That's awesome, im on here cause my father owns a fit. He said it was down on power, i told him k-series. He was thinking about it down the road but its hard to find any info on that swap. I think my friend can put together a harness for me. Thanks. Anymore pics of your swap?
Heres a pic of her. Specs on wheels are 15x8 +36.

that should be more then enough info in those two threads to get you started down the road of k-swap. That is if your actually serious about doing the swap.

Started to take apart the Fit's driver side, front door panel to see were the source of a rattle was. I pull the arm rest's lower trim and see that the door's "plastic skirt" (keeps moister out and slight sound deadening) was gone... I removed the passenger sides the same and see that its still there. Damn body shop may not have put the driver's door panel skirt back in.
Going in to investigate more with DSLRs in hand.

The driver's door panel is back on and the plastic cover/skirt is indeed missing. Going to keep snapping pics of the various mistakes and likely E-mail them to the shop's manager telling them how dissatisfied I am finding this (and other stuff but that's a long story) screwed up on.
On the brighter side of things, I finally got around to putting some foam window/door seal weatherstripping that I picked up from Lowes's around the door panel, speaker surround and on the top of the door itself (that meets with the top of the door panel). So far it seemed to get rid of the rattling that happens when a heavy bass line hits... didn't get rid of my other rattle though (happened after the body shop).
If anyone wants a DIY on removing/installing door panels and maybe getting rid of bass rattle from the door panels with factory speakers (once I'm done with all four doors) let me know.

Cool. Why's your fit make that little bit of power? Friends old k24a2 em1 made 26xwhp with stock cams on e85 through a shitty dc header and 2.5 exhaust.
#5094
well im on 92 octane not E85 and the biggest thing is I need to replace the TSX intake cam gear with the Type-S one I have laying around. I can then get the car re=tuned and take full advantage of the cams I have in the car.
#5095
Cleaned in all the doors and hatch, vacuumed and detailed the interior, Used some trim cleaner and protectant on all the black trim and started cleaning up the engine bay for the first time EVER since new. Took a quick shot of the engine bay that looks the same and 80% of the other cars on here. But hey, why not.
#5096
Tore out and apart my headlights and painted the panelling black! Car's finally starting to look the way I want it. I'll post pictures maybe soon... (oh, and found the weather strip sealant for $0.15/strip! Bought a whole pad for $2.21 and only used about two thirds of it!)

A couple of pics from yesterday's shenanigans. A D.I.Y. for the front should be up next Saturday when I get the new plastic cover/skirt in and install it, the rear should be up that day as well.
This is what is supposed to be seen behind the front door panel (IE the white plastic)...

This is what I seen on a perfectly good door that had its panel removed for paint blending. -.-
DSC_2766.jpg?t=1333863116
And another shot with the panel off.

On the brighter side of things, I did get the passenger front door and door panel done. Basically what I did was stick the weather stripping around the perimeter of were the door panel touches the door and the speaker's "plastic ring enclosure"...
DSC_2772.jpg?t=1333863249
...then stuck more stripping on the inside perimeter on the door panel.
