Dad's Fit
 
Just purchased an '07 Fit last year and finally have started to look into modding it for my Dad...HAHA! My dad drives this thing from Milwaukee to Ironwood, MI all the time to our small cabin. He's a retired guidance counselor LOL

Black, 5 speed, 60k and counting.


So far:

Thule Load Bars

Drag DR9 16x7 Red w/ chrome lip (forgot tires)

T1R CAI

Ebay header back exhaust 2.5"

Plans:

Header?

Tanabe Strut Bars F+R

C Pillar Bar

Trunk Cover (in transit)

Tanabe Springs

Rear Sway

Lip Kit

HID's

ECU REFLASH????

Goal: To build him a fun little go kart that will handle like a boss. If the snow is too much, he can borrow my RT4WD Wagon while I'm at school.

Pics soon!

any info, opinions, and experiences regarding my mods list please feel free to comment

How much did you end up getting it for? Looking at an 07 with 60k miles for a friend locally. Being that we're quite a ways from you, price really won't have that much relevance, but was just curious.

Get a Zeta Dead Pedal on that list!!! Great comfort/convenience mod and the first thing I did. Also helps you keep up right when chucking it about corners :D

The rear sway bar will be a big handling bump, but a proper alignment with some camber bolts to get at least -1.5 camber and toe set to zero up front will make a HUGE difference.

If you want to re flash the ECU, you need to go with a Hondata Flash Pro. Not cheap, but the only viable tuning option for these little cars.

We paid roughly 7k for the Fit
