Ottawa Fit People?

Hey all,

I live in the Ottawa area, and I have been seeing tons of Fits around.. Just wondering if there are any clubs or meets for Fit Owners in the Ottawa area.

Thanks alot!

One here!

Sadly, I don't check the Canadian forums often. I suspect most of the people I see behind the wheels of Fits bought it because it was a nice, economical car, not because they are excited over it like we are.

I myself wouldn't mind some sort of meet, but I've just got a basic LX trim... no mods, nothing, and I'm not exactly a car enthusiast so I've not been keeping her clean.

I am right there with you man. I have a LX aswell, no mods or anything.. I am a student, so i dont have the money to mod, I want to get alloy's and tint as soon as possibe, but that might not be for a year or so lol.

Where are you located in Ottawa, you can PM me if you want.

What model of Fit did you get? the Base, LX or Sport? And what colour is it?

I wish i could, but there was too many trucks in front of me to find who it was...and I dont think ull stop on the 40 highway in montreal to get the board as evidence. But I still take the exit right after to check if I had any leaks but it looks like its only the bumper...but I have to check if the supports are damaged too!

Nice profile pic! I'm trying to figure out where in the Ottawa area you took it, but I'm coming up blank.

Do you live on the Quebec side (no plate on the front)?

Ah, I see. I was going to ask whether you lived on the Quebec side since you didn't have a front license plate.

I also suppose there's no point asking you where in Ottawa you got your windows tinted

Hey I was wondering what any of you are doing for rust prevention.
I was thinking of coating my wheel wells with some rubber spray stuff...
Another member did this ( https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...t=rubber+spray ) it looks good.

I've also heard of getting the underneath of the car sprayed with some anti rust product (Krown).
Has anyone had this done?

I'm around all over the place but since its winter I only go out if I have too but when summer rolls around I'm out all the time. I'm mostly around Marivale Rd area and the main streets around there.

Just look for the yellow fog lights at night. Thats when everyone knows its me driving around
