comparison

I'd just like to pull my stock fit up next to it, open the two hoods, and take a look. I'm not driving that far or doing that much work but I'd love to see it. I'd like to know what the eventual owner has to say about it (issues!!!) a year from now.

having a k20 in a FIT is moderatly ok i'd say, but with a SC in the further front of the car, that totally dips the front, makes the weight distrubution go unbalance. (just my opinions), so handling def. a bit harder...

sure about that?

guy puts $9K into a $16K car, 2 yrs and 20k miles later is asking $24K...

ge at a p/e of 10 is a great price. $24K for this is a rip-off.

With cars, you hardly ever get more than you put into it.

I still think it is a very nice build! I can't imagine the looks on peoples faces while
that thing passes them on the interstate.

i love how you guys keep ripping on him because his car would suck at the track. Perhaps ya'll didn't see what the k20fit from J's racing did on the track? maybe. Or if u watch the video i don't think he ever turns in any of the videos the guy put up of his fit. Its all go fast in a straight line stuff.

AND no one is going to pay that much for a car when they find out that it was the first one that company did like that, and the frame has been cut up. Unless they either don't care about money or don't have a fit and want something like that. Albeit its cheaper than N1 customs i think their called was selling their yellow one on ebay for they wanted like 40grand and parts of the car were hacked and in peices like the console for sure

j's k20 fit is quick in whatever direction you turn the steering wheel. im happy with the L15a as my commuter. i dont need a boosted k20 gd3 to get to work but it would be fun to play with over the weekend.

i was refering to the orange fit with the S/C. He is always going in a straightline when he's showing off in the vids. the J's k20/24 fit is a beast at the track

going straight is the only way to show that his fit is fast because we have all tried to go fast in a straight line in our fits and it just doesnt work.

That and its kinda hard to rock the little one to sleep in the back seat when every nudge of the accelerator gets you a tire-smoking lane change. And every ricer a#$hole within ten miles wanting to race you to the Quickee-Mart. That being said, I like it and wish I had the moolah. Sometimes being first to do something when everybody looks at you like you're crazy and asks why is enough.
