well, figure that you'd have the same power to weight ratio as cars like the vw gti or civic si. those, stock, run low 15's. a lot of the turbo and superchargers out here for our cars are made to be as risk free as possible, and the l15 isn't exactly a powerhouse like old b series engines are, so you are limited to what you can do. for a dd, 15 seconds is fine. if you want to be SUPER fast, then maybe a fit isn't the best answer. (at least not compared to what you can do to a 97 dx hatch.
)
but its good for a dd. i do agree, though, if we could hit 14's, that would be sick.

you got that right..there is some crazy shit you can do to a EK hatch. but im looking to get a newer car and i hate the new civics with a passion
i think the only thing i dislike about newer civics is that everyone has one. but other than that, the new civic is great, and its the best si we have ever gotten. (with the eception of the old ef ones ofcourse.

well thats just because there is no CIVIC TYPE R. if we could get that hatch, i would get that in a heartbeat.
i honestly dont like the new si's. i think they are slow. its great when they look @ me after they got their ass handed by a civic DX.

IIRC the HKS turbo kit had two versions and both were under 3k. They aren't the U.S. spec kit of course. Someone here on this form had this kid and other posted the link to a reseller that carried this kit. I wonder what the differences are.
Either way with gas prices the way they are today I'm not sure I want to
turbo charge anytime soon.

funny that you mention that, because the euro r you are talking about is bascially our si power wise, but with a bit more torque. and its build on the fit's chassis as well.
its probably faster than our si, but not faster than the jdm version.
i agree though, it takes the cake as coolest honda hatch.
