Yea maybe true. Just maybe but the fit would not have the original engine or many other original parts . There is no comparison


As I stated move the trash talk of my fits thread.

This is not a thread about mini vs fit.

This thread is about the mods I put on my car, so please stop

By the way you could go buy an old yugo frame, throw a high hp induction engine and custom fab work and be faster than a mini or fit. It's like comparing apples to oranges

mauler I like the dinoc vinyl. Do you know if they have a carbon kevlar (yellow CF) variety?

Nice progress so far, keep it up. What springs do you have in mind?

Problem though- I'm already rubbing when I hit any significant bump
What's the wheel's width and offset as well as the tire size you are running?

The offset is your problem. Generally speaking, 205s on GD can usually work on a wheel with a +42 or higher offset at stock height and +45 or higher offset when the suspension is lowered to avoid tire rub.

For the front, you could possibly get alway with tucking the fender liner (popping it over the fender's tabs). For the rear, you'd have to shave down the rear bumper's tabs. If that doesn't work, you'll have to do like most dumped members and cut off the tab, drill a hole in another location (closer to the quarter panel) and use a self tapping screw or zip tie.
