What about changing the gearing ratios as well? Though that would be calling for a little more work. Just get the housing and then do the gears to our own ratios that would work better for the Fit. Just something I thought of when looking at the CRZ yesterday.

 

Just came off a 2500 road trip. The car needs a 6th gear but at a 15k price point not going to happen.

 

I didnt buy a manual because Im afraid to shift gears?

If I wanted a buick I would be driving one~

A taller 5th gear is a no-brainer for anyone who drives one of these things. I should NOT be able to drive around town in 5th, getting 50mpg... then get out on the highway and be stuck in the same gear getting 28?

55-60 doesnt bother me, but on the interstate at 75-80... it does. It feels like Im driving my old TypeR again.

 

couldn't agree more

 

I'm for a civic engine or a K20 myself, like a Si edition. I think it would be like driving an old EP3, tons of fun. (no bashing me, I've never driven one in real life before)

Though if the 500 Abarth makes it to the states in the 160 Hp trim, I might have to sell a few vital organs to get it.

 

As long as it comes badged as a Fiat 500 Abarth none of this Chrysler nonsense. I hope Mr. Marchionne tries to seriously re-introduce this car to the US in the same form the EDM guys get it, excepting the LHD bit obviously.

"I am a Lamborghini, I am.. I really mean it!"

"See I told you!"

"It's got a turbo boost gauge the size of a fat spaniel's face!"

"This button makes more torque, and this button does something racy with it!"
