#42 of 634 Fit and Satellite Radio by mtngal Apr 28, 2006 (1:22 pm)
Now that I have the Fit, I'm more confused than ever about adding a Roady or other satellite add-on. I know it has an aux jack that is easily reachable, but it isn't a dual RCA jack, is it? Do I need a PIE adaptor for it or ??? I didn't get very far with my reading this morning.   Also, is there an aftermarket auto dimming, outside temp, and map/reading light combination available? Not a big deal, but I sort-of miss those things (the lights mostly, but if I'm going to be doing something like that, I'll go all the way).

Replying to: mtngal (Apr 28, 2006 1:22 pm) A double-male 3.5mm mini jack is all you need. I'm going for a retractable cable, which makes it easier to take the unit from vehicle to vehicle, without a bunch of cord to tie up.   My unit is the Sirius Starmate Replay (ST2), which also has a boom-box available. I picked it, because it's style rather mimics the Fit's stock radio, image-reversed, and has a blue backlight.

I'll tell you what - go Auto X a 14" wheeled Fit against a 16" HFP'ed Fit and tell me which hangs through the corners better. *** Actually, once the tires get larger than is required for the car to safely corner, you could put 20 inchers on it and the suspension would be the limiting factor.   14 inchers are already larger than the car needs, and no handling differences so far have been detected other than a microscopic improvement in turning radius. I like the 14s as they save you lots of money on tires AND give you a softer ride.

#46 of 634 Cargo organizer by sd_driver Apr 28, 2006 (9:24 pm)
The $43.75 at College Hills Honda website is less than the $60 or $70 or more the dealers are charging.   But I found a nice cargo organizer at Target for $14.99.   Looks to be almost the same. No Honda emblem, or course.   I love saving money.

Replying to: plekto (Apr 28, 2006 7:05 pm) It is a proven fact as far as handling goes that the shorter the sidewall of the tire is the better it handles up to a point. I am the one with the 16" wheels on my Fit sport and let me say that it is great! I test drove a Base Fit with the 14 inch wheels and to me in the corners the car pushed alot. It almost felt as if the tire was going to roll off the bead. I also drove the sport with the 15" wheels and it felt alot better due to the increased contact patch of the tire. The car with the HFP 16" wheels with Kumho Escta tires feels like I could take it to an autocross course and have fun. I don't plan on doing this but I could if I wanted. 14" wheels are going to make the most difference in your ride quality. The 14" wheel/tire combo with 175/65 R14 tires is going to have more tire sidewall to achieve the same overall hieght as the 15" wheel/tire combo with 195/55 R15 tires on it. The 16" HFP wheels use 205/45 R16 tire which lessens your sidewall less but increases your contact patch even more. The process of changing tire/wheel sizes is a normal process often refered to by tire companies as plus sizing. The Fit base is the starting point. The Fit sport is Plus 1 anf the 16" wheels are plus 2. I will post a picture of the car with the 16" wheels soon.
