For morons and lazy bastards, go and buy you a fast car. I like taking a slow car, and surprising the crap out of people.

For those who who think the fit can be nothing but a fuel econo box, because that is the way they are off the showroom, go away. You obviously don't know anything about cars.

Now, for the skunk2 guys, when are you going to tell us compression and boost psi numbers? I am curious as to what all you had to do.

i fill the same way i hate all these guys coming on here telling us were wasting our time trying to do performance mods on the fit they need to mind there own business i have one and i have had 2 civics and the fit is my favorite so far just needs some hop ups and were working on that
ps grate job skunk2 love it now get that sleeved block we did for you in there already

im really impressed that skunk2 decided to go with the stock 1.5 instead of the k20 swap. really shows they are confident in their tuning abilities. for skunk2

Thanks for the good words!

[Blue-Civic-Hybrid]

I can't wait to see the gains and all the new parts that Skunk2 has proven with this little experiment...

I gotta buy a Fit!

[jaydm73]

+1 on using the 1.5 engine

I guess the L15 is proving to be a good engine in it's own rights. I wonder what chassis mod's you guys have done to stiffen the structure, was this taken care of by a roll-cage or are you guys referring to something else ? Everything you guys have done to the car thus far looks top notch. I just want to see the final numbers to the wheels after the modifications. You guys rock.

[pos_cd5]

screw the numbers, i want to hear some kill stories

[Chester Rumble]

I missed the last episode as well. Anyone know the outcome as well as the horsepower the Fit was putting down?

I don't get the scoring for lap times. The fit had the fastest lap but got the least amount of points.

[Unsivil_audio]

please please....hi res shots, I need a new desktop.

That car is amazing. I love it.

[JDMorgan]

sweet car. i saw one show and it looks like you did a pretty sweet job with all of the fab work. if s2 still hasn't released their rear disc kit im pretty sure fast brake sells one.

[maxrev beater ^_^]

Saw the skunk2 blue Fit at Primedia Time Attack. It had problems though, the engine blew up and/or caught fire. Someone had it on video, as the car was entering buttonhook (slowest section of the track) there was an explosion and a bit of flames under the car. I don't think the car posted any lap times. It looked pretty fast on the straights when it did run. The blank Si Coupe failed to posted any lap times too, what is up with them... the brought three cars out, none did decent lap times.

[Rednas]

doesnt look bad at all, they are finnaly grwing on me. But I dont think its something I would ever buy.
