Welcome to the forum, quite an impulse buy from Audi, and BMW to the Fit. But judging from your other vehicles it will not remain stock for long.

It was an insanely durable car. I was really hard on it. Bought it about 8 years ago and now that I think about it I sold it a long time ago lol. I sold it for 38k but that was before the e92 had come out. It was pretty nice, KW suspension + Kreissieg exhaust + Works and a few other bits and pieces.

That's been a huge money pit. The RS4 conversion alone was about 20k in panels, labor and paint. The paint is Ferrari Grigio Silverstone. It puts all my other projects to shame in terms of financial investment.

I'm a Honda guy at heart. In terms of build quality and durability Honda builds the best vehicle I've ever owned. I was trying to blow the motor in that prelude while working the kinks out of a high power turbo setup and was running an sc-61 at 18psi pushing 411hp to the wheels on one of the weaker Honda motors and it held for a full year something like 10k miles from 128k-138k before I sold it.

Very nice!

I'm new the forums here as well. Curious, what plans do you have with the fit in terms of customization?

Thank you man for the compliments. Building those cars(the wagon in particular) has been painstaking so it means a lot!

The wagon looks so much better out of the shadows. Love JDM wheels on Euro cars. Let me know if you ever want rig shots of your wagon

Congrats on the Fit and Thumbs up for your previous builds! That Audi is sick and I myself had a BB1 and BB6 too!

You will love the Fit. Great little car to just enjoy.

I am pretty sure I saw your build of the S4 on NWP4LIFE? Can't remember where, but checked in often
