My Car..... Tiffany

Just bought my first car on 16 Oct! After do quite an extensive research, decided to go with Honda as I feel it has the best technology around and have good resale value too. Also, I believe it will deliver the best performance. Besides, my "bro-in-law" just started his own workshop and PI business, so I went ahead with my first car with him... a HONDA FIT!

Honda Fit 1.3 A G with F package (GE6)
  • HKS Super Power Flow with Cold Air Intake (CAI) setup
  • Inspire 285mm Brakes Upgrade to All 4 Disc Brakes and SIR Front Calipers
  • 15" ROTA rims (Fighter) with Bridgestone Protenza RE001 195/50/R15
  • Double Din Kenwood MP3 Player
  • Solar Films
  • Leather Seat (Red thread stiches)

Looks good ah...... Cos it does! My ride runs at the following specs

  • Continuous Variable Transmission
  • 100 bhp (5% more for CAI)

Steady right? I ownself added for myself a GTop HUD Speed Meter HG100 at a steal of $99. Honestly, its really an "shuang" buy. Haa haa....

Drove my ride for about 3 months now... 4800+ km. It really a very comfortable ride, very easy to drive. The brakes were very responsive after the upgrade, I could feel it as I drove on the stock brakes for about 3 weeks. The increased disc size though also made the steering heavier, but thats the way I liked it! Ha ha! The installation of the CAI also gave a better throttle response, thought I would like to have more. Mine is done open pod, but with the original air box, thus minimizing low-end losses. The Protenza tyres has proofed to me many times over its gripping power!

Now to my wish list..... Things I would like to do :

  • Throttle Controller ( HAC or Pivot 3 Drive)
  • LED Sill Plate (Blue)
  • Touch screen DVD Player with build in GPS and analyzer
  • Boot Cover
  • Exhaust System
  • Suspension

Slowly ah.. slowly.... maybe won't do all also :P

Stay tune for more updates!
