howdy

welp, getting ready to go shop for a new fit tomorrow. ive had a bunch of cars, this will be my first honda figured i'd see what all they hype is about. Started with a 3000gt sl, then a camaro z28, then a hyundai tiburon (which i eventually supercharged), now i have an 08 350z...i know going from a Z to a fit sounds crazy but i'm tired of being in a car everyone knows is fast...i miss that feeling i had in my tibby when i'd walk trans ams.

I've got a bunch of turbo parts leftover from a dsm project i had and im really handy so i'm sure i'll make something work. The 14b should be a good size for the 1.5l, i've been researching quite a bit. I really want to get out of the z scene though, they are pretty much a bunch of tools that are cocky as all get out but can't even work on their own cars, they pretty much all have shops work on them...

WELL anyway wish me luck tomorrow, hopefully i can find a good deal, it'll be a day long project, but I'm hoping to get one by saturday at the latest.

yea im lookin at 09's taffeta white and im still split between the sport and the base...I really like the front end of the sport but it seems a waste considering I plan on getting a spoon spoiler anyway so im payin a premium for nothing much else besides a sportier front which i'll probably get bored with eventually anyway and change...

Congrads on your 07 Fit - I own a 2007 and really love the way it looks although the 2009's are nice too. Post up some pictures when you get a chance.

YEAH!!!! Is it a Sport or Base?? I definetely enjoy the body style of the 07 or 08.....cant get used to the 09.....although I heard that the blind spot is not so bad with the 09.....

Congrats=
