I LOVE my Fit!

Hey guys, I recently wrecked my 09 Cube, which I loved. I rear ended a truck (at a freaking green light) going about 15 mph. It was my fault, yada yada yada. I was originally looking into getting a truck, but being a college student that commutes 50+ miles a day, I can't afford that. So I decided to get back to my roots, Honda! Once I realized I couldn't afford the gas of a truck, I had my heart set on getting a Fit, I've loved them since they came to the states. After looking at a few, I found this one, a SSM 2010 Sport with 46k miles and the option that I HAD to have, 5 SPEED transmission! I've been stuck in automatic transmissions since 2007, and i can't tell you how much I'm enjoying driving this car. It feels so great to finally be DRIVING again and not just riding in a automatic.

I do plan on lowering it and putting some rims on it, but my budget is extremely tight, so it likely won't be happening any time soon. Regardless, this car is a blast stock.

Enough of my jabbering, here's a few pics I took from the day after I brought her home

Again, welcome to the forum!

So far some of the common things I've seen done that are somewhat budget friendly are Swift Springs, Progress Rear Anti-Roll bar, an Electronic Throttle Body controller, and a short throw shifter.

yah +1 to the swift springs hootie mentioned.

i run them too on my '12, very nice feel. not too low too so you can do your daily tasks without worrying about scraping. swift did a real nice job on these springs.

That AND you don't have to worry about premature shock wear or cutting the bump stops if I remember right.
