A meet would be nice. What part of SD do you reside? I've been busy so much so that I havent had time to meet up lol. Next month, I'll try to go to the OC meet for sure.

Where do you auto-x? Would love to watch sometime!

Just saw this. It's been a while since I fit back in here.

I live in Northpark. What about you? I'm gonna try to get to the OC meets as well. The Cerritos one is awesome by the way.

Qualcomm has AutoX pretty regular. Like once a month almost. Check out the schedule online. That and El Toro are the closest to us.

Nice progress and setup! If you ever want to pick my brain on AutoX suspension setup (that was where 99% of my time $$$$ and effort went) shoot me a PM!!!

When I head down to the 2015SCCA Solo National Tour at Qualcom or the El Toro Pro Solo (most likely) we will have to meet up!!!

Sounds good thanks for the offer.

I believe the last El Toro event is this weekend. Kind of a bummer and I hope I get a chance to race it this week. The Fit has been in the shop for a bit.

Waiting for the WR race header and the custom high for cat.

Decided to say hell with it and put this on in the meantime.

Are you going to wrap the WR race header? Still undecided if I should wrap mine. Just waiting for my b-pipe to install everything together.

Are you going to build the high flow cat to the race header?

Did the TR1 mid-pipe come with a gasket for the front of the car?

This is a Megan Racing midpipe. T1R was unavailable. This is also a 2 1/4" rather then the T1R 2". And yes it came with all hardware and gasket.

We're waiting to see how the set-up looks when we get everything in. Most likely it will not be on the header but on the midpipe section close to the original location.

Nice! I was actually thinking about that as well, but after reading that it will void warranty I reconsidered just wrapping it for now. I'm currently running a Strup header with ceramic coating and heat wrap.

Yeah they are awesome. I got them on Ebay and did a "make offer" price. Got a great deal on all 3.

I can't believe I missed this thread and never read about it. That is one bad-ass Fit. Nice Roller!

Thanks Myxalplyx.

I have to update it with some videos and new parts. We'll see if I get a chance this week to do so.

Filled my rear h-beam bushing today.

Had to remove all the suspension connecting and have the h-beam floating to get to the bushings. The GD is a pain to do this at least the way I did it.

Oh I see I was going to do the similar setup but just cut out the test pipe from the race header and weld the magnaflow high flow cat to it. From what weapon-r told me is that the piping is 2.5" and there is an univeral magnaflow high flow cat that's 2.5". I called this one place to see how much a custom 2.5" full catback with resonator and custom muffler would be and they quoted me $1000 max.

DAMN YOU CALIFORNIA EMISSION LAWS!

The Vibrant race cat is better then the Magnaflow from what i'm reading. It has less cells in the cat for better flow. I'm not worked about emissions since the race is pretty much used for the track. It will be smoged before the new exhaust setup and tune.
