Nighthawks club?
I ordered a manual sport FiT from my dealer BEFORE 04/26/06, but they were unable to find me one. Fate/Karma interceded as I just happened to look at eBay around Thanksgiving, and saw a slightly used one for sale at a dealership in the next state. Bought it for MORE than MSRP of a new one (kick me, I'm a loser), but it is a Black manual sport beauty and I'm lovin it. MAN it's hard to find manual sport models, no? Won't modify till the warantee is over, but after that, LOOK OUT

manuals are definitely harder to find. I think cause honda figured commuters wants an auto. just my theory.
you can do mods now just do the simple bolt ons. they cant void a warranty on the car due to some parts unless they can prove it.

Me think peeps at Honda have craniums-up-colon syndrome when it comes to knowing what us in U.S. and A really want. Same thing happened with the Element. They "researched" and "designed" a vehicle they thought would appeal to 20 somethings with low to medium income, but they are all being driven by 30 to 50 somethings that understand value. The FiT is an everyman's sports car that you can still tote stuff in. Maybe daddy's little girl wants one with an outomatic, but DADDY and his young friends want the stick! When is Honda going to survey their American dealers instead of relying on college campus questionnaires?

Sounds like when the VW "market research" that indicated a strong California desire for an open frame 3-wheel, 2-seater car -- with more chrome than a photoshopped UFO. Yes, everyone thinks it's cool, no, none of us really want to buy one though. In the mean time customers are dying to buy usable GTIs and Rabbits in 4-door, which are the last thing to ship to the USA. Which is why I have a Honda Fit in NHBP since April '06. Market research must be harder than it appears...

YEah I didn't even look at the GTi because at the time it was only a 2dr...I wanted to shit a brick when they released the 4dr GTi. At least I love my rattly Fit.
he's soooo cute....

Well the a/t fit sport was 15.9k before taxes, and the way I would configure a 4-dr GTI would be 29.3k, so there were certain trade-offs that were accepted... half the price, half the horsepower, and 1/10th the problems. Look at the Mk6 whenever the design is done and shipping in the future -- "supposedly" they are cutting down the assembly complexity, which should bring a huge boost to vdub's reliability. (My other vehicle is a Mk4 Jetta, freakin' repair bill city!)

yeah, those'll prolly be one of the last things that go on the car though cause thier so expensive for just a cosmetic mod.

JamesBizzle- Nice car man. I love the Spoon N1 muffler. What size are your tires? What are you dropped on? How much wheel gap do you have in the front? How many inches is the front lip from the ground? Sorry about all the questions.

Tire size - 205/55/15.
Springs - T1R S-coil (1st Version).
Front finger gap - one finger gap.
Distance from front lip to ground - 4-5 inches.
