We ran ours in 2006 and 2007 SuperLapBattle. First K20A Fit in USA before Brian @ Hasport finished his kit heh. But for 2012 we are going to be running a USDM GD3 LHD.

Well, I'm the driver for N1 Concepts in SLB 2006 and 2007. I guess I should write up a retrospective on 2007 on why it was a failure. :-)

I was not involved with the build up of the yellow K20A Fit at all. It was entirely built by Norman Tong and Johnny Ngo, and the rest of the N1 Staff.

If you mean the 4 wheel in the air photo... that was staged. The car was on jack stands and they clean it up with photo shop afterwards... The 3 wheel flying Civic in my avatar is real though, and I did do that.

So my reality is shattered that they would do that...after it was such an epic revisit to the first SS printed with the integra in the air...that civic hatch in the air is an amazing recovery...like i bet you changed your drawers after you was done amazing.

A lot of cover shots are chopped/edited nowadays. They always add fake smoke, flames, backgrounds, etc.

lol have I got a story for you..

so I got the call monday that my fit was all ready to be picked up. so i leaped for joy! i already told my buddy to get the trailer ready for when he calls.

well... I then asked how much should I bring... WOW. I guess you get what you pay for. the fit is ready, just not my bank account... I told him to hold it there until friday, ill have the money then and live off of ramen noodles or some shit for 2 weeks haha.

I was budgeting 1k max. it is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY over that. just sayin.

Is that just for the exhaust you had done?? or was that including other work?

That seems like a lot for just a custom fab exhaust if that's what it was.

Didn't they give you an estimate? It's not cool if they are over the projected price too much. That's not right. They should get your authorization before performing additional work... But way over, it sounds like $1000 turn into $1500 or more??

+1 on that...i mean a 3' exhaust for as long of a run as they did, thats kinda steep. Typical tyler tho...overpriced under-achievers...everybody wants too much for what they got. like a 6th gen civic ex coupe with like 180k and they asking 6k for it...BESH PLEASE!!!
