Long story short,I drive alot (25k+/year) and I DD a 2000 Silverstone S2000. Ive always been somewhat curious about the Fit but never test drove one or even been inside one. Saw about a million Fits at the FHC meet this weekend in Orlando and was pretty impressed.Well I test drove one today and if all goes as planned ill be picking up my NBP manual Fit sport on Thursday.

So yeah you Florida guys have meets every once in a while?

Heres what im trading in for my 2008 Fit
As far as mods I have...
Rota Slipstreams 16x7 +48 16x8 +40
70mm Single non resonated exhaust
DC sports header
ACT street disc and HD pressure plate
Toda flywheel
Tien springs
C-West front lip
APR mirrors







Wish me luck on Thursday!

 

sweet another FL fit.

 

Arent you in the Panducky crew? Hahha, John went from a Fit to a S2K.
Youre doing the opposite.

Im sure you remember my Fit if you saw the Fit train. We dont really have meets often as everyones scattered all over. Anytime theres a car show/meet I try to get as many Fits as possible to attend.
Usually the turn out is great.

Itll be nice to have another Fit in the area.

 

how much are they giving you trade in?

 

pepperinyoureyes- what mods are you planning on the Fit?


im interested in this thread cause im in the market to possibly get a
new S2000 as one of my weekend cars.

 

sick s2000 bud
i went the same route
had a berlina ap1 w/ invidia headerback



You will miss the S2k...i do everyday

-Ricky

 

haha yeah i know im gonna miss it,but I do have another "go fast" car at home,gutted 1990 S13 hatch with a SR20DET


With the Fit I pretty much just keeping it a good gas mileage DD/auto X car,suspension mods,wheels,and maybe a few other bolt ons.I really like that ings rear bumper too.
The dealer is giving me 8grand for my S but its understandable being the mileage and condition the car is in. See thats the thing,the S is a great WEEKEND CAR but as a DD driving 25k+/year it is just not working out.

 

yah, i can see that. it's good to hear that it's not practical because i
dont really want a practical car as a fun car. 2 doors, 2 seats(better),
and fun to drive is what im after.

BestMotoring continues to claim the S2000 as one of the best
fun cars on the road (kakeyoro ranking). ap1, ap2, and then the
CPV35 (G35Coupe).

so i want the top 2 cars.

hope you enjoy the FitSport.

 

Another weekend car!?! Niccee!

Welcome to FitFreak man!

do it.
you can pick up an ap1 00-03 around 12-15k with decent miles
wish i had the capability to own a second car or i would've done this already.

**** that. sry for language. ill give you 9 right effin now! hell ill even come pick it up!

 

hey good luck man. im a newb here as well coming from ephatch.com/crsx.com ur gonna like the fit esp. the MPG! ftw

 

Just got home,heres one quick picture...soooo excited!

 

Ive seen 2 different sizes on the fender trim. Thin and larger ones.
I actually want some for my Fit. Itll hide my F-worded fenders.

Looks.... well stock. Enjoy the slowness.

 

did you keep the slipstreams?
those would look great on your NHBP

 

Nah,I couldnt use them anyways due to the 5 lug pattern and the fact that theyre staggered 16x7 in the front and 16x8 in the rear

 

Anythings possible.... The 5lug part would stop you. I ran 4 to 5lug adapters but the offset would be extreme with the added offset from the adapters.

Ive ran countless number of offsets and wheels. Ranging from +0 to +55 (eww, OEM)
With the adapters, the front offset on the slips would equal out to a rough +10mm and the rear would be around +0.

 

Oh and I never mentioned that I hate the look of slipstreams on a Fit

 

I didnt say you did, if thats what youre trying to say.

 

Nope just making a comment lol
