A car that is great value for money, economical yet fun to drive and looks awesome on the streets.

Downside is that I scrape the bottom of my lowered car from time to time...

What's the modification you did to your Fit?

The scrape part, do you mean with speed bumps? I haven't experienced that with my Fit...... or maybe I just haven't noticed :D

1993 SW20 MR2 GT-S

Had this for 10 years now and been tracking it for about 6. I would like to take it to the nordschleife this year and then I might sell it and get a GT86/BRZ instead. Either that or maybe swap the engine for the Toyota 2GR-FE 3.5 V6 and just keep it forever.

Also have a 2019 Mini Cooper for the sensible car but don't have any interesting pics of that because ehh. But it's more fun to drive than most modern equivalent cars and has all the nice tech like carplay and that.

Thanks! It doesn't get used much as of late though, through looking at the inspection records I only drove it around 1000km last year and that did include one trackday.

As of now, a set of coilovers, 16" rims and matching tyres, aftermarket headlights & tail lights, a small spoiler, side skirts, aftermarket front brakes (larger disc and calipers), aftermarket infotainment with CarPlay.
About two months later I will receive my new 17" rims and tyres.
Most of those come for the looks but the coilovers do improve the handling by quite a lot.

Speed bumps mostly don't hurt; this usually happens when I try to enter or exit certain underground parking lots with steep ramps. After all my Fit is about 5 cm closer to the ground than most other Fits.

Hot damn!!! Sounds awesome the mods you've done. If you can share us a pic of it, that way I could see the potential of mine :P

Hy,

In the meantime, a car is only an object of use for me and that's why I only have a Hyundai Getz 1.6 first registration in 2009. But my car history is very long and varied (each some BMW, Opel, Ford, Datsun, Peugeot, Renault, one Trabant P601 and the Hyundai Getz).

The GK5 Fit is really awesome for entry-level car enthusiasts like me. Lots of mod options at relatively affordable prices.

Those pics I posted were relatively new pictures I have right now... I will come back and post some more pictures after I get my new Enkei rims 8-)
