There are so many cars on HT and the like with NASA/SCCA/FIA spec cages FIA seats blah blah blah and still NEVER use them. Car would look good painted black or white on normal 15 or 16s.

i put up HIN fit because the thread on honda tech said HIN. oh well haha

I can sympathize and completely understand where you are coming from, as I catch the same sort of flack for my 1999 Honda Civic DX Hatchback. However, you seem to think extremely highly of yourself given the following statement:

I think my car as a stepping stone to see what a "FIT" can become, maybe not the same color or flare that i put in mines. The car is my personal taste and not someone elses. I've been working on EK's for the last 5 years and parts are a lot more abundant.
Which leads me to believe you think you're an "originator and not a duplicator".... but I hate to inform you that there's MANY respectable Honda Fits upon this forum that were heavily modified long before yours ever came into the scene. Again there is absolutely no disrespect intended, as I can definitely appreciate your eye for detail, and all the hard work and money that has went into the vehicle.

It's very hard for Fit's to place in shows only because there is no class and not many enter. Honda S2000's usually win over the Fit's. Unless your Fit can overdo the S2000's with mods, then you won't win jack.

yeah, maybe.
I know there are many other fits in the game, I do follow the scene pretty close.

As for HIN and car shows, my main purpose of entering is exposure and helping my sponsors, N1 concepts and ChaseBays.
But, at HIN LA, i won 3rd place performance vehicle 2000+, and at HIN SM, I won Hottest Unlimited Honda.
Like i said earlier, there's no audio setup in the car, not even a deck.
Plus, we meet many new people and Fit enthusiasts. I believe i had a chat with another fitfreak at the San Mateo show about the car.

Hope to post a more detailed build thread later.
thanks

who gives a flying **** about how he spends his money, leonard is a dumbass that likes to blow money on his cars, same with the other people on this board trying to make their sohc fit "fast", at least he has a motor with potential

the car might not be your style, you might not like his POLISHED parts, you might think he doesn't race the damn thing, who cares, he surely doesn't care about your opinion, you're nobody to us, we're pioneers in this industry, we know the ins and outs and everybody that is somebody in this industry

after all, can you say you have 4 magazine cover features? i dont think so

whoa...sorry there cool guy, slow your roll. its just a difference in opinion, no need to tell someone they arent as "worthy" as you because they dont take car building as serious as some other people do. some people dont have the money or desire to do it.

I LOVE Leonards car. I have liked every car he has built. why though would you call out people on this board who are potential customers of N1? Your attitude in response to what someones opinion was is RIDICULOUS. I have had quite a few features and have had a cover as well. Ive been doing this since 1991.WHO THE HELL CARES. That doesnt mean anything to someone who doesnt like the car. it wont change their mind. Leonard does things for Leonard,thats all that matters. just like all his friends do the same. Fortune could care less what someone thinks of his car, just as the Tjins could care less. Everyone knows i dont care what ppl say about our car either so.............why insult someones opinion? It just brings you down to the same level. Im kinda sad to see a post like this from a shop I like. Makes me not want to give N1 business and im not even the guy your yelling at.

i just wanted to add that the comment "your nobody to us" is what made me post. fitfreak as a whole should be everything to you since everyone here is a potential customer. am i right? feel free to hate if you feel the need. Im not saying this to be rude.

Tough guy eh? Im glad your so good at buying parts from japan and putting them on a car only to have it sit ebrake pulled and to roll around to meets. "Pioneer" all you want. If my opinion doesnt matter to you then why get all butt hurt?

I guess multiple National championships and racing on a professional level makes my team "nobody"

Oh and I guess you should go tell all the Honda Challenge H4 H5 ITA cars who have been racing for years that they have motors with no potential.

I wasnt tryign to offend anyone just putting my OPINION out there. I wont EVER be buying from you and im sure you just many more customers with your actions

It's ok.... as I never would have actually purchased anything from them regardless. For a company that's only been around since 2003, they've not only got a half assed working website, but they're also "pioneers".... in reproducing knock-off parts, but oh wait.... PasswordJDM beat them to that many moons ago. I guess at the end of the day selling reproduction JDM Honda Fit taillights that either don't work correctly, or leak makes you a "somebody".
