Howdy folks! I've owned a 2007 MT Fit for about a year now. I was drawn to it for the combination of cargo space and fuel economy. I've done a few DIY repairs and modifications already, and I have more planned that I would like to share, mostly around increasing net cargo capacity, increasing fuel economy, and keeping costs down.

 

Hi I'm new too. not a lot of activity going on in here but anyways what diy have you done?

 

The frame was rusted out on the rear drivers side behind the suspension mount. I welded in replacement metal. Also replaced the rear bumper reinforcement and the front suspension dampers. The rust has not been kind to this car, so there was a lot of drilling and cutting, and a little fabrication and fastener replacement. I'm currently working on weight reduction.

 

At least Pittsburgh has some nice twisty roads to enjoy driving your Fit on.

 

Yeah. I drive like a grandma though haha

 

Lol. Fair enough. Years ago, I thought about moving over there. Maybe when I retire.

 

Hi! I'm just seeing your post for the first time today (7/15/2023) and wanted to say hello. I also live in Pittsburgh (Robinson area) and own a 2008 Fit Sport AT. I'd love to meet fellow Fit enthusiasts and share knowledge. Feel free to reach out if you like.
