Hi everyone, I just picked up a 2010 Fit Sport on Saturday. Fairly new to the whole Honda scene. My wife and I had a Del sol and a GSR Integra years ago, but I'd been driving a Harley Davidson Edition F150 the past 4 years. Any tips on where to start with getting familiar with the import culture would be appreciated.

When you drive the Fit, you start noticing other Fits a lot more. Also notice how many people drive small cars like the Fit. I've been driving small 4 cyl cars for a long time. Always interesting to me to read articles on little cars and to see what folks write on sites like Fit Freak. Can learn a lot that way.

Thanks siguy, I definitely notice more Fits in my area now. I have always liked the smaller cars. The mini cooper had always caught my eye but when I was ready to get out of my truck i couldn't find one as nice and as affordable as the Fit I bought. I am really starting to get into driving it. It was quite a change coming from a supercharged v8. This car though is quite peppy and I like the sporty feel and easy handling. Plus the 35 mpg I'm getting is quite the bump up from the 11 avg mpg of my truck. I look forward to learning more about this little car and what is out there in after market support.

I'm not quite sure yet. Nothing to in depth. I'll probably start with the usual exhaust, intake, and some exterior stuff. Wouldn't mind seeing if there's maybe a turbo kit out there for the future.

I would recommend checking out the Fit oem accessories from a site like Bernardiparts.com (honda dealer website)

There are a lot of cool things to add on especially for your sport edition.

Sprintex sells a supercharger that's $2500 and used stock injectors and just has to piggyback off te ecu. It pushes it to 160hp and 140ftlbs of torque.
Can use the stock intake or aftermarket intakes. It basically replaces the stock intake manifold.

I don't have any specific experience with turbos but they are out there.

I did see that doing a Google search. Not sure I'm willing to dump that kind of money in just yet. Time will tell though.
