Looking at your axles box, are you sure that will fit the GD? All I see on there is EG, EK as the only ones that it will fit.

Your KPro must not have been cheap! I am so jealous!

O' ya we all look forward to see how the "lil' beasty fit" is coming along! You have bought on the cheap put the elbow equity in it and the dr. train is something most here just dream about. The only thing you could do is a 2 stage turbo that would cause some here to pass-out w/ NV.
Looks like the fun is done and it's tweek'n time
enjoy ...................

the axles are the rite ones, you have to remove the ring gear on the outside hub, which is easly done with screwdriver and hammer, if you dont they will bind on the spindle.
kpro and custom harness were 1500

i did a first start yesterday, but had few issues, header has exhaust leak, and it idled real ruff, we checked and it has bad gas from sitting so gona drain and put fresh gas with fuel treatment in and hopefully get exhaust fixed this week, hoping thats all that was making it run ruffly, but it would idle and had no error codes in kpro.

You're doing a good job. But, if your salvaged Fit came with a salvage title you took a bath on the price. When it comes to resale a car with a salvage title is worth about 1/2 of a comparable non-salvage car. If you keep and drive the car forever, you done good.

Wink It does narrow the path of customers but the ones that Know wouldn't say no

When you do a K swap You take Bath with the general Public on resale right?
But with an enthusiast hears a K swap it's like "Ya Baby! Love it"
salvage title? who cares, how much for the Lil' Monster?
So when it is sold people like you and me will be wanting it. Who would say no to a GD3 @ 200+ WHP? cuz of a little piece of paper? not I

Good Job Breadman! Let's see what a good tune will wring outta of her. Look'n 4ward to see'n ya in SC
Big Mike
