Honda Tuning Picks up a 09 Fit and Wants your Help!

Was just in the book store this evening and picked up the latest copy of Honda Tuning. It appears that Honda Tuning has just picked up a new 09 fit and wants readers to chime in and give some ideas of how to tune it.

I did not buy the magazine, but they did list an email address as to where they want you to email your ideas. Sorry I have thus forgotten it, but if some one else has the latest Honda Tuning Mag maybe they could post it up?

I agree, but to be honest I am more interested in seeing what our little engine can do. I read an article on their website and they refer to the Fit as an EF civic for our generation, and I could not agree with them more!

I want to see BOOST like the HKS system for the GD. I would be all over one, once my warranty is over.

All this car needs is better wheels, drop and 200+ HP

On a GD not a GE, but you get the point. I have heard that a ITB set up takes tons of tuning to get right thought.

I hope they do modifications that people can actually afford. Please don't do K series swaps.

I'm sure it can be done, but I would think an ITB setup would be hard to do with DBW.

exactly, who in their right mind would spend 7-10k to put a motor swap in a car that cost 15-18k

Id like to see a nice bolt on supercharger kit that requires minimal tuning, hell 3-5psi would make me happy.

WoW! I posted this thread first and now my post has gone away and this one has been left - hum? Is it because I am a girl??? Gez and I even subscribe to the mag, read the article and posted the link so people could send their ideas but this thread was left and mine has gone bye bye. OK - it's not personal it's just a forum.
