Just ordered this for my Fit!







John and I noticed at the track that we had a lot of wierd hops. Watching each other run we noticed that it wasn't wheel hop, so it had to be something else. We contacted Ingalls and they just made these. J's makes one but this one is cheaper and we have used their camber kits and everything else for years.

What we did notice once we had the Fit on the lift was that just by moving it up and down the entire engine area moved so much more than it should so this should help a lot (also the innovative mounts should help as well). Either way we just ordered 2 for our Fits along with the Camber kit ingalls sells. Which I wasn't aware of any other company who sells a camber kit yet.

Can't wait to install next week!

We sell them at 199.95 and shipping is whatever cost of shipping is no uppriced shipping to make more money. I know AJ has the J's for 220$ USD. We may do a huge sale if we get a lot of feedback, like a group buy.

We will have a DIY but it is really easy to do.

daym those are pricey for the fit. i would do it though, but im not sure either to go with the j racing or the ingalls. its only 30 bucks difference so i could careless about the pricing. maybe if the ingalls was wayyyy cheaper i would go with them.


i bought one for my buddy's tc and oh man does that thing help out.

I gotta agree... the Fit needs something like this. I pointed out the motor's shaking on the lift when we were putting the Mugen suspension in Kevin's Fit... and I'm not talking about when it's running. Moving the lift up and down causes the motor to shake, it's that bad. Try grabbing onto it with your hand and moving it...

One thing I've liked about the Stiffy is that it doesn't add a lot of vibration at idle like stiffer mounts do. I don't know if the L15 even would vibrate the car a lot (some motors just don't), but we'll see.

You should deff do a group buy. I saw it a few days ago when I was looking for part numbers for the camber bolts. (which I bought)
The retail price on Ingalls web side is redunkulous for the TD!

Isnt it called "The Stiffy?"

Better keep an eye on the rear mount. Other brands were even more sturdy and they all CRACKED. There are a couple posts about them and the cracking here on FirFreak.

All Fits have ABS I believe. Dont they? I dont see why it wouldnt work. Same motor and its mounted on the same side.
Not sure what it would be used for on an auto though.

I am pretty sure also. Only reason some intakes don't work for the Fit is cause of the auto tranny being larger then the manual.

Mounting wont be an issue. We are a top seller of Ingalls and have been for years. The ETD "stiffy" isn't a solid mount so that it will cause some insane amount of stress on the engine/mounts. Ingalls is one of the short list of companies I know that do a lot of product testing before releasing anything. They have been a leading company for camber kits for years and I've never had one issue or heard of any issues with any of their products.

A loose motor is more likely to cause a motor mount to fail than the ETD. I really dislike how much the motor moves on the Fit just by moving it up on a lift. We have all types of cars all day on our lift and no motor in any car moved anywhere near the amount the Fits engine does.

As far as poly mounts, I believe Innovative is the only company that is making a motor mount kit for the Fit.
