Thank you a bunch! Lots of time spent working on it as well as cussing and regrets, but it only gets better from here

As per the significant other's request, I'm not allowed to list what parts were used. He will make a build thread if he changes his mind and/or returns to FF.

It's the attitude and people like your "significant other" that make this community slow, unsupportive, and dead.

Other communities welcome showing off their efforts, writing up DIYs to support the community, and generally look forward to showing and encouraging others to explore opportunities with their cars. They embrace others through a shared connection of a vehicle and make the world a better place.

Shame on anyone who would decide to keep progress and continual advancement away from the community due to pride or an "I have it and you don't" type attitude. Gloating to people and showing off isn't productive and serves no positive purpose on these boards.

My only advice is to embrace this community. If you're proud of your car and your work, then you should be able to show off what you did. Show us the intense time taken to do a job right and the pride you put into your work. Grow the community and inspire people into working on their cars.

What you decide to do is up to you. Great job on the car. It makes me miss my old K24 powered rsx. I look forward to the day a mount kit comes out for the fit, and if my research into the CRZ mounts pays off, I'll share it with the community.

Lol. That's all I have to say.

J's racing did the swap. Spoon sport did the swap. Are they entitled or owe "the community" anything? The answer is no.

The fit community is dead anways. Not because of people like me who refuse to spoon feed you info. A community has to be self driven before they can expect anything from anyone.

Plus I never said I refuse to give out info. I just don't time to BS with a all talk no walk "community" like this one.

Ps. The little rumors you heard about the Crz k swap mounts working? That rumor was started and confirmed by me, so your welcome because none of you had the balls to rip your motor out to test fit them.

See my point? The majority of guys will just sit here and talk. So excuse me if I don't feel entitled to spoon feed you.

spoon feeding or not I'd love to hear about how you guys did it, especially the wiring and things like the axles and whatnot. When you get a chance if you're willing to share any unique challenges/solutions you came across in this swap i'm sure many of us would be all ears.

A mounting kit will NEVER exist for the Fit.

Ever.

Why? Because the owners (for the vast majority) are as Coco describes...also look up his 'started threads,' dude has posted a lot more helpful stuff than you with your ONE post.
