What can I do to make my Fit faster?

Hello everyone, this is my first time I’m on here and I’ve been reading everyone’s forums on how they upgraded their car but I just wanted to come on here and ask myself 😅 I want to know anyone’s suggestions on how to start on making my fit faster. I’m running stock manual sport fit and still pretty good on mileage so no problems that I’ve run into yet for maintenance.

With basic aftermarket parts. Just like most cars...


Research, research, research...

As the others have said:
1) more power
2) less weight

I don't know if it is measurable (as in quarter mile time) but my Fit felt noticeably more responsive with lighter wheels. I went from heavy steelies to Mini Cooper R81 wheels (12 lbs ea.)

Stickier tires, lighter wheels, suspension upgrades. Not much stuff to take out for weight reduction

For more power, probably a supercharger or turbo are probably the best bet. People do engine swaps but seems like a lot of work and expense.

how would I be able to do that and where do I even purchase that? After all the comments I will for sure be able to make the car lighter but supercharger?? What do I need to even purchase boost for this car?

Did you try Google? I'm sure there are also many posts here as well. Those would be places to start.
