New Commuter

[Raindog]

Well, I sold the Cobra and Volvo. Shopping around for something that got good mileage and had some space inside I settled on a Honda Fit.

One week later I decided that if I can't make it accelerate, at least I can make it take the curves so in went the Bilstein PSS coilover kit, Enkei PF01's and General G-Max AS-03's. I'm happy with it now, fetches 38mpg mixed driving and it's more than capable on the tight roads around here.

that second picture makes it look like you can walk over to it and pick it up in your hand it looks so small. Gotta love the gas mileage

 

[Almighty-One]

Those are cool little cars and I really like how they look when done nice

This.

LOL, yeah yeah, I've already been beaten down on this thoroughly local.

Thanks guys, it's actually just as much fun on the backroads here but any straight puts me in the rearview. Kinda like riding a motard.

It's uhhh....cute.

Looks really good with the mods, and you can't argue with the gas mileage!

Congrats on the mods....just need a few stickers, techno blasting, and you're all set.

 

[Raindog]

Nah, not interested in aligning myself with a group of douchebags...plenty of those around.

You paid for it, enjoy..

If you like it that's what is important. I just can't bring myself to by an "econobox" - I'll get a Diesel VDub before I buy ANY Honda.

I would of gone for a used civic si for a bit more performance, but the fit is much more utilitarian (folding seat configs etc); most importantly it makes a great DD...

Power is just a 2.4L k-series swap away (e.g. the J's Racing fit

It looks a lot better lowered. I like the color, too! Can't squabble with awesome gas mileage. I wish I got 38mpg mixed driving. Enjoy it! :beer:

Congrats, any plans for autox since you got the turn-fast mods?


I love the typical retard responses in the thread, these cockbags sound like they're in high school.

If the coilover kit didn't include camber plates, you might want to get a pair of front camber bolts to get a bit more neg. front camber which will help increase grip in front/reduce understeer, etc, same deal re: a stiffer rear sway bar...

Either way, definitely go to a few autox events, it's a really fun time!

I too enjoy Hondas with suspension work. My '97 Civic sedan isn't fast in a straight line, but with mileage in the 30's and 2400lbs, it's fun on the daily commute.

hey at least no more speeding tickets or noise complaints
