Hello Socal, new Fit owner

Hey I just picked up a fit last Saturday, so far the car has been pretty cool. The engine seemed to respond a little better after a few hundred miles on it. The thing I'm enjoying most is the 32mpg and$30 fill ups vs $60 in my previous few cars. I have some plans for the car, not sure exactly what but definitely wheels and suspension. I have ADD when it comes to cars so I ended up leasing the Fit for the $190/month deal from Honda, I'm at car number 16 or 17 so we'll see if i keep this car after the lease is up.

Its a stock Fit so not much to see




Current cars in my garage is my Turbo miata thats for track only



And a 530 that I may or may not keep, I havent decided yet


Some of my previous cars were:

350Z



E430



S2k



A4

is your E39 stick? if so, my cousin had a steel blue 530 sport too! Threw on an eisenmann exhaust, focal stereo, and it was hit. Then he got the 540 M aero kit, and it was rear ended and totalled

btw, how do you like the miata? I actually want to get one to learn on the track as well

Yup the E39 is a stick. I had Focal speakers on my 350Z too, 3-way Focal Utopias.

Love my miata, light , nimble and cheap. Of all the cars I've owned my miatas are the most fun to drive.

Love e39s. Would be a tough one to let go of I'm sure. There still isn't much from that era that stacks up, and even nowadays, when I see a clean one, I think it's pure class. That's the best one too. More reliable than the 540i and M5.

yeah my mom has a 330i sport, told her to get a 530 and she said it was for old people -_- no!

The only thing i don't like about the 530 is there is no factory option to get a body kit like the 540!

Why the fit? One thing that got my attention was the $190/month lease deal from honda, it was a hell of a deal. I've always liked modded fits, I figure I can get one as a daily driver something to tinker with while i have a fun car for weekends. The BMW is goddamn unreliable so I definitely needed something more reliable, and I could sell the 530 for something impractical since i have the fit now.


As for parts, I always need parts...what do you have?
