to use the audio in a IG reel or YT short forever. Yeah, I also had some issues using an inflatable pad to. The mat got a hole in it and when I went to use the patch repair kit, the glue was all dried up.

@HondaFit4AdventureКүн бұрын
AliExpress. Purchasing Tips. 1. Several listings will pop up for the same grille. Find the listings that have reviews. 2. Email the sellers from those listings and ask if they will ship to the U.S. or wherever you are located. 3. Purchase from a seller who responds to your email.

Sir, you are a genius, can you tell me what exactly did you use for the climate control to add magnet mount for i assume a phone as well, because I've been struggling with finding a good spot for one in my jazz i hate drilling holes or using those vent ones
@HondaFit4AdventureКүн бұрын
I also dislike the vent mounts. Not only do they move, the cellphone being exposed to the sun while running a GPS app may cause the phone to overheat and power off. So....I superglued an industrial magnet to the HVAC knob. Here are two other options that are quite popular. Slide on Cup holder mount. This was very popular in the FIT forums, but I'm not sure if it's available anymore. www.google.com/imgres?q=honda%20fit%20cup%20holder%20phone%20mount&imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fcimg0.ibsrv.net%2Fgimg%2Fwww.fitfreak.net-vbulletin%2F640x640%2F2img61789696_5a1b3c875ce2f346b08b9e7650da72842c4d40b6.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fitfreak.net%2Fforums%2Fgeneral-fit-talk%2F100044-2018-fit-cupholder-phone-holder-charger.html&docid=PGTTJwH0-jMVhM&tbnid=i-oGYLu-Aik1HM&vet=12ahUKEwiT3MTb942HAxWPjYkEHRPODzgQM3oECBcQAA..i&w=640&h=640&hcb=2&ved=2ahUKEwiT3MTb942HAxWPjYkEHRPODzgQM3oECBcQAA Passenger Dashboard Mount.

Installed a "cold air intake" to suck in hot engine air?🤔 Definitely lost HP with that mod bud..
@HondaFit4Adventure2 күн бұрын
I agree to disagree. First this is an SRI or a Short Ram Intake, not a CAI or a Cold Air Intake. Even though it's an SRI, Id argue that it sucks up "Warm Air". Yes, it sucks up hot air while the car is at a standstill, but when the car is moving there is quite a bit of airflow up into the engine bay, creating a similar intake temperature compared to the OEM airbox. This was even more true once the open face Carbon Fiber grille was added. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b66SrJmfzd7PYYk.htmlsi=ZnIGm3rRKN1up8zT I eventually switched to the HPS Cold Air Intake because it created more room in the engine bay, and it fit the color scheme of the car better. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h6mWZMh1ztS0g4E.htmlsi=xTeIX3X63nPFAGUw One piece of information that I noticed while testing intakes is that the factory airbox sucks up a lot more humidity compared to any aftermarket intake or filter. I'm not sure what that will do to an engine long term, but it's definitely worth noting.

Hi Daniel. The plan was to drive from Illinois to Wisconsin and back stopping every 15miles or so to charge up. Even with the gravel affecting the battery range, I still should've had enough power in the aftermarket batteries to get back to the McHenery charge point, if I didn't let the OEM battery die first. Now that I know the scooter wont recognize the aftermarket batteries without the OEM battery, I wont accidentally put my self in that situation again.

You do live in or near the city and some places are starting to require licenses on e-vehicles that exceed 20mph or 250watts? These electric unicycles are at least 2000watt motors. Lol, don't get F-D
