So this happened:
1/7/2007 - 6/6/2013 - 2007 SSM Fit Sport Auto =[ @144285 miles



So after a LONG week driving a rental car Mazda 3 sedan, I went and got this:
6/16/2013 - 2013 CBP Fit Sport Manual

Tint 35 Rear windows/glass

Tanabe Touring Medallion axle back
PRM intake
Revo technica short shifter
OEM visors, all weather floor mats, cargo tray

6/19/2013:
Exhaust is delivered. Go amazon prime.





6/20/2013:
Short shifter installed and shift knob from my old GSR
Skunk2 10th anniversary shift knob lol


6/24/2013:
PRM intake delivered and installed

6/26/2013:
OEM Accessories delivered and installed.


6/27/2013: Rear sway bar delivered.

6/30/2013:
Ordered RPF1s and tires.

7/18/2013:
Redshift coilovers finally delivered and installed!

Teaser pic until I can get some nice pics of the height.


7/20/2013:
Alignment today. -3 camber up front.

Rpf1 16x7 +35
yokohama s.drives 205/50/16

949Racing 6UL 15x7.5 +42
BFG Rivals 225/45/15

8/1/13:
Waiting to be installed:
softer rear springs for daily driving - 275 lb/in

Waiting to buy:
stiffer rear springs for autox - 672 lb/in

Waiting to ship:
h-fit short shifter/hard mounts
t1r b-pipe
cusco 2pt and 4pt braces
spoon front sway bar

Shipped:
skunk2 short shifter

08/06/13:
Short shifters came in. failed at any combination of the 3 i have.

08/15/13:
So... The revo technica short shifter works with the h-fit adapter and skunk2 mounts(h-fit hard mounts would be the same since the revo technica already has hard mounts.) Right now I have the revo technica ss, h-fit adapter, skunk2 spacers, bolts from hardware store. The center console just barely fits over it and the cup holders don't fully snap into place. But the shift is pretty darn short.

Still waiting to ship:
T1r b pipe
Spoon fsb

Still waiting to be installed:
Cusco braces
Softer daily rear springs (waiting to get some stiffer autox springs.)

Still have a list of things I want to buy:
Flashpro for the love of GOD Hondata!
JDP stuff
Retrofit headlights
Bucket seat???

Then I'll be done.... Probably.

09/03/2013:
Quick update
Got one of the 2 cusco braces on. Also added jdm red front and rear Honda badges. And some jdm rs tails.



In the mail:
Retrofit headlights
Greddy SE axle back (arrived today. may update later.)

Still waiting to ship:
T1r b pipe
Spoon fsb

Still have a list of things I want to buy:
Flashpro for the love of GOD Hondata!
JDP stuff
Bucket seat

first dyno day with takeda cai and t1r b pipe/greddy axle back


2nd dyno day with added t1r header/pcd and secondary cat delete and street tune with ktuner. first pull was done with no tune (112whp). then 3 pulls on the street tune. i actually went back to the shop a couple weeks later for another dyno day and pulled 116 again.

That is what you call a Fit fan. Get the new car and jump right in doing mods. Going to be nice when you get done.

Yeah it's a Mugen copy I think. Feels fine to me but bear in mind I've only had it on about two weeks. I couldn't tell you about it's longevity. Shifts are a bit notchy but I've heard that's what all the short shifter that replace the entire assembly are like. There's a thread on here about it I think.

Unhappy My fit wrecked too!

Love your new fit! I was just in an accident Friday and it crumpled. I really don't want it totaled. Does anyone know if the front crumples, will it be wrecked?

Solid stuff going on in this thread. How do you like the prm intake? It's cross my mind to pick one up but the gains don't really seem like they're worth it.

I honestly couldnt tell you the difference between prm and stock since I installed it before break-in was done. Sounds amazing though. Had a PRM intake on my GD and I had no complaints then either.

Good choice in wheels, I was going to get 949 for my EK, but got the rpf1 wrapped in yokohoma s drives instead. I might try them on my fit just to see how they'd look lol! Pic below for reference:
