The name is Jay. My Fit and I reside in Memphis, Tennessee, USA, home of dead Elvis!

I love my Fit. Once I saw it, I knew I had to have one. This to me is what the Civic Hatch should be now.

This is what I traded in for the Fit:




Here is my Fit after tint.



And here it is with new shoes.




No other mods as of yet. I am putting together the ICE system that will be going in. And I am putting together my list of mods I will do when I get my Jackson Racing Rotrex 10psi kit.

the honda fit is so much fun to drive...i feel like i'm 18 again i have a fujita sri, eibach pro kits, bridgestone re750's and a custom dual exhaust with no mufflers.

the thing i like the most about my fit is just driving it. it makes all the right sounds 5-spd stick and handles great !

Who cares, some people want to show what they moved on from. This Contest asks for a creative way to post. Granted it may not be the most creative thing but o well.

Well, bought my VBP sport (auto) on Jan 20th of 07. Car was used, 4600 miles on the odo. It now its getting close to 18k miles and still strong. She's bone stock, only "mod" i've done is buying a car cover from one of the vendors. I bought her to replace my 92 dakota on my 100mi+ daily commute (thats both ways).

Im in the great state of Washington, living in the town of Tacoma. First shot is of my accident I had involving a 01 Lincoln. Needless to say, the body did her right.

Sorry for the low quality shots, most were taken from my cell phone. The rest are borrowed with permission from the original owners.

There isnt alot of good shots of the fit on the run because the guy with a good camera was in front of me, while I was on his bumper. Needless to say, I gave the cars and bikes (yes, bikes) a serious run for their money. Cars were supras ranging from 1982-1989 a few of them turbo'd and maybe 1 or 2 were stock.

Enjoy the shots.

here is my customization of the front fender:


here she is in the parking lot at my work, body shop did a decent job:




Here she is at a stop on a fun run that I went on:




on the run:


Second stop, leader blew a bearing, end of the run for me, took the leader home:


more shots of the second stop, all the vehicles on the run:




this one was for kicks since it was an all toyota supra meet and I didnt even show in a toyota!


hanging at a light:

Exclamation I got a Fit Because....

I own a Honda Fit Sport A/T, I bought it because the Toyota salesman made a huge mistake. I am a big driver at 6'4 210 pounds but was looking for something small that would go with my business and fit the car racing theme of my logo. The obvious choice seemed a Toyota Yaris, Matrix or Scion. Out of the 3 the Scion won over, it had the looks, it had the easy mods and it had the MPG. But I felt like a sardine in a can, while debating it the salesperson said it compared to a Honda Fit. I said "what is a Honda Fit?" so I ran over to the Honda dealership and saw the only one on the lot. A blue Fit, and I said "That's the Car!"


Well I love it, nothing but pleasure to drive, the car design fit it perfectly.

I managed to make it look like a rally car while still keeping a corporate appeal for my customers.


I get great mileage, and I must admit without any mods (yet) I managed to out handle a Nissan Altima on route 8 (a road with lots of tight S turns), beating my LT. from my National Guard unit to our final destination.

My clients love it, I love it, and the best thing is that it Fits my frame and up to 5 PCs comfortably. It let's me do my job while turning heads on the road.

I have future plans to change the exhaust, air intake and suspension as well as adding the JDM center console that has an armrest as well as the JDM sun visor for the right side of the vehicle (The wife has been nagging for a mirror on her side).

My Fit is in Connecticut, USA
Current mods :
  • Custom Graphics
  • Blue Interior kit
  • Blue Steering wheel
  • Blue Shift knob
Future Mods :
  • JDM Honda interior door handles
  • JDM Honda Center Console
  • JDM Honda Roof Console
  • T1R B-Max Carbon Intake
  • T1R 50S Sport Exhaust System

My list of modifications are:
ARC Shift Knob
JDM Window visors
JDM Coin Holder
Broadway 270mm mirror
Skunk 2 Lowering springs
Skunk 2 Cat Back Exhaust
Polarg Yellow fog light bulbs
H4 Dual HID Kit from Vision X 8k
SSR competition Wheels 16x7.5
205/40/16 Wynstar Tires
JDM Rear FIT emblem with red dot
N1 Concepts tail light from aallbbert JDM style

My list of future modifications:

I choose the fit because I wanted a stylish and reliable car. I just wanted to have that new car smell...and also my co-worker (GOLOF) just got his back from greddy and he has the first greddy turbo gd3 in the states!

I like everything about the Honda FIT. It brings style, reliability, and comfort at the same time. I enjoy the 38 mpg especially the way the gas prices are in San Diego. $3.50 is the cheapest around and thats for 87.

BTW im from Pann Auto in San Diego, CA.

i think that people use the cars they used to have as a backround story to show what they came from...like me. It may not be creative but it shows a sense of history... thats just my $.02.

Hello,
This is me and my Fit. We live in Washington state. My wife and I haven't done much to the Fit yet, we just picked it up about a month ago. So far we have:
Tanabe DF210's
Mugen MR5's
Spoon Shift Knob
Mugen Sock
and would love to add a set of A-Spec bars to our Fit.

Reviewing the thread there are several members who already have a set of bars. Myself and a few others have not yet been able to pick out a set yet.
We purchased our Fit because we are trying to have our first baby.....and a car seat will not fit in a RHD Crx SiR very well or her 00 Celica GT. So ever since we got word the Fit would be released in the U.S we started our search.
Our favorite thing about our Fit has to be the "Magic Seats" We took it to the drive in to see Spider man and put the car in "Refresh Mode" and it was totally awesome!!!!!
Hope every enjoys the pics.
90 RHD Crx SiR Glass top:


07 VBP Fit Sport MT

MMMMMM The great taste of fresh Honda Oil!!!!!!!!

Tint is darkest in the rear hartch, rear quarters and rear doors. The drivers and passengers are legal.

Thanks for the comment about the rims! They do look sharpe! Too bad we can't always keep our fits this clean!

Smile Honda Jazz vs History.........!

...Hello to everybody around the world. My name is Billy and I am from Athens the capital of Greece. I own my Jazz CVT for 3 years now and I have almost 50.000km…I do not have any modifications on my Jazz and the reason is that here in Greece we can not find any mugen-jdm or spoon accessories even shops that sells them.
The models that we have here are only 1.2 and 1.4. (The price for the 1.4 is 17.500 Euros or 23.700 US Dollars)…yes it is a very expensive car here in Greece that is why we do not have the 1.5v-tec. Can you imagine the price for the 1.5v-tec ?....The reason that I bought the Honda Jazz is because it is CVT therefore my parents can drive it easily without changing gears and because we always had a Honda Car in our Family…It is very reliable-very economic with the gas-and of course with a lot of space inside where you can move whatever you imagine.!
I am sorry that I do not have any pictures about modifications but I believe honorably mention to the history sometimes is more respectfulness…
