TESTED: 2011 Mazda 2 and 2010 Honda Fit B-Spec Racecars
News & Updates - B-Spec.net - Testing the 2011 Mazda 2 and 2010 Honda Fit B-Spec Racecars (video on link)
and on a side note...
"In pure spec-sheet terms the Mazda 2 gives up 17 horsepower to the Fit, but the difference may be larger here because the Honda team removed their catalysts, while the Mazda folks went with a cat-back exhaust. Not only is the B-Spec Fit significantly louder, it’s faster down the long front straight when we stand on the gas."
"Underneath, both B-Spec racers ride on a Bilstein B14 PSS performance suspension kit that consists of monotube front struts and rear shocks with non-adjustable damping and matching springs that are height-adjustable."
* will be updating the site with latest B-Spec related news...*

this test/info update on the two cars has been yet the closest thing we get to take a peek of what's under the hood, sorta speak... more scratching is needed to get more info.
seeing that both cars has modified exhaust, there would be a good possibility that the b-spec rules would allow bolt-ons while keeping the internals stock or as stock as possible. if this should hold true, then a tune has to be done, correct?

Performance modifications are few and tightly constrained in order to keep costs down and real-world relevance high. That’s why the internals of the engine and transmission can’t be altered. There are no supercharger kits, no headers, no wild cams. Bottom line: The underhood area remains more or less showroom stock.

^ that's a good point. I'm guessing they have some rules for re-flashing, although I'm pretty sure you have to have a piggyback to mod the fit ECU

this is what's on the the 3rd to last paragraph...
like I said, any mod done to exhaust and or intake... a tune has to be in check.
Hmmm... looks like the ECU will soon be cracked and we'll all do the...
Both sides think it’s better to run functional catalysts with cat-back exhausts, and things like ballast and car-specific ECU reflashes are being tossed around as possible ways to equalize cars with different horsepower levels.
