put the back seats down and a mattress in the rear... then Snooze away.

welcome to the forum. There's a ton of info on here so search around and read lots. A little bit more info about what you actually want to do with the car would help. handling?, power?(good luck), audio?

Welcome Julecervas!

Heads up on the intake...word is that the Fit ECU will negate any power gains of a CAI due to its focus on fuel efficiency. Others on the forum have experienced this...just FYI bro!

Cheers!

Welcome! Like specboy said some specifics and a lot of searching will come in handy!

How much power are you looking to make, realistically? Budget?

This is unfortunately very true.

The silver lining to that though is that you can save the $200-300 you would spend for an intake pipe (which is basically a $20 dollar aluminum tube) and instead drop it on $15 for some colder plugs and some better 93 or 91oct fuel which is currently only ~$3 a tank more than 87oct around here.

Which will make the same (or more) peak power while making more low-mid range torque than you would with with a CAI/SRI
