**Official K-Fit Pictures Thread** (no BS)
thanx dude... custom is the way to go bro, no one is making it unless Felixy still has his custom one for sale
If you looking for the custom header, I can get you one. Actually, the one Fliex selling is the one I have, buz it supposely to build for him, but he went turbo instead. If you want it let me know I will let the guy finish it and ship it to you.
For all you K swappers who want to put that traction to the ground with light weight 15" wheels and meat!
Here is my latest setup in preparation for the K20A type R. Traction was a big concern of mine so here's my remedy.
Front: 949Racing 6ul 15x9 et+36, Nitto NT-01 225/45/15
Rear: 949Racing 6ul 15x8 et+36, Nitto NT-01 205/50/15
No poke! NO Modification! No Spacers! No rolling!
Between the tires and grip and the new geometry of the staggered setup, the fit feels COMPLETELY different. The nose of my car no longer leads into a turn like every other front wheel drive car. It feels as though the pivot rotational point is exactly where I sit. Like it rotates from the middle. JUST LIKE A MIATA!
I completely understand why the Japanese run this type of setup on all their tuner track cars. wow
I cannot guarantee that it will work for you like that because I only know that it works for my setup. However I will tell you my exact setup.
1. Basically start off the the fender liner trick
"we basically take off your wheel. PUSh up on the fender lining till it tucked itself in...(you will feel it give a good pop) and make sure you take off the clips before you start to push."
2. My alignment is really agressive as this is a track car. the front has -3.0° camber and the rear is at -1.8°.
3. I am on skunk2 Pro C coilovers. NOT hella dumped. Like a very tight 2 finger gap in the front and the rear on the lowest setting resulting in a 2.2 finger gap.
4. I have powergrid custom endlinks. they are 7" long. you can get them from powergrid via phone.
5. not that this matters but I did roll my rear fenders a long time ago to clear my old 16s I had. this might have helped with my current set up. not sure, it looks fine.
Hope this all helps.

This setup is intended for my K. Which was built to put down 277whp @ 13:5:1 compression..By the previous owner. Lol I bought a monster..
I'm guessing my L15A is at 115-120 on a good day? Lol this size of course does effect my straight line speed slightly. But the grip makes up for it in the turns.

Hello everyone, I have several questions I'm in the process of getting GD fit and would really like to build a K powered fit
1) would any K work? ( exp K20a2, k20z3, K24a2) I would really like a K24a2
2) Trans once again any k trans work?
3)I know that Hasport makes a bracket kit but if I understand right you still use OEM mounts is this true? and if it is can you use the Innovative fit mounts?
4)Is Hasport the only company that makes a wire harness for the conversion?
5)are the K fit axles are the same as egK axles?
6) can you use a RSX or Civic SI shift box?
7)can you use RSX shifter cables
8) is DBW TB needed?
9) can I keep a working A/C in car?
10)can you keep stock radiator and what hoses do you use
Sorry for all the noob questions I'm just really looking forward to doing this swap any help will be appreciated, I'm not planning to do some crazy stuff just want a fun daily driver that is not a thieve magnet like (Eg, Ek, Ef, Dc) thanks in advance.

2.ones from the a, a2, and ep3 will with rsx cables and modded rsx shifter box, or you can use z1 or z3 trans with modded accord cables and stock fit shifter box.
3.yes, iam am useing the innovative 85a mounts now, i would recommend less than a 85a cuz i have more interior vibration than most would like but i do.
4.yes for dbw, if you go cable that changes how wiring is done, there a few thread here that explain the other way.
5.yes
6.yes but both require modifing, and if you go with civic si you will lose your center console or have to cut most of it out, i have a diy thread on here on how i used a hybrid racing shifter box, drive mine daily.
7.yes, but only with hybrid racing or modded rsx shifter box
8.only if you want to keep your factory dash cluster gauges or you live in area that requires strict emission tests.
9.yes by useing ep3 lines as stated in earlier posts.
10.yes, a bottom gsr cut right will fit both inlets, i just measured mine and got from a local parts store.

I didn't know about the fit cluster. Thanks for the info. Doesn't really matter to me anyway. Racepak came in today!
