I'm not looking to race with my fit, I'm looking for a more versitile car then my Civic that will be fun to mod and fit more stuff inside. I know AT will be slower then the MT but I want AT because most of my driving is inside the city, and when I want to have a bit of fun the paddles will be there! Also a lot of my friends have MT so I'm sure if I get the itch I can drive their cars around

As for the race good job! I'm happy to hear that you held your own and beat many other makes of car. Please keep us posted on any other races you have at the track!

Hahaha.. ya.. the Fit is a slow car.. but not as slow as a lot of others that have bigger motors and more power.. I think the Fit can holds its own and does a lot better than most ppl would think.. especially with stock lancers and sentras are running in the high 18-19s..

I think I could've got my time well into the low to mid 16s if the conditions were just right..

I went up against a older muscle car that day.. It looked like I was just puttin along down the track since the other car was running 13s.. haha.

hahaha.. ya it was bad.. I raced an older muscle car and my buddy in his civic thought he had a chance against a copper cobalt SS.. little did he know that the Cobalt was heavily modded and running low 13s as well haha..

cuts eh? starting to get some workers hands i see... I have a fair amount just from workin on my car too.. I think the rear bumper will be much easier.

U feel any difference with the c-pillar bar?

LOL I'm used to bleeding for my car haha..I remember when I gauged my finger with a flat head screwdriver trying to remove the grille...that was a while back, in my P5 days. I can't wait to get everything in...stupid package is STILL stuck in Vancouver...been there since last week Monday!!!

I can't say, I haven't really tested it yet. Everything seems to be the same, but I did notice that there was less understeer when I was driving downtown yesterday...trying to make a few lights going south on 3rd St. and whipped around the 9th Ave. turn pretty quick...stayed in my lane, didn't have to tap the brakes like I usually do when it starts to understeer going from those cobblestones to asphalt. How bout you?
