Hello. I'm new

Hello everyone. My name is Ryan. I'm from Wisconsin. I just signed the papers for an 08 nighthawk black 5sp fit sport. Just signed up here in case I have any questions about things. I'm not looking to mod it much, if at all since I have other cars that require my attention. The fit is just going to be my daily for the most part.

here is a lame dealer photo since I didn't think to take any myself when I was there yesterday.

I always wanted a GD Fit. Three vehicles I would like to own a GD Fit, AE86 Corolla and a 1st gen CR-V. Welcome to the forum.

thank you for the welcome, and the compliments. I loved my CRV, I think the fit will be a suitable replacement though. It goes without saying that the corolla is my pride and joy. I pump more money into that corpse than I'd care to admit.

I have a 95 Miata cheap to buy. But you can spend alot for aftermarket parts. I have spent more money in parts then the car cost me. Taking it to the Dragon's Tail this week.

The first new car I brought was a 85 Celica RWD I went to pick up my car I remeber seeing a AE86 and MR-2 first year production on the showroom. Back when Toyota was building sports cars.

so what do you guys recommend for some daily driver mods for this thing?

already picked up some upgraded headlight bulbs, good wipers, and a K&N drop-in.

I also have mugen visors on my to-do list.

What else can I do to make this thing a better daily? a friend of mine suggested a zeta dead pedal.

not looking to turn this thing into a project, but i'd be lying to myself if I said I wasn't going to do anything to it.

Thanks!

The corolla is my baby. Its actually currently undergoing a full "ground-up" rebuild since I got too tired of chasing ghosts in the wiring and things like that.

so its finally getting caged, stitch welded, full chassis rewire, Some bodywork things done like replacing a botched quarter panel and welding in a sunroof delete, and some other needed stuff.

so right now it kinda looks funny. Heres a more recent photo.
