New Fit Freak!

New Fit Freak!
I thought it was high time I make an account, and say hello!
Purchased an 08’ FS a couple months ago and have been planning exactly what to do with it. I will be leaving the L15 alone for the next month but will modify everything else (plan on starting a build thread shortly). Reason being, I’d rather just drop a k series in her if I want the power! This car is currently just a fun daily when the Vancouver weather doesn’t let me drive the other toys.
Nice community here from what I’ve gathered, reminds me of the good times back on s2ki! That being said I look forward to contributing where I can!
cheers,
Scott

K swaps are over rated in my honest option for a street car. Having to bay 2 to 3 grand just for a harness THEN another 4 to 5 or more for the actual swap makes no sense to me. FI would be the better bang for buck in that case.
Doing 1 step colder plugs (Denso IK22s are the go to), Hondata Flash Pro and simple bolt ons is enough to make the L-series a bit more fun and lively (not K series power of course). Depending on modifications, fuel, tune and transmission you could end up around the 105 to 112 WHP mark from the stock 85 to 90 WHP with a LOT better throttle response.

Previous car’s of mine are the main reason for the consideration. I know if I start to modify the L15 it will escalate to boosting it which ruins all the reliability I love. My container arrives this weekend so i’ll be able to throw coilovers, wheels, wheel, short shifter, sway bars on and see just how fun these cars can be. I steered away from anything power related until I research and decide some more!
any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
