Hey Guys!

Well, a little over a month ago I purchased a 2010 Fit Sport in the orange revolution metallic. I really havent done anything to it yet except for window tinting and HID's, and I also got a LED underbody light kit, which to me is kinda ricey of me to get but it was free so who couldnt refuse the offer? But yeah, well here I am then. I plan on doing some engine modifications soon, I just dont know what to do first

BTW I am 17 and a total newb to all of this kind of stuff so please forgive me if i sound like an idiot haha

Welcome to the forum. Like you, I also got my Fit quite young (16 infact) and don't worry about being a newb. We were all newbs once as well.

My advice, before you start really getting into modding the car performance wise drive it around for a bit in (or near) stock spec and keep the factory part that is being replaced. Take note of what you really want out of the car like whether you want a stiffer performance minded suspension or softer more comfortable suspension, whether you want a throaty performance catback exhaust or simple mild axle back, and etc.

In other words, do a little homework before you decide to pull the trigger for a part. That way, you will more than likely be satisfied with the item(s) you'll be getting. Again, welcome to the forum and happy modding.

as far as engine mods intakes dont do much but add some growl, but the GE for some reason sounds like a corolla so i think i would start there.

the GD sounds pretty good with no mods actually. i had an intake and exhaust on mine but i removed them and haven't been happier with stock. ofcourse my suspension and some of the interior bits are modded to my flavor.
