My Fit Sport

Hello there. I have never posted a picture of my Fit on here, so thought I would share a few with you and see what I have going on with it. It's a 2010 and I've had the car since brand new. Never modded anything on it till now.

The only mods on the car right now are the lowering springs which are Eibach pro kit. I also have a spoon shift knob, which I really like the feel of. I also had a hard radiator pipe made for it and had it powdercoated white. The clamps on it are temp clamps till my guy orders nicer looking ones. I also had him make me an intake and a overflow coolant jug as well. Both of those will be powdercoated and installed by next weekend.

Here are some pics.

Picture of it lowered, looks like every other stock fit that is on lowering springs!


Engine bay will get a full detail when I get the other parts put on. This is showing the radiator pipe.


Pipe again. Will be getting t-bolt clamps when he gets them in.

Nice looking Fit. I like those wheels on your car.

I like it. Don't see white in an engine bay too often.

Id like to see it in 6 months. Will be looking like the rest of that filthy engine bay. I dont see the advantage on this car of it being solid.

Engine bay is going to require more upkeep now for sure.

Not that difficult to wipe down a few pipes and a can...

Exactly! But like I said it will require more upkeep. I just like the way it looks, just something different than the norm or stock.

I am currently searching for a set of wheels for it now.

I might get some white wheels, or powdercoat the wheels I get white. But do have a set in mind that I wouldn't mind trying out.

My CEL came on, I know its cause of my MAF sensor for my intake. My intake is made with 2.5" tubing, which will cause my CEL to go off. I am going to have to do something about it. I was reading some of your comments in the thread about intakes.

I live in Festus, south of St. Louis. There are not many Fits around the STL area. But there are a few.

How much does it usually cost to powdercoat a set of wheels. Thinking of what my car black fit would look like with blue rims.

Depends on the shop. I've had wheels done by a guy here in Atlanta for $250.

It cost me around $60 per wheel. But its a very good job, very thorough prep job and very good powdercoater as well.

Minor update. Was having a problem with my intake and the MAF sensor not reading right, so I just decided to go with out the intake I had made. Which is ok, cause I plan to sell the Fit off in a couple of months. But in the mean time, I decided to get some wheels for it.

Small update again. Had some time today to get the wheels and tires on the car. They are Kosei K1, 15x7", +25 offset. The tires are Falken Azenis. The lug nuts are Muteki, wasn't sure which lug nuts I wanted so I just got these for now, they look nice though. I am only dropped on springs for now, I just bought some coilovers, they should be here this week hopefully!

Here are the pictures.
