I've had the fit a little over 5 years now and have done lots of little things to it, mostly what's in my Signature. I'm not sure what to do next though. Just wanted some opinions.

Not lowering as I live near and frequently drive in NYC. Rims will come later on. Keeping it N/A. Was thinking between the things below:

Axleback Exhaust, Header, Strut Bar - Front or Rear, Tint, Door Visors, JDM Tails whether DEPO or OEM, Center Console

Thoughts anyone?

 

Exhaust and strut bars for sure. It should be a nice blend of cosmetic and performance.

 

A Porsche!

Haha. Although you live near and commute to NYC lowering can be done. Just a little slower driving but you'll have better maneuverability around those man size potholes.

Adding those bolt-ons and strut bars will only complement the car. You'll really enjoy the Fit so much more with the combination of everything.

 

new rims/tires combo!

 

Hondata and a good tune

 

^^^this is the only good answer that will actually have an impact on performance aside from noise level.

 

Hondata was one of the best investments for sure. Seems many have had good success on Etunes as well.

 

Can you make more power with Hondata on a near stock car like mine? What would be the benefit? I only have an intake.

 

With proper tuning hondata by itself adds roughly 10hp and 10tq. It also leans out a few super rich cells in the fit stock tune (I saw 12.4 in one load cell). You can adjust lower end timing so that there is a quicker throttle response as well.

 

Of these options I'd vote the strut tower bars front and rear (and Progress rear anti-sway bar). Or FlashPro and a proper tune. The bars help immensely with handling and FlashPro helps with milking power out of the little 1.5L. I got 117whp with intake and header-back exhaust.

 

Thanks guys, I like the idea of the Hondata and the bars. How much is Hondata?

 

A new FlashPro is $695. You may be able to find one used for about $600, but make sure it is for the 2007-2008 US/Canadian Fit and not some other vehicle because it won't work. You can either try to tune it yourself, or you can get it professionally tuned. I would highly suggest the latter, and from Vit Viper who has tuned probably thousands of Hondas. See Ultimate Tune for the best $129 investment you'll make after the FlashPro.
