The same reason people do it in hatchbacks kyle. Come on now. I'm in the process of building a 300whp k20 for my fit, I have yet to decide whether I'm going to road race it, or straight line it, but either way the parts will be there to make that kind of power. Look out for deals and you can do a basic k20a2 swap fairly cheap. I picked up a longblock with a spun rod bearing for a measly $350. How's that for expensive? I'll admit I was fairly lucky on that one, but I've still seen them cheap nonetheless.

ok i have the HKS kit and would not go back what an amazing kit and an easy install about 7 hours no cutting no drilling no nothing easy easy easy. t1r is to much money and developed in Canada the super charger thing is made in the U.S. and come on if it made in the u.s it should not be on a jap motor i dont trust it. and how can you not trust a name like HKS. i have had it for 2 weeks now and beat on my car for that whole 2 weeks no rattles not heat problems no check engine lights no driveability just everything is great. o and i still got 33 mpg. if your on the fence stay away from Canada and from USDM shyt and get parts from the same country that the car is made in HKS FTMFW.
HKS = LEGAL!!!!!!!
KWSC base = LEGAL, therefore similar HP #'s
EVERYTHING else = ILLEGAL, can't get higher #'s
without breaking the laws
who much money/time do u think it's gonna cost come emission testing time when you have to remove everything to and re-install the stock set-up to pass, then remove the stock set-up and re-install OTHER kit after passing tech?

If youre caught... its bad news bears. But theres no emissions checks. If a cop wanted to he could lay down and check under your car for a cat. If its not there he could fine you.
But have you ever seen a cop bend down lower than the seat in their police car? I know I havent.
As illegal as it is to remove the car, theres still exhaust shops that will do it.

well i have small washers(perect fit for the hood)
i put 11 total. but mine arnt that thick.
uh....essentially you put the washers in between the metal and the hood itself. get a longer bolt and screw it back in.
