Why put a K20 into it along with all the other modifications for it to work coherent with the rest of the car (brakes, suspension, tranny, etc) when you could have just bought a Civic Si and kept your warranty? Just my 2 cents.
Well, where the fun and challenge in that?

Yeah, I know. I told myself and the wife that I was not going to do anything to the Fit..... Less than a month into ownership, the windows have been tinted, Stereo system installed, Bug Bra added, Wheels on order, Lowering springs in the trunk, etc... Mostly just apperance stuff, and sound. Only thing I want to do for performance is add a Intake (mostly for improved MPG's) and if I can find a axle back exhaust that does not sound like ass, and not have a tip so big the Fit itself could fit into.

I traded in a 2004 Subaru WRX for the Fit. When I need my speed fix, I jump on my motorcycle.
