What did you do to your GE fit today?
Believe he got it on the FS section here.
Yes, I did get it in the FS section. It cost the guy $35 to ship it. I got a deal!! I remember in 2009 after I bought my fit the arm rest was like $250+! I feel pretty good. This was one mod I've always wanted! Def a thanks to this website!!
Well, I believe it's time to start piecing together a turbo kit. I want to buy the S/C that Fitted is selling but not sure if that will go through. Any recommendations or tips? I know about the Zage kit, I'm looking into going a different route.
Sucky thing about CA is having to put in a motor thats newer than your chassis in order to stay CARB legal. So if I ever want to put something in my 2013...I'd have to find a 2013 or newer motor...which is big $$$. Fully expect the Fit to last 200k+ so I have an easy 8+ years before I need to worry about any of that.
IF i were to do an upgrade to the motor, it'd probably be the sprintex simply because its bolt on. Still dont think I'd drop that kinda $$ on this car though. Rather save that for a down on another car or home project.

I know I am bummed too! Why does it take 4 days to get tires from your own warehouse?!?!
Very happy with my suspension upgrades. Have revived/renewed my appreciation for this car.
Look forward to it! lol

A little research shows that the Holset HX35 is the best bet for a small displacement engine, such as our Fit's. It's from an OEM Dodge Cummins so it will be more than reliable. I can get a lightly used HX35 for $700, which is not bad. I'd then need a T25->T3 flange adapter, because the turbo kit includes a manifold with a T25 flange. So, for $2200 or so, I can have a very nice setup This makes me happy
It is painful. But it is what I want to do Personally, I've fallen in love with this car and want it to be fast instead of buying something else. I'd love an STI or Evo or M4 but $$$$$$$. $2200 is a drop in the bucket on a lease for a 2017 M4.
Haha you are correct. I'm blessed that my parents are paying for school. Now, I still have an apartment, phone bill, car insurance, and food bill to pay for, but I work full-time over the summer to make up for it. So my priorities are indeed in order.
