Hi All,

I guess with the $2500 rebate there will be a few new faces around here

Picked up my 2010 MT Storm Silver Metallic Fit Sport (Sold out of Taffeta white ) last Tuesday, have to say so far I'm really enjoying this little go-kart. I traded in my beloved IS250awd to save gas + insurance since I drive 80kms a day. Aside from missing a few creature comforts, I can honestly say I'm really happy with my decision!

My first tank only yielded 450kms, I'd say its 70% hwy and 30% city I'm doing, so I'm really hoping to improve on that. Filling up only cost me $42, compared to the $70-75 I used to spend, so regular gas FTW!

Selling some of my old IS parts to fund the few things I plan to do with the Fit. Doing a little searching here, it seems like there are so many choices with suspension, rim sizes and offsets. Anyone know of a reputable shop that knows Fits well? Or anyone here able to offer advice? Basically, I want the most aggressive stance I can get with the best ride comfort and no rubbing.. any suggestions?

TIA

 

Welcome Nodnarb,

the $2500 rebate is a great buy.
I bought mine this summer and it was only $1500 off

I was in the same shoes as you except I drove a 06 BWM 323i before and like you said the gas was $75+
and my FIT only cost $42 full tank

hey, I got a new set of after market 17" rim for the FIT and I am planning to sell it
will you be interested?

Cheers

 

Possibly, can you send me pics + price?

 

Welcome another SSM Fit owner here! We definitely need more SSM guys lol!

Would recommend u to do the first oil change at around 1000km and 2nd one by 4000km-5000km. That's what I did. Engine runs smoother & quieter after I did that.

As far aftermarket stuff for Fit or other Honda, check out A&J racing in Richmond. If u are into the scene before u got the fit, I'm pretty sure u know who they're.

 

hehe. another SSM GE? uh oh. its all good tho. the SSM will be a collector's item one day when they retire the SSM colour when the 2011s roll out. i bought mines in April and sadly i only got the $1000 rebate. *sigh* the beautiful things i could've done with an extra $1500. :b~~ hope to see u around a future meetup!

 

Yes, SSM wasn't my first choice, but an easy second. White is just so versatile when it comes to picking out the right shoes.

Interesting about the oil change.. my engine seems to be pretty smooth / quiet as is.. now you have me second guessing lol.

Yes, I've heard of A&J. I'll keep them in mind. Thanks.

I think I've encouraged a guy on my hockey team to buy a Fit. Didn't know he was in the market for a new car until he saw mine. We got to talking, I let him take it for a rip and now he wants to buy one. Perhaps another member joining soon? lol

 

Sorry, I wasn't around to help . I was on vacation but now as I remember he told me you were looking for a SI instead thats why cause we didn't come by one yet. Currently deals are going fast so I think if I can help your buddy for his purchase I'll for sure to get you a rewarded in a way that it'll help you buy more toys for your new SSM Fit.

Happy Motoring !! )

Rick,

 

^ No worries!

Yes, I was considering SI as well as the Fit... overall Fit was a better choice for me.

 

Hahaha I was thinking about the Si or the fit too. Wanted the sedan but they weren't available here in Canada YET when I need a car. Sigh!

 

Lets meeeet !

 

a meetup would be good. (then i'd FINALLY get around to getting those GE fitfreak.net stickers off u Felix!) - sorry picked up a shift tonite. :x

 

Haha. Think I'd prefer to mod the Fit a little bit before I hung out with the big boys around here

With Xmas murdering my income, might be a bit! lol

 

U never have to show up in a modded fit. I prefer to see nice people in the group more than nice cars.

 

So you're saying I'm not invited?

 

Nice people are always welcome.

 

welcome to the boards

question

was your is250 white
