Allow myself to introduce.... myself

My name is Peter and I have not used VTEC in the last 24 hours. I will be taking delivery of my 2008 Fit in the next 2 days. It's Milano Red Sport with the 5spd tranny. I am a big Honda fan and spend a lot of time on Forums and now FitFreak.

I am big in to tuning but will probably only chnage the wheels & suspension on the Fit.

The main reason I got the Fit is for the space. My current cars have no room to move people or goods so the Fit will work nicely.


Other cars in the garage:
  • 2004 s2000 Turbo - 378whp @ 14psi
  • 2005 MINI Cooper S - few mods
  • 1965 Austin Mini - V-tec conversion (under construction)

Welcome to FitFreaks anonymous

And Congrats on the soon to be MR FS MT

I am a classic mini fan as well. I was a member of MOALA (mini owners of america Los Angeles) yet somehow was never able to procure one for myself. (its sad when your dream car is totaly affordable and you still cant get one!) When I have more time I will rejoin and hopefully pick one up. The vtec converted ones are silly wicked!!! If ya can post up some pics of your mini that would be stellar. if not no prob...(its just that I am going through withdrawal, I need a mini fix! haahaa)


This is a great forum and community with lots of info try a search or jump deep into the forums for more stuff....and enjoy

Thanks you for all the kind welcomes and I will be posting pics of the Fit soon as I get it. Here are a few pics of my Mini (in progress).

The day I bought it:


Test fitting seats:


I am currently in the process of painting the car and should have that done in the next few days. It has 10" 4-piston disc brakes up front, fully adjustable suspension, Sparco seats and steering wheel, and I will be adding a b16a motor in the next month.
