I just went to the local VCMC motorsport club(
www.vcmc.ca) Novice Champ Tour event on the Sunday May/24/2009. This is the 2nd autocross event for me & my Fit but first event after I got my mFactory 4.7 final gear set & Quaife LSD installed.
I was running in Street Mod that day. Definitely not a class that my Fit will ever get into top3 even in a local event like this. I was running with new Civic Si Sedan with CT eng. supercharger kit w/coilovers, 16x8" rims & R-comps & a 275whp SR20 swapped 1st gen 240sx.
I don't really mind to run in that class though coz I knew I'd be pissed if that certain class doesn't allow me to run limited slip or final gear. Might as well do something that I really wanted instead regreting it in the future.
Anyway here are the pictures that my friends took for me:
Here's my in-car video on the last run & best run of the day:

Modifications highlight:
- m
Factory 4.7 final gear set
- Quaife ATB Limited Slip Differential
- Desmond Regamaster Evo 15x6.5 +45mm Falken Azenis RT615 205/50R15
- Showa tuning damper set
- T1R(Exedy) organic clutch set
- Megan header + T1R test pipe + SPOON catback(sports muffler)
With the new mFactory 4.7 final gear set, Quaife LSD, T1R clutch & RT615s, I can put that tiny little 85ish-whp to the ground much more effectively than before. There's a noticeable difference on acceleration & throttle response in straight line & around the corners with the final gear set, and I can go WOT much earlier with the LSD without worrying about understeer like a pig now.
I would definitely go get more seat time at autocross & lapping event this year to have fun & of coz I'll try to learn more about the new setup & maximize the performance out of it.
