are the seat rails on that list in stock in u.s.?

 

We will not accept you back into the community unless you send me a Medalion Touring exhaust then everyting will be good.

Some of us will remember the K-cars of the eighties, kinda funny to think thats what I am driving now. LOL

 

sorry for sounding like a newb..
but can you tell me what a K-car is or what it stands for?

 

lol but you arent driving one now. you are driving a sub compact. the fit is a little out of the k-car range and is actually a sub compact.

 

Well I would have never considered it a K-car. But as you see Japan has put us into the K-car class. Are we in the 00's equivilant of the 80's Reliants and Aries? Kind of brings a tear to your eye doesn't it.

Sliver- in the 80's car like Plymouth Reliant and Dodge Aries were refered to as K-cars. Probably just showing my age here.

 

I maybe showing my age also, but an aweful nightmare and sinking feeling came back to me.

 

Yes, we have several of these in stock for the drivers side. They can be picked up through www.more-japan.com or through any of the authorized dealers listed on the "Store Locator" link.

In Japan, the subcompact class of car is commonly called a "K Car" or "Kei Car". There are many periodicals in Japan that use this nomenclature. The "K Car" is originally designated for extremely tiny cars that were exempt from Japanese tax and insurance regulations. These were cars that were even smaller than the Fit-- The Honda Fit is certainly a small car, but is technically not a K-Car in the traditional Japanese definition.

Nowadays, the term has become very popular as a term loosely used for small cars in general.

The Honda Fit is definitely not a 20+ year old Reliant/Aries/other similar Chrysler car.

Please send us money Actually, we don't sell anything to the public, and only through authorized retail stores.

 

Just don't compare it to the turbo Omni or the Shelby Omni...
