I have been a long time lurker, but I finally got entry into the Fit club by purchasing a 2008 Tidewater Blue Fit Sport MT this past Saturday.

I have about 64 miles on it so far. The parking lots are a lot more fun in the Fit! The handling is a blast.

The K&N filter was ordered yesterday, and I am considering both coil overs and some flat black 15X6.5 Rota Slipstreams.

I would like to try my new Fit in autox here in IL. Anyone have any knowledge on autox in the Chicago area?

 

Congratz on the new Fit, you got an awesome color, one of my favs!
Welcome to FitFreak!

well i have no idea aboout autox around here but there will definitely be more meets when the nice weather returns.

welcome and congrats!!! good to see more IL people on here lately

 

congrats on your car. no idea on autocross, but if you're looking for wheels, check out my buddy Mark's shop one 6 motorsports / import and domestic tuning.

Arlington hts, IL they can mount tires on the spot and they usually
have several sets of wheels/tires there.

 

I am a secrete Tidewater fan....um....well not anymore! I came out of the hatch now! HAHAaahaaa

Go slipstreams!
It should rock in auto-x... (who cares if it doesnt though...as it feels like it does in parking lots!

 

thanks everybody. Looking forward to having a fun car that I can afford to drive!

Let me know if anyone is up for a group drive or something (when it gets a bit nicer)

 

Oh snap! Welcome man...hit me up with your email addy so I can put you on the list for the next meet once the snow clears up. Check out WINDY CITY MIATA CLUB for AutoX. I am planning to go as soon as it is starts up again.

 

congratz on the new FiT

 

hell yes another chicago fitfreak! if i may ask where did you buy it at? where you located?

 

I bought the Fit at Muller in Highland Park.
I live in Lake Forest.
It is a small world, I used to live in Glenview.

 

Welcome and congrads on your new Fit - I got to see a Tidewater Blue Fit in person and that color is so pretty especially at night. It just seems to reflect all the lights!

Cat :x

 

hellz ya! Fit sportz in illinois (chicagoland area) rock.

 

hey, me too. just picked ours up on Sat. SSM sport. i'll post some pics as soon as it's not cloudy/snowy.

 

Man, you IL guys wanna do a quick meet? PM me and I'll see if there is interest or not. The parking garage at the Glen is perfect for a photoshoot and the cops don't seem to mind.

 

It is indeed, my parents moved to CT from Illinois/Indiana so all my family is all out in the midwest. I actually have an aunt who lives in Lake Forest. The rest of my dad's family lives in Kankakee/Bourbonais and St. Anne.

We frequent out there many times a year but I'm not too sure if my Fit will ever make it out there.

 

Congrats on the new ride, these things are a blast!

 

Grats on the new ride. TW Blue, havent been able to see it in person so, grats for having a rare color too

 

hey where is everyone located in IL?

 

i'm near gurnee, i work in kenosha though so i'm between the two quite a bit.

 

I'm in chicago, next to Harlrm-Irving plaza (crowdy place) and almost every day at romeoville at Lewis campus about 45 miles SW of Chicago. Every day 90 miles 5 days a week. Fit rocks
