New Fit Owner from DE 09 Sport 5 Speed

Hello, new Fit owner long time Honda enthusiast. I have been wanting a Fit for while and my 01 civic was starting to give me some issues (200k miles). I wasn't planning on buying a Fit yet but I came across the exact one that I had been wanting and it was a 1 owner clean carfax so I had to jump on it. I did have to drive 2.5 hours into NJ to get it but it was worth it.

I am going to start off with lowering the Fit on Coilovers probably Tein Street Advance and then maybe do a strut tower and rear lower sway bar. I have a set of HFP SS7's that will be going onto the fit from my Civic.

My 01 Civic. My plans are either turbo or K swap for this. Lowered on KW V2's.

Thank you. The Nav does clean the dash up a little IMO. Had trouble finding a 5 speed. You look on a used car website and there are 20 within your area but as soon as you change transmission type to manual there are like 3.

I have put different wheels on it:

Nice find! My wife wanted us to get a red one but all the ones we found weren't very nice. She wants me to repaint ours red...

Thanks. Lol, yea painting it is an option technically but it's expensive and a pain.

Got the coilovers on today. They still need some adjusting.
