Well Tsukuba 1000 was attacked, finished 1st in my class and was just 2 seconds off from the top time of the day accomplished by a gutted out EF8 SiR CR-X. The car felt absolutely wonderful with the diff. There was 1 GT driver there giving rides to people in their own car or Feel's FN2R, anyways he told the Feel's staff he really enjoyed watching me drive the Fit so hard and said he was impressed with my driving. Felt really nice to hear that. Have a bunch of video from the 3 GoPros that I will piece together tomorrow.

 

Awesome! Congrats!

 

Really interested to see the videos and any pics that were taken by anyone at the event.

 

Great news! Congrats!

Been thinking about an LSD since you got it.

 

Get one if you plan on really driving the car. Right now I'm running Redline 75W-90NS and it has super lock, but will be replacing with the Amsoil I ordered once it arrives. Right now it's POP POP POP POP POP POP on super slow turns. Love it. Only reason the NS has no friction modifiers. Not sure if you want a clutch type or Torsen/Quaife, but I would recommend clutch as it has much more grab.

 

U may wanna try using Torco MTF. Been talking to Pat@ MFactory & seems like he always recommended to use Torco fluid with metal clutch type LSD.

I'm agreed & would really recommend u guys to get a LSD if u plan to have fun with your car. I can get back on gas to accelerate out of a corner MUCH EARLIER after I got one installed.

 

Awesome, congrats! You've got a proper setup now. Looking forward to the videos.

 

Just edited the first of the 6 sessions. First session cut out the first few laps as they were a processional slow no passing laps.

Here is the 1st vid.
Session 2

 

555 I was just watching your circuit stadium videos. Is it really that slippery in there? And is it on purpose?

 

Very slippery and yes on purpose. Tomorrow will be going there once again if the weather is foul or hitting up an outdoor kart track for a dual hatted birthday and going away party for 2 friends.

 

cup of coffee + 1st vid... well, good morning! very nice run

 

sounds like best birthday party ever. wtb: invite

+1!

 

How come I haven't seen this before o.O I feel so left out lol

So beautiful! Great modifications with quality parts and worksmanship. Hands down one of my favorite GE in the main land!

 

Hey 555, not sure if anybody has asked but how does the J's tune feel compared to stock?

 

There is an improvement. Better mid-range pull and some top-end. Nothing crazy really, but definitely improved overall feel to stock. I actually should have an increased throttle body as that is part of the tune, but still running the stock piece. Thinking of going with Spoon's TB as they increase both the butterfly and inlet whereas the J's is stock butterfly and increased inlet only. Seriously contemplating going with a cam from Jun and increasing compression to 12.5:1 to eek out a bit more power. I know with that I won't get the 20~25ps I would love to have, but it should net at least half of that and as we all know any increase on this small motor is a welcomed increase.

 

Yea I fap over the venturi throttle body...not so much the price though haha. a 12.5:1 L15 would be awesome especially with a cam. I say do it and post vids! lol. The reason I ask this though is to find the potential of a nice reliable n/a build and come up with my own goals. Your car is the epitomy of what I'm shooting for in the future...an extremely well balanced and purposeful car for the street and track that is also cheap to run.

 

chris, im going to have to hit you up in a few weeks. your car is putting mine thru great shame!!! car is looking real good!!!

 

The Safety21 10pt arrived this evening. Won't install till I get some proper/decent padding. In the meantime, I'll be protected during GT5.

 

Nice GT5 setup!

 

Hey 555,

Just wanted to give you an official hello and a thank you. Why the thanks you ask? Because a year ago when I was going to purchase the Fit, I was really stuck on color. I kept browsing and browsing online for Fits in different colors, since my local dealers didnt have what I was looking for.

So I was stuck. I saw every color, but nothing was really grabbing me. I mean, if pearl yellow was available in the US I would have definetly went with that, since thats the color I would go with if I ever got an S2K. But since there was no Yellow, it was back to the drawing baord.

But after I discovered this thread and saw your car, my mind was made up. I went with white. Here's my car below.
