Thumbs up post WIN/LOSSES with KWSC

I'm in the market for a new car and I working for honda I've driven all models. All I can say is I love the way the fit handles. Only thing I don't like is seating position and the stock power(having owned nothing but swapped integras/civics). But I have been looking at the KWSC HIGH BOOST KIT, and I'm impressed. I plan on doing KWSC HIGH BOOST KIT with a full exhaust system. Along with suspension etc etc

Being that this vehicle would be my daily driver/weekend warrior on the circuit, I'm wondering what cars I will be able to play with on the street/ track.

List of mods would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mr. 773

Not hard to believe at all . . . people with a hard-on for drag racing don't buy a Fit.

I think it is hard to call another car become very small in your rear view mirror a race.

Don't get me wrong I'm not really into drag racing myself. Just curious as to what a supercharged. Fit would do on the street/ autocross track.
I took a look at the kw/skunk2 vid of the. Fit v.s. and m5 but that's not on a stock fit with just the high boost kit/ exhaust. Their car has a front mount and puts down 200whp.
I just figured people that invested 5k into their fit would have some fun stories considering the fit costs less than 20k, and could possible take cars almost twice their price on the street/ track.

What cars have gotten lost in your rear view texas coyote?

Drag racing is something I got out of my system over 35 years ago... I do have to admit to misbehaving and making people in cars known to be faster than a Fit feel foolish with the KWSC base kit after shifting to 2nd gear but other than pulling away from people determined to tailgate me on the highway I have never raced anyone since I installed the high boost upgrade.

I really have been behaving due to exhaust noise from the installation of a Megan down pipe in place of what was there... Most of the vehicles where I live are SUVs and pickups and like on Fit Freak the cars are only decked out with cosmetic modifications.... When I drive in a sporting manner, it is on the less traveled rural roads that have hills, sweeping turns and not many flat straights... No one could stay with me with the base kit and they lose interest quickly since the upgrade... When I am able I will let you know more but I haven't really had a chance to do much more than realize that all of the people that say that a Fit with boost is still slow are mistaken.

What exhaust setup are you currently running? Not a big fat of loud exhausts but I like the sound the kw/skunk2 fit had in their video. Really took me by suprise for a 1.5L

I was able to save up by not being enticed to buy cosmetic items for my car and making impulsive purchases... It took less time than I thought and no credit card interest to pay off.

I beat douchebags who drive minivans and priuses like they're race cars. Other than that the Fit is so nimble and small that people who tailgate you will get stuck in traffic while you weave through it like it's nothing.

Handling is the most attractive thing about the Fit and the KWSC is a great way to get you to the next curve in the road..... Being able to pass a line of tailgating idiots on a two lane road is another good thing made possible by KWSC.
