Hey welcome to the Calgary thread.... sorry it seems to be pretty dead around here lately.

I got jerked around a bit by a few places here that refused to bargin, I ended up getting mine out of High River Honda so I could swing a deal. They were good to me, just ensure you specify OEM parts on the contract if you get anything extra!!

If you want to buy locally send Illusive a PM, he can hook you up with with his dealer and a good price too. I probably would have done that if I had known about this forum beforehand.

Thanks for the help.

I think the fit is such a cool car--that being said I currently own a 2006 wrx---which I LOVE as well, but it aids me in my inability to keep my speeds down and in addition I don't think there are enough environmentally responsive people out there---- So I want to do my part and the fit will help.

That is funny, I really wanted an STI but I settled with the Fit because it was a more responcible choice (both for the environment and because it would keep me out of trouble)

Turns out starting this September I had to start commuting to work, so it has worked out well. It gets such good mileage!!

You made the awesome choice--wish I did the same almost a year ago when we bought the wrx. In addition the fit will hold its value better. In the last 10 months our car as depreciated like 9 grand 25%.

I decided to Bump our old Super thread

You guys should sign up for this, they want to lobby Depo to produce those fancy projector headlamps.

USDM Projector Headlights by DEPO

Don't know if you guys are interested or not, but I signed up at a new forum that seriously needs some Fit owners to represent.... TheMicroTeam - Powered by vBulletin

Woot! I took possession of my Condo today, my first day as an official homeowner!

I am super excited, everything turned out really nicely. Finish is amazing; we have a solid floor to roof stone bathroom, frameless shower, big soaker tub & a full spread of Miele appliances!!

Now just have to measure up my living room for a nice big flat screen

Well I'm finally a Fit owner so I guess I can post in this section too :P

If there is a meet in January I will try to make it out and meet all of you guys!

Illusive · #**1009** (**permalink**) 12-22-2007, 01:14 PM

I'm sure there will be! Welcome to the group!

Mr_ET · #**1010** (**permalink**) 01-03-2008, 02:35 PM

Thanks!

When is the next meeting? I want to make sure my car is nice and clean for it

On a side note, got to use long mode yesterday to carry some stuff and it was awesome

Illusive · #**1011** (**permalink**) 01-03-2008, 05:12 PM

Sugarphreak · #**1012** (**permalink**) 01-03-2008, 05:59 PM

Illusive · #**1013** (**permalink**) 01-03-2008, 06:09 PM

Mr_ET · #**1014** (**permalink**) 01-04-2008, 02:00 AM

You guys both getting the rear sway installed there?

Illusive · #**1015** (**permalink**) 01-04-2008, 11:37 AM

I'm gonna sell mine, don't want to go through all the trouble of installation. It's a pretty big job.

Mr_ET · #**1016** (**permalink**) 01-04-2008, 01:45 PM

any of you guys going to auto-x the car at Racecity next season?

I might try it on the strip one night to get a nice 17 second pass

Illusive · #**1017** (**permalink**) 01-04-2008, 02:19 PM

I'll be autocrossing my Fit once I get new struts in

You should, it is lots of fun and not too much peer pressure

I went last year, was a blast!!
