herro!
so i just picked up an 07 fit sport. tafetta white. its so beautiful. i am in love.
i am a 4 time honda owner, all civic eks... but now i have changed up my style to 4 doors...
i am new to this forum business and i was wondering if you peoples could give my some suggestions to start some mods on my car. i just have no idea where to start. my bf is more into vws and i need some advice... maybe suggestions on intake to start.. also, are there any gliches or secrets about my car i should know about?? also, how hard is it to change out the head light/fog light bulbs???
any/all advice is welcome.. i am not super car savvy....
hope someone actually reads this.. LOL.
thank you! and happy tuesday!

 

Headlight bulbs are replaceable through the inner wheel-well, should be an H4 bulb (The PIAA Ultra Blue headlights are a good strong bulb.)... and look pretty cool.

Just pull back the front most portion of the wheel well (a couple of clips) and away u go! there will be a rubber cover over the actual bulb access on the rear of the headlight assembly.

 

Biggest bang for buck is new (lighter weight) rims/tires, and probably a max of 17 inch wheel on the fit or it will get bumpy! Also an intake/exhaust combo depends what u want as far as turbo/non-turbo. HKS makes a good turbo kit(bolt on), also kreftwerks makes a couple options - (search article on this site.)

 

Welcome to FF.net a really good first mod would be the Progress RSB. Its very easy to install and it really tightens up the body roll.

 

This thread will be very helpful for me too. I am a 3 time Honda owner(97 silver civic coupe type R front, a pearl 99 prelude base with type S front and rare fluh mount wing and now my new white girl! 07 tafetta white fit sport AT) << just got it last week.

I hope u don't mind if I post questions on here as well if it comes up! White fits ftmfw!!!

I have a couple in line. First will be tints and mugen visors. Then white sprint CPR rims. Going for the white one white look. Then lower it.

 

I agree with MNfit. Progress bar first, then lower.

There are diy threads on this site for changing headlight bulbs and for removing fog lights to change those bulbs. Both are very easy. Check in maintenance or trix sections I think they are in there.

I run piaa bulbs 7000k heads and 3500k fogs. I love them, and there is no hid glare.

 

awww. yay someone replied... i appreciate it all.. will look into the progress rsb and lowering.. really want to change my bulbs soon... googling-piaa bulbs now.....
so anyone know of someone selling a roof rack by any chance???
happy pre-friday!
<3 EmericaHA!

 

I know the headlights in the GD3 are H4s but could you tell me the type of bulb that the fogs are?

 

Fog bulbs are h11

 

Sorry it took me so long here are pics:

 

Roof racks are always popping up in the for sale section, I would look daily. Oh, and welcome!

 

If you have an automatic transmission, get the leather Honda shift knob...it's has real nice feal. I see that you live in CA, so you can't replace the intake with thr K&N Typhoon intake system, but you can replace the air filter elemint with a K&N replacement filter. Rear sway bar is good, but the regular bolts rub on the sring and make squeaking noises...have to use flat head screws there. The next question to you is, how hard do you drive your car? Based on your answer, we could guide you some more...but we all need a little more info. Your profile doesn't help much at all.

This is my way of saying welcome...if you don't understand us gearheads (me).

 

Awesome..Thanks for everyone's replies...
@Bthasht: the bulbs look sweet! i will look into them and also the RSB.. GRacias!
@Jodele: ... I understand...LOL Even though I am a girl... I get it! I just got my car.. haven't even tested it... I use it as my daily driver to work/school/etc... so whatever would make it a tad fun.. Just a tad.. LOL I have had toooo toooo too many speeding tickets in my short life!!
@honda2112.. for sure ill be looking out on this forum.. i keep checking CL with no luck.. there are some crazy people on there...here to i am sure.. LOL..
Muchas Gracias Everyone.... Reply asap if you can! i am here at stupid jury duty..LOL

 

If you wrap the bottom of your rear springs with heater hose the noises from the rear sway bar will not be heard. Look for lowering springs on for sale section. There are deals coming up on there all the time. This is one of the best for looks and handling. Then rear sway bar.

 

The mods to start with are wheels and tires. we have found here that most customers have been better with 195/55x15 tires, Dunlop Direzzo Stars if they are performance oriented and 175/65x15 if they are mpg oriented or all season. For the 16" wheels the 185/55x16 or 195/50x16 are about all there really is. 205's may look good but always cost mpg and acceleration as they are heavier than stock by a bunch though if you go with 205/50x15 the shorter diameter makes up for a lot of the increased weight. For 17" 195/45x17 appears to be the best route.
good luck.
After wheels and tires comes better shocks and lowering but be sure to plan on the right size and wheel offset ahead of time. 45 mm minimum for wheels when lowered..
One really big seller is 1/4" spacers to widen track by 1/2" to get a tad more negative camber for very low cost, maybe $50. That works for any stoick wheel; most aftermarket wheels are typically 1/2 to 5/8" less offset so the track widens by 1 to 1.25".
