throttle controller, for sure. the PWjdm intake is a show piece IMO. i made a DIY chambered intake with my stock intake box and a high flow filter. you won't get the throttle response from the PWjdm intake that you will from a Blitz throttle controller in sp3

Will do once i get the intake installed. Right now i have a homemade intake so im sure something will change aside from appearance, be it noise or whatever.

and for the throttle controller. this is directly from Blitz's website: BLITZ Throttle Controller eliminates acceleration gap as much as possible by converting electric signal by the use of pre-programmed characters (modes). Throttle Controller is an item which improves acceleration response. Basically opens your TB faster

what you could do is stop doing miniscule HP upgrades and make your suspension better. Unless you're going to boost it, i/h/e is pretty much pointless on this car.

Buy my parts in my sig. $800 takes everything you need for suspension besides front strutbar and coilovers, with a bonus of the 07 Fit service manual!

+1, what tranced said. IMO, it's really not worth putting power mods on your car unless you turbo or sc it. Concentrate on making it look better and handle better so that you can actually drive it faster and stop faster. It makes driving the car a lot more fun in the long run. A fast car that doesn't handle well doesn't mean much.

Well i have a few suspension upgrades and im happy with them for now. So i am buying what i want. I dont buy something for my car bc "it makes sense" or "its the best way to go". I do what i want bc its what i like. But thanks for the input.

Tranced just noticed you DO have the rear sway bar up for grabs. $130 shipped or 130 plus shipping? And by "good bolts" are they the panducky ones or just the correct size? And what grade are the bolts? Im picky about that kinda stuff

I respect you opinion on what to buy, it IS your car afterall.

So now instead of pushing the gas pedal all the way down, you'll only have to push it half way. It will be more responsive I guess, but won't your gas mileage go down too? Let us know.
