My New Fit!!!!

Well I took the plunge and traded my 06 Si in for a MR Fit Sport. I gotta say, I am really enjoying it! At first I was worried about not liking how slow it is, but it really is a fun car to drive. Here is a couple pics I snapped of her in stock form, hopefully she'll be getting some upgrades here in the near future.

Another 8thgen Civic trade-in? Seems the Fit has more appeal than I thought.

Is it AT or MT? And what plans do you have for it as far as upgrades go?

Yeah 91 Octane+Si Car payment= Own me!!! LOL

Its a manual tranny, I cannot bring my self to drive auto. I have to feel some "sportyness" ;-)

My girl and I are getting married so it was time to cut back on some things so I asked myself what car would be cheaper, but fun THE FIT!!!!!

My plans as of now are to get some interior goodies like the Mugen boot and e brake cover, Aluminum Shift knob, definetly need a dead pedal, maybe the interior trim, and "race" pedals with rubber grips.

As far as performance I think I am going with Stock exhuast with HFP muffler, the mishimoto or T1R intake, and a T1R header just to get a little more boogie.

Maybe down the line a drop and some wheels, but not a priority for me right now.

LOL As a matter of fact, I am 6'5. I have more head room in the fit than I did in my Si. I have slightly less leg room though, almost feels like my Integra. Not having a dead pedal is the only thing that makes me feel uncomfortable. Its like my left foot doesn't know what to do when I am not hitting the clutch. other than that I fit in the Fit ;-)
