<NICK>



Location: Calgary SW

List of Mods: 15" Rota Rims & Bridgestone RE-11 Tires, BE Sway Bar & C-Pillar strut, Mugen Visors, Skunk2 Short Shift & Knob, T1R Stainless Brakelines, WR Race Header & SS 50S Exhuast, WR Short Ram Intake, Tanabe GF210 Springs, X3E Brakes, WR Intake Manifold, UR Pulley, Greddy E-Manage Ultimate ECU.

Future Plans: Almost out of ideas!



I bought the Fit as a day to day get around car, however I met a local Fitfreak at a car wash after I installed some rims & tires and now I have the mod bug. I am originally from Vancouver (Go Canucks!) and have lived in Calgary for 9 years. In a previous car life to the Fit I was a Jeep freak, then an Isuzu Freak, then a BMW freak. I am a Civil, Structural & Architectural lead for a major engineering firm in the gas & oil industry. I am looking forward to participating in some of the Autocross during the Race City "Secret Street" events.

Version 2.0


Location: NW Calgary
Mods: Too many to list here!
Future Plans: No hints here. A few of you know what's going on, but that's it! Version 3.0 will be out this May!

Hmmm what about me...4th Year Mechanical Engineering student at the Schulich School of Engineering at the University of Calgary currently interning in the oil and gas industry. I got the Fit initially for the extra space (smart car only sat two ), but soon started to mod my Fit to what you see up there. Lots more to come, keep your eyes peeled!

Don't know how to post a pic... tried and kept getting errors.

Location: Edmonton Southside (used to live in Calgary)
List of Mods: Sway bars are really the only undercarriage thing I've got on. I'm happy with it the way it is. Just put some other stuff on but really, it's just esthetics!
Future Plans: None really. I just want to put on a new shift knob & bag as well as find a place who will do custom decals as I want one for the gas tank cover.
Current Plans: Get my baby back from A1 Autobody. Looks like I might get it back next week sometime. Woohoo!!!

(Cindy)

Hello!

I picked up my 2009 Honda Fit LX AT (Blue Sensation Pearl) on Thursday and I'm in love with it like it's my first child.



Location: NW (Citadel)
List of mods: None.. am too poor right now.
Future Plans: Hoping to get her some new shoes. Not digging the current ones too much at the moment.

After nearly two years of suffering (aka public transit), I decided to get myself a car and the Fit was my first choice. And it was within my tight budget. I'm an executive assistant at a large not-for-profit, planning to obtain a graphic design degree from ACAD.

LOL. I was actually hoping to get to the meet on the 17th. I bought the car on the 9th and figured I could get it in a few days, but it took longer than anticipated. I'm up for a NW Fit car meet

I know what you mean! There's a certain 'je ne said quoi' about it. I'm not how much the wheels weigh, but they're similar to the ones on the Civic Hybrid I believe. Maybe they'll grow on me with time. They remind me of pizza :P
