Quick intro

Hi everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself here. Just got my fit a few days ago. I didn't want to re register my other car so I thought, why not save gas and just get a new car.
After having looked around in a day, I got it at Hamer Honda. Will only be doing a few mods, or so I tell myself, to make it a little bit more appealing. Went with the sport since it already has a kit, wheels, orange stitching, and an exposed exhaust tip.

2018 Honda Fit Sport
Modern Steel Metallic
6 speed juan manual

Already changed out the shift knob and did interior lighting to white LED. Licences plate lights have also been replaced.

Sport trim level always looks great.

I am a firm believer in 25mm spacers in the rear if you plan to keep the OEM wheels. It makes the car look sooo much better moving the rear wheels out an inch. Check my build thread or the appearance sub form where i posted before and after pics. Best mod for the fit @ $125.

I think I got a set lying around, but might end up getting a set of wheels. I haven't decided yet lol.

In case anyone has questions regarding trim levels hmu, i used to work for Honda as a salesman .

Here's the car that will be sitting as I part out

😂😂😂 yeah, illegal smog+reg+fixing worn parts= a few payments. Plus i got tired of knowing i will get pulled over the moment i see chp. If i could, I would have gone with lunar silver. I like lunar silver way more than this lol. I just went with this color since the dealership was willing to do my deal.

After working for Honda I understand why it doesn't have push to start. It already comes kitted, w black wheels, exposed tail pipe. One trim level above it doesn't come kitted, have special wheels, or have an exposed tail pipe. The ex interior also doesn't have the orange stitching. Not everyone wants push to start, honda sensing, or a sun roof.

It's that bang for buck trim. Aesthetically cooler, but missing some luxury features. Just like the Accord sport being a bang for buck trim. The accord sport has push to start, but no remote start or sun roof. The sport also has 19" alloy wheels where the accord ex wheels are boring and smaller.

I've been wanting the sport ever since it came out. When the 18's came with the volume knob, I knew I had to eventually make a move. Here I am now, doing little things here and there 😂

My friend was bothered by the gap in the shift boot, so I fixed it w 2 zipties
got some really bright reverse LEDs pure white
also trying to find an exhaust to add some sound.

I should've taken a picture, but I also cut the whole bottom portion of the air intake box and took out the resonator under the battery. Makes a nice sound. I figured, if the AEM intake is just a pipe with a cone filter in the same area then cutting the air box shouldn't be bad. Now, it has a nice rumbling at 3k rpm and up

lol, hella cheaper. I'm sure the sumole performs "better", but how much cold air can you force into the intake 🙃

oil catch can isn't baffled. After seeing reviews on youtube it seems to perform just fine. If I see that oil is still seeping thru, I'll baffle it myself.

yeah, I'll figure something out.

before anyone says, I know it's very dumb to have it sideways especially when the inlet is now on the side vs the top

to those people I say .... its still better than having nothing. but it does mean, you'll have to empty it out sooner than later. for my next oil catch can install, I'm thinkin about one of these:






for those who dont know what an oil catch can does .... in my other car, this is what happens when you dont run an oil catch can .... oil collects in the intake mani

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ct-...l#post10172761



after just 500 ish miles of driving, this is what is caught inside the can, and most importantly NOT dumped inside the intake mani:
