hello everyone, I just purchased a 2011 Honda fit sport 5 speed manual. I love the car and have plans to mod it ofcourse. Or else I wouldn't really need to be on this site. my name is Gil and im a car enthusiast. "hello Gil" yes that is why I am here. from what I have seen on this site, the car looks dammm good lowered. so I bought some tein springs for it. eventually I will start doing other little mods. I am from the san Fernando valley in so cal and work at an Acura dealership so I got this car for a steal I thought. I chose the fit because I have a 60lb bull dog that I wouldn't want on that nice supple leather in the Acuras. sooo it goes in the trunk of my fit and my seats are safe. Looking to meet some cool people that are also car enthusiasts that have modded their fit. here is a pic of mine at my job.




update

rolled fenders

 

oh yea one more thing i got my car used and it came with usb audio, blue tooth handsfreelink and rear view camera on a little screen which is kinda cool. I guess the previous owner did all that stuff.

 

Congrats on your Fit Gil, what did you have before?

You're more than welcome to join us for our first meet in Cerritos on 11/9 if you would like to meet some other Fit owners

this is my 14th car in my 14 years of driving. ive had mostly Hondas and acuras with exceptions of vwr32, Hyundai gen coupe and sonata, wrx. as for Hondas and acuras I had 3 civic si ep3, fg2 fa5, accord, s2000, civic em1, integra da. im hoping to keep this one for a while though

 

Cerritos isn't too far im from san Fernando valley, unfortunately being in the car industry I always work weekends so it doesn't look like il make it to that meet. are there any weekday meets? my days off are teusday wednesday

 

congrats on the purchase. I too am from the SFV (glendale represent!). You will love your fit, i've had mine since 06.

 

Do u recommend any shops to get parts from in the valley?

 

Great car history, you truly are a Honda guy!

Nothing I know of during the week hopefully you can make it to a future meet otherwise

thainks waizzz im installing my springs on teusday, then probably going to micro image for my intake. the cars been a blast and im enjoying it.

 

From one Subie guy to another, welcome aboard!

 

My screen name is subiehuy be caused it used to change screen names every time I switched cars but it happened so often that I got tired of confusing people with new screen names all the time lol

 

hey gil!:P

 

Wats up peter!

 

ok so springs were put on last Friday, I did my alignment today and I also did a muffler delete mod where I put a straight pipe with new exhaust tip. sounds awesome and deep. not too loud. my next mod would be an intake either injen or k&n. will update when that is done.

 

So I just installed some xxr531 on my fit. Used my stock tires. The wheels are 16x8 20 offset. Will post pics when I get off work. I get a little bit of rubbing when I roll over dips or speed bumps. Other than that I'm good. Love the look of the wheels. Currently lowered on tein springs

 

I don't know man, those size tires with those wheel specs, I'm pretty sure it's going to be more then just a little rubbing.

Are your fenders rolled? If you only rolled the car on the lot you won't get the full experience of that wheel setup. Wait until you hit the streets.

 

ive been driving around with this set up for a few days now. when i hit dips on the road going over 40mph it will rub, but only when i have a passenger or 2 in the car. it doesnt really rub if im driving alone. i do need my fenders rolled though for coilovers in the future.

 

=)

 

I would think some mad front camber is in order to run that setup in the front.

 

+1 to camber and fender roll, that is pretty aggressive for a Fit

Wheels look nice though, good match to your color
