Here's what I came up with. I'm not trying to be super-speed-racer-boy or anything, but I want a comfortable, enjoyable ride and not be a complete ricer/poser. Please feel free to post your future mods in a likewise fashion and add on/replace/delete/critique peoples' tastes Boy is it going to take me a long time to afford this ~$10,000 dream...I want all of this in it before my car hits 10k miles. Right now I'm sitting in the 600s

3) Honda keyless entry (I have a base model, this i will add next)
4) Rear bumper applique
5) Maybe some 15" alloys somewhere down the road.
6) Maybe a drop-in air filter. Probably won't waste the $ on it though
7) Umm.. I'm really pretty happy with the car. Can't think of anything else.
8) OK, satellite radio would be nice but I can't really justify the subscription since I spend maybe 2 hours a week in my car (I live like 2 miles from work!)

 

i 2nd the LS7 swap... but i think we will have to convert the Fit to a mid engine RWD beast for that, maybe then add the Lingenfelter turbo kit... 1000 hp Fit any one?

I've already got my rear disc brakes now I'm working on getting va 7 speed CVt transmission.
Them cosmetic things I don't care about and I don't need dropping.\In short, I want to be fast, not look fast.

 

Um..How do rear disc brakes and a 7 speed CVT make your car faster?

Not trying to give you a hard time, it just seems like a lot of money to spend on a $15k car. You could throw every header, intake, exhaust and overpriced JDM part they make short of a turbocharger at a Fit and it is still going to be slower than the average V6 minivan or family sedan.

It seems like the fun of these cars is that they are practical/versatile and have great handling out of the box. Just MHO. If you want a fast car why would you buy a Fit?

 

"I want a comfortable, enjoyable ride"


um, but the time you've done spending all that money, you could probably
just get a new TSX or something nicer and a comfy enjoyable ride...(?)

 

I wish for world peace.

If I can't have that...maybe a larger house garage so I can buy another car. Most probably an Ariel Atom or something, or a Spec Miata for messing around on the track while on a budget.

 

Yeah but the TSX isn't as appealing to me as a Fit! Nor is it as roomy! Nor does it get better mpg! I'd rather spend $5-10 grand on the Fit than get a $23-28,000 car. I'm just LIKE that. I remember spending $3,000 on my old del sol and putting $5,000 into it. I root for underdogs, even if it requires spending as much as buying a (in your opinion) "better" vehicle.

 

gotcha. i like the spirit.

Aesthetics, aesthetics.

 

Fast is a relative term. Perhaps I should have said well instead of fast.
The Fit handles well but is slow yet loads of fun on track. The Fit does not handle well out of the box; the antisway bar must be tossed and wider wheels and tires installed. Dropping doesn't seem to help based on the other tracked Fit I saw. The Fit is a fun to drive go-fer car. Useless mods have no place on Fits. Or other cars. And i say that as a racer of 50+ years.
I have a family car that has paddle shifters and gets mpg equal to the Fit and will exceed 135 on track but its not as much fun as the FIT.
And when I want to drive a fast car I have a couple of other cars that will indeed go very very fast. But they aren't go-fer cars.

 

go-fer car is like a golf cart?

 

Interior:

passenger visor
jdm armrest
mugen pedals
rear cargo mat


Exterior:

16inch wheels
window tint
mugen visors
spoon spoiler

Engine:
keep it stock
or
greddy turbo or kwsc base kit

Exhaust:

keep it stock
or
fujitsubo wagolis axleback (and if the f.i. comes through, a mugen header, and spoon b pipe are in order.)

Suspension:
mugen sport suspension
J's racing suspension


about 30 percent of this will probably come true. the biggest no go will proably be the turbo/sc.

 

Why are all the 'wishlists' all for ricing their car outs?

The one thing missing on all the lists are: -10hp due to weight.


My wish list is the KWSC with full cat delete kit for my AT NHB.

and possibly an LCD screen for the center console, and possibly for the rear seats.

I want the power to move my hardware, and the added weight.

I have my body kit already, I just need to save up to save to get it painted NHB!... tired of seeing all the Riced out cars...

The only ricing i've done to mine is the JDM Type R emblems, cause I like the red color, I'm almost feeling ashamed of it...

 

This list is just off the top of my head, and is always changing here and there. Over all I think its pretty good Idea of what I want my Fit to be though.

Sorta. But the golf cart has limited range and definitely not a good driver.
Its just an old engineer who likes to have things the best he can.
Besides golf carts don't get 30+ mpg.

 

True! That is one reason I went with appearence items on my Fit instead of performance. I really like the car the way the engine is stock. I handles really well and has enough get up and go if I need it. I have the following:

Mugen Racing Pedals
Mugen Window Visors
Mugen Rear View Mirror Cover
Mugen Door Sills
Mugen Dash Emblem


Honda Items:
All Weather Floor Mats
Cargo Cover
Cargo Tray
Wheel Locks
Exhaust Finisher

Wish List:
Yellow Paint! Yikes!
Better Carpet
Mugen Seat Covers
Better Stereo Sound System
A decision on rims - still can't decide. My guy friends are talking me out of white rims because of potential road rash and chips.

That is all I can think of - for now!
