Man i just think about things to do to my fit soo much i can't even sleep at night. Well that combined with my knee hurting. Even my grandfather thinks i should ask for a good bit of Pain and suffering money. So i've been kinda looking into the K20 swap and i'm going to call some shops tomorrow. Not getting my hopes up too much tho
See how much it is, I'm curious.

Go a different route. Keep the L15A, add forged internals, a LSD, then slap on a Kraftwerks Supercharger and T1R Turbo kit.

still something to be said for the K20. And i'm looking to do something with possibly stock internals of the k20 and see what i can get. Or possibly the k24 bottom end and k20 top. I've seen a K20 revving 10k plus something like that would be nice but i'm looking for reliability in the long run. I want to be able to put 15k+ miles a year for at minimum the next 5 years

You're talking about the Hasport Fit. Of course it's going to be fast. They spent a lot of money on that Fit.

So you got to ride along with Chris in is VBP? How did he drive? How many people where there in STF? I bet they were glad I wasn't there...

Not sure on the next meet. I "might" be selling my BBP so I would be passing the tourch onto some unlucky fellow FitFreaker to keep these meets going. But I'll still be intouch and more than willing to help out.

No joke Jeff owned us all! I can't beleive how long it took me to figure out how those karts handled. I'll do better next time.

As far as the possible sell of my BBP...









I got the F20C itch!

O NOES. Well honestly the one thing i don't like about it which is weird is the fact that there really isn't that much you can do to the engine. I like the engine. But i'm not a huge fan of the car around it. I'd like to have the engine in an old '86 corolla maybe. bet that would be fun

hmm verry interresting.
yeah i rode with chris twice, he was crazy with it. he never really prepared for the turn by turning wide before the turn, he just tossed it into the cornet, and every time, the fit handled it (but with TONS of understeer from the tires).

whats the specs on ur car? and whats the askin price?

First off, Adam needs to read last months Honda Tuning (Yin & Yang cover story). Find the wrenching section in the back and learn all about Hytech's bolt on kit that puts down 287 WHP with only valve train, intake, header and exhaust! It's expensive, but well worth the money... And I don't see where you would not like the "car around it"??? It has a FMR Drive train for balance, killer styling and the fastest drop top ever made (6 seconds).

As far as spec's on my car:

08' BBP (MT) with 14K for $15,500

Skunk2 Springs
Progress Rear Anit-Sway Bar
JDM Coin Holder
JDM H Badges front/rear
14" OEM Honda HX's with brand new tires
Yellow fog lights
"Crash Bolts" for extra negitave camber
Extra small Base model shift knob with color matched (BBP) inlay
Custom cut "Extra thin" rubber floor mats
Mugen Lug Nuts
Hamp Oil Filter

Basic, lightly modded GD3.
