Tech from Columbus Ohio

Hey, thought I would say hello and introduce myself. I have been a member for awhile, but havent really made a ton of posts yet. I have a fit that I love, have wanted one since before they were in the states. I pretty much love the car.

Im the shop manager, mechanic and fabricator at a performance shop in Columbus. We specialize in japanese performance cars, our bread and butter, however is Honda. We do all of our fabrication in-house, which includes, but is not limited to intercooler piping, turbo kits, and turbo manifolds. We do engine building and everything in between.

This isnt a shameless plug for our shop, just wanted you to know my background a little bit. I have been planning to make a few things for the fit, but it always seems my time at work is enough car time for me in any given week. I offer my knowledge to the forum of anyone needs any help, ill try my best.

We were playing with the idea of coming out with a turbo kit for the fit, we work pretty closely with the nice people at Hondata, so I think it could work out well, but I'd have to gauge interest in something like that. There are already a lot of kits out there.

I feel like im kind of rambling on, but its nice to meet everyone here, I hope to be on the forum a lot more....

Can you let me know the name of your shop. I live in the Westerville area and own 2 Hondas. I have a 2007 Fit Sport which I would like to upgrade the suspension, but im not sure how much of an upgrade I need. At the moment, im also running wheels with a bigger offset which run fine and I get to use wider tires (tires dont stick out, still looks clean). But at times when I hit a bump I experience rubbing slightly. I like the wheels I have and want to keep them, I actually downsized wheel to a 14 as I prefer more rubber than wheel. Let me know name of shop if possible. I dont have alot of funds but would like to know my options and negotiate. Thanks
