PFA. Hello everyone, again!

I wanted to know if there was anything to look out for or that I should prioritize first. I just picked up the 2008 Honda fit sport manual, and while it had had the valve adjustment, spark plugs, coils changed, looking at the carfax you realize one thing quickly.

All those things were 3-10 years ago. Car has 110k miles so looking at the records it barely got driven, so alot of stuff seems more time than age dependent.

Oil has already been changed, next on my list is transmission fluid since there’s no mention in the records, is there anything else people recommend?

After searching locally and a bit non-locally for the better part of 2 months I finally found a clean 1 owner “low” mile (109k) honda fit in manual! Bought is sight unseen at least in person. Had pictures sent and carfax and then had it shipped to me

It’s an absolute blast. I’m coming from a 2019 Corolla hatchback, and a few years back I owned a full auto cross setup EG6.

Already picked up a few mods like Seb’s CDV delete/Dead pedal, and today I’m installing HR short throw shifter. I have a few more things planned which leads me to my 1st question.

Any recommendations for good coilovers? Car will be driven 80-90% on the street and used as a daily, mainly just want to lower 1-2” and ride somewhat comfortably while improving handling.

As you can tell in the video there’s a whine coming from the transmission/engine area that dies down pretty much completely after shifting out of 1st/low gear.

Fluid was a bit low, topped it off and didn’t help, no issues shifting or slipping at all, just noise.
