im new to tuning and just wanted to get some help with my fit, I just turned 17 and have had my fit for a little while now and just wanted to know where to start on tunignmy fit, they can be anything from audio, to motor, to interior, i just want to be pointed in the proper direction for tuning my fit.

thanks guys,

 

Not much is out for the Fit so you're limited to what you can do. I would first drop your Fit with springs.

 

alright so suspension, including wheels and tires?
how big of wheels can you put on a fit?

 

i would get 16s u dont want ur rims to be to big n then drop it on some springs later but ur choice

 

Suspension is always my first step when it comes to mods.

 

alright so a nice set of wheels and tires, then what would you follow with? im looking at cold air intake and a nice exaust system, what are good brands to look at when buying those mods?

 

Words of wisdom:

Drop before getting aftermarket wheels.

 

Spend 120.00 and install a Fujita cold air intake..that was my first mod and Im very happy with the results

 

alright so should i go motor>suspension for my first few buys
actually let me ask this.
what would your first 5 things you'd buy after getting a fit?

 

My First 5 Mods:
1) Coilovers
2) Wheels/Tires
3) Rear sway bar
4) Strut tower bars
5) C-pillar bar

All suspension. Lol!

 

alright thanks, any other input?

 

It all depends on what you want to do with the car? Are you going to be entering into shows? Or is this just an A to B and sometimes C vehicle?

Keep in mind, upgrades mean nothing for resale.

 

i understand that, its just an A to B car, that i can zoom around in. i just want a fun, good looking car to drive.

 

u get exhaust or intake u will feel like a little racer and end up speeding more just to hear the sound then being young cops will pull u over everytime

o and the whole suspension thing springs how cool is it to have 2 park on the street getting those great street sweeping tickets. since u cant make it in ur driveway or walking to carls jr on the hill since u dont wanna lose ur lip on ur car. But its ur choice as long as u can handle it u cant go wrong with what u mod first

 

Well the first thing i would do is get coilovers, so that way you can do adjustment to the stock wheels you have on, and than get some really nice wheels 16's or 17's. depend on you! and than i would get CAI, than after that.. its your choice from there!!

 

Coilovers are out already?

 

before you do anything to your car, devise a plan. Outline what you intend to acheive with your modifications. Then build towards that goal. You could waste a lot of money if you don't. I wish I did this when I tuned my old wrx.

 

get DUBS! hahahaha

 

If you even think about coilovers, do yourself a favor and go for true coilovers. The cheap sleeve type ones will kill your ride and have you bouncing all over the place. Be warned though, if/when they do come out with a true coilover for the 09, it's probably going to be well over 1000$ for the set.

 

it seems like i only need a few mods to have this car where i want it,
if you beleive more is needed say something but heres my plan so far.
1.exhaust
2.wheels/tires
3.CAI
4. im not sure yet
5. im not sure yet.
what should the last two spots be? by that time the car will look better and be faster so im thinking maybe audio? or a body kit of somesort? thanks guys this has really helped alot.
