so let's start "debating" this in terms of B/K -> L series chassis ok?

Our Fit is on the cover of Super Street's 10th Anniversary Issue currently in the newsstands. It has a full feature inside about the car. Our car does run after a lot of trial and error. We ran it one time on the track and did 13.2 @ 102mph at NHRA Las Vegas in high altitude and 110 degree heat. We had some issues w/ the axles but they have since been corrected. The car handles great and the K20 Fit is the way to go. We thought about the B and R series but doesn't seem like it's worth developing.
We used billet engine mounts that did not require any cutting. We may release the mount and swap kit depending on the interest of Fit owners in North America and overseas. Our mounts work w/ US and JDM spec Fits.
We built this car to promote the potential and raise the bar of the Fit (hope we get some recognition for this *cough* Honda of NA *cough*). We know that this car will be a hit in the US after seeing how popular it is overseas in Asia. You'll see 10 Fits (aka Jazz) before you see a Scion (Toyota) in Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong, etc. We really hope that this car takes off here in the states and blow the Scions out of the water.
Here's some more info on the car:

In all seriously, if you just made ONE other kit mounts/axles/throttle cable/Shift linkage (if necessary) JUST ONE complete kit without wiring (I can do that) ITS already SOLD i'd fly to CA to buy it if i had to!
