Alright, here's my list:

> Drive the Fit for a couple of years stock and get the most out of the warrantee.

>> Then get the K20A2 or K24 motor and swap it.
>> Get a full or partial disc brake conversion (full w/ booster & master cylinder) depending on what bolts onto the car.

>> Get the JDM rear tails, front lights, and rims.

>> Take it to the track and rip some eg and ek owners new assholes with style.

hehe.

Cayuga should be fun

Me,me,me I said it first on page 3. I think!!!!! I've learned in the past and from stories that once you take pride and joy in a car; not only do you notice it, but others do to and like to maliciously damage or take away the goods. I'm one of those **** people who park out of harms way when I go to the malls to avoid door dings which cannot be stopped with a deterrant system either. And for Cdn winters a pre-warmed car is appreciated.. although I may opt to use a engine block heater also.

plans for my jazz...

Handling:
suspensions (hks or tein)
brakes upgrade (EK4)
bars, lots of bars (j's racing doesn't look too bad at all)
mags with good rubber (street use)
light weight mags with semi slicks (race use)

Drivetrain:
LSD
shortshifter?

Performance:
turbo
exhaust

Cosmetic:
bodykit (or lip kit)
spoiler
projector headlights (maybe)
05 jdm tail lights
mugen ventilisers (spelling?) (genuine or copied)
muge carbon bonnet
short antenna
rear wiper removed

ICE:
aftermarket speakers (max i'll go)
(ICE makes car heavy)

Other minor bits and bobs:

gauges
apexi i-moni
peddles or peddles covers
gearknob

other things to look at doing after turbo'd:
if gearbox wont hold, will look to forge it. if not, then see if any aftermarket company will make things for performance, or even better, for forced induction.

I find out that luck has it that I commonly get SUV-ish dings; above the side moldings and along panel seams. Must be Murphy's law. I will invest in those as well for the common ass that parks beside me.

I would do:

I'd get the Standard Fit in either: White or silver
Home made intake
springs (1.5"-2")
shocks (GR2, AGX, if they make them)
15x6.5 wheels (Rota: C8, C10, or Subzero: bronze, black, white or gold)
205/50/15 F RT-615
195/50/15 R RT-615
Short Shifter (if it needs it, most stock cars do)
Header
High flow cat (not sure what size people are doing 2"-2.25"?)
Catback with a turbo muffler (cheap from autozone-$30)
Darkest legal tint
Rear and front strut bar, rear sway bar (if it needs it)

I'd like to do track days at the new Miller Motorsports Park in Utah!!!

Then, just drive it to work and back. I'd try and break 40 mpg, like I did in my '95 Civic EX (was only supposed to get 29/35, but with just an intake, I got 40.0x mpg one time, lots of 38 and 39 mpg tanks) Fold the seats down and take my r/c airplane to the flying field.

Engine:

Cool

I'm getting a Bad-ASS Coffee Mug with a Skull on it that fits nice-and-snug in the Fit's cup holders!

I also plan on putting Decaffeinated Coffee in that mug also... Yeah!

I'm just gonna drive mine for a few months, fall classes are coming up, so I'm gonna be tight on cash for mods till the summer, likely. But then, I plan on getting:

cold air or short ram intake
front strut tower bar
a quiet exhaust
and some JDM LED taillights, they are so much classier looking that the cheap plastic looking USDM ones

Starting out with the VBP sport A/t with 16 HFP rims, interior trim kit, cargo net and tray, all season floor mats.

After it's broken in i'll add a short ram intake (probably from Injen - i like the sound on my E) and a sport exhaust (either J's racing or DC sports when they come out). Then some EuroDezigns blue headlights and fogs.

I'll paint the intake cover blue and the rear drums. Some blue wipers.

I'd really like to get a hold of the Mugen headers but i can't find anywhere to order from NA. I wonder if they would work with the NA model and if it would pass emissions.

Never been a car person until the Fit, so my plans are few and slow.

I just ordered the leather shifter for my AT Fit.

Looking for a nice simple license plate frame now, I don't like advertising for dealerships.

For starters I am going to acquire all the accesories for the Sport.
While researching I noticed the price difference between dealer installs and D.I.Y. I think I can handle 2 screws without shelling out an extra $20.

After that, I'd like to see what others are doing, like I said, not realy a car person so I don't know what half the options are. All I know is I love this car.

Shortly after it arrives:

-Tint
-Summer wheels + tires/snow tires for the stockers
-Better speakers/amp/sub setup, my old car has a nice system and it's going to be a rough transition to the stock stereo

Sometime:

-Better headlights, maybe if some company makes projector headlights to go with HIDs I'll get them, but sticking HIDs in stock reflector housings is generally a bad idea
-Suspension maybe
-Maybe an intake or exhaust, provided it doesn't kill MPG or waste money

Several years from now once it's paid off and I'm insane:

-TURBO (boostu)
