Picked up a 07 fit sport for 3,800usd with 98k Miles! Has minor hood and bumper damage. But other than that it's cherry and a M/T. So far I've changed the coolant, oil, engine and cabin filter. Bought some spark plugs (ngk out of the owners manual). I'm going to adjust the valves, z, change the trans fluid, and change plugs sometime very soon here. I was a mechanic for Subaru for almost 5 years and I miss working on cars so I can't wait to start this. Plus my 2016 silverado kills me on gas so this is a fun money saver. Anyways... what else should I do or check out since I'm new to the fit scene but not new to working on cars. Thanks! I'll try to post pictures soon but I don't have a camera other than my iPhone. Boo hoo.

One more thing.. these cars are a pain in the a** to jack up I'll have to get a low profile jack soon. What I had to do was scissor jack both front pinch welds to lift the car up high enough to fit my giant jack underneath the front jacking point in the middle to lift it high enough for my jack stands to fit.

 

you can go to harbor freight and pickup a low profile aluminum hydraulic for like $80.

kinda like this one:

i have 2 of them in my garage.

for most maintenance work i just use my RaceRamps.

 

If you just need a couple of inches, you could always drive over a 2x4 so you can get your jack underneath it.

 

yeah I think I'm going to have to snag a low profile jack
