Hi guys, I am new at the forum, I would like to share with you guys what I have done to my Fit, Enjoy! :>

Alright, so I bearly know anything about cars alright so go easy on me, I went from this lifted Ford F-150


straight into this Honda Fit


I sold my truck and used it as a down payment for this car, gas was just ridiculous at the moment I had my truck as it was my everyday vehicle, I had to get rid of it. Funny thing is I am actually saving money having this new Fit with a car payment then gasing up my truck *which was paid off!*

So now heres my own progression thread, thanks for looking!



This is the car 100% new


Mods: 20% tint all the way around, Full Viper 2-way security system with all accessories.


Mods: Thule bike rack, I really needed this since I BMX everyday.


Mods: Black Rota Torques 17x8, 205/45/17 Dunlop tires. Every lug is a wheel lock


Eibach lowering springs 1.2F 1.4R


Mugen style visors


New bike frame!

Headlight mod

 

Fit looks awesome! how u like the rims?? any rubbing issues? also where did you purchase them?

 

Thank you! I like them, no rubbing issues at all, and I got them on Ebay. I figure these will be good rims to start with, inexpensive ;>, maybe once I feel more comfortable rolling like this ill get myself real rims than replicas.

 

loving the old truck. what suspension where you running on your old truck? your pictures remind me of my cousins house in Escondido.

Fit is looking good. Looking forward to see your springs installed!

 

i can't say this enough...the Fit looks so TUFF with a bike rack on top!!! Nice looking car!

 

Thank you, if i made enough money I would have still had the truck. My stepfather had the suspension done on the truck at ORW, I dont know the brand but I do know it was a 6 inch lift in front, size 4 block in the back, and I had stiffer leaf springs in the rear *I use to motocross so putting the dirtbikes in the back with the stiffer springs helped prevent the "California lift" look which i HATED!* :>

 

Thanks!, yeah I keep the bike mount off when I don't use it, I don't want everyday attention to it, but when I go to bike my car just looks mean. Haha thank you.

 

Cool car, but I'm afraid you'll rub once lowered.

 

thank you, and yeah i am very scared, at least its not too agressive of a low, 1.2F 1.4R

 

What's the offset on the rims?

 

Nice ride. Loving those rims and the Thule rack... Wish I had one. Good to see another bmx rider on here. I thought I was the only one for awhile... lol.

 

I REALLY wish I bought the red one now looking at that picture... I wasnt sure but that looks sick <3

 

the offset = 35mm

haha thank you! i flatland bmx, do you street? i got a new frame so once my car gets lowered tomorrow, ill try to get a new pic with the drop and put my bike on the rack with the new frame ^.^

just lift your backseats up and throw your bike in there, thats what i did, i just wanted some style and got the bike rack :>

 

You'll rub. Might want to rethink those Eibachs. Sorry - just trying to save you the trouble. Are you rubbing at all now when cornering hard?

 

i took a look, there does seem like some rubbing only with my front left tire on the top, i'll talk to the guys at the shop and see what they recommend

thank you for looking out! :>

 

really good start with your Fit

if you rub after the drop just roll your fenders, no biggy. although, when you get new tires you may want to consider a 205 or 195 width to regain some of the lost mpg and acceleration.

btw, NICE TRUCK!

 

and thank you bro! i wish i still had the truck :<, but the fit is very nice and i am very happy with it. and yeah ill see at the end of the day how the car is, and ill roll the fenders, my friends considering cutting them instead and sealing them with exterior paint

oops and i made a typo, i put 215 tires but they are 205s, just corrected it.

 

Welcome to Fit Freak! It's nice to see another SoCal member join the forum. Sweet GE8 bro. Have fun with the build!

 

Please do not cut your fenders. You will hate yourself. Just a simple roll is all you will need.

 

Dropped. I have rubbing issues, i gotta get this handled quick
