not an NSX owner (yet) so heres my fit

[kelsodeez]

whats up. my name is kelso. i am actively looking for a 91 nsx to have some fun with. i bought a fit a couple years ago and its a really fun car to whip around the twisties where i live but now i want something with a little more potential- power wise. so my search begins here. there is some good info on these boards. i have much to absorb. in the meantime, check out my fit :biggrin:

 

[DrVolkl]

Coolest Fit I've seen yet. I think you'll fit in well here...looks like the mod bug/go fast crack pipe already has a hold on you.
:smile:

 

[kelsodeez]

thanks man, yea it kind of hit me hard. hahaha. i love my fit. its like a little go kart but im ready to step into something a little more classy and start building an nsx.

 

[Olyar15]

Another Fit owner. Those are great little cars. I love mine.

 

[DrVolkl]

My wife and I love the Fit... but we needed more room, so we got an Odyssey instead. I was going to mod it a bit, but I'm trying to focus on my other toys instead.

 

[kelsodeez]

can you spot the one part that is from an nsx on my car? haha thats an easy one. but yea, i love my fit. they are pretty slow stock. my baseline dyno was at 98 bhp. slow as balls. but after i put my turbo on and a few other things, i got it up to 174 bhp. mind you, this is in a car that weighs a butt hair over 2200 lbs. i have the same 0-60 time as a stock NA1.

post your build details, components/boost-run/costs!

If I ever got a Fit, I'd do everything you did w/o a doubt!

(other than the Volk rims, booo! ADVAN, FTW... )

Can't I.D. it at this mo' (mebbe' thinking the NSX-R horn-button/bezel/trim-ring thingie?), but you should've acquired an OEM exhaust-tip finisher from an '91-'94 NSX... the epitome of Keepin' IT R-E-A-L...

haha i have some mugen rnr's but i am waiting on some 10MM spacers because the spokes wont fit over the calipers. my muffler is off an ap1. my car is kind of a honda frankenstein hahaha.

dude, odysseys in japan are badass!! i hate the tall american versions. i would love to have a jdm spec odyssey. or have you seen the new van based off the fit called the stream? its pretty nice

 

[PhiAlpha44]

I like the Fit. Looks good. Good mods. Probably a really fun car. Good luck in your search. Did you skip right over an S2000?

 

[synth19]

cute. :tongue:

yea, s2k's dont really excite me the same way an nsx does. ive driven a few modded ap1's and i wasnt impressed. i drove my buddys na1 in high school and ever since then, ive been in love with the car. i was actually going to build a datsun 240z with a rb26dett swap but if i did that, i wouldnt have anymore hookups and i wouldnt have any sponsors so, im sticking with honda.

rice-alerttt...

eagle hi/lo HID kit

Ok, so you spent (ballpark guess) at least $10k-$15k on your 'build'/project w/o short-cuts/compromises... yet you threw on after-market plug-&-play HID's on OEM/stock halogen-based reflector-headlights w/o doing a proper projector retrofit which would've cost a few hundred at most? I take back my previous comment/compliment!

Explain yourself, sir!

(If I'm mistaken & inaccurate w/ my observation, all apologies in-advance!)

 

[mugen_kid]

Nice, I love the fits. What steering wheel are you running? Thanks for sharing and welcome!

haha okay okay, you got me. im a ricer in disguise. hahaha. no, actually here is the story of my HID'S. the first picture, was before i had really done anything to my car. i had rota slipstreams, the 6000k pnp lights and thats about it. they were okay. not alot of glare. but then i did the jdm front end conversion and i bought some hi/low eagle HID'S in 4000k. but there was just wayyyyy too much glare in the jdm headlights due to more plastic chrome in them. so right now i have halogens on my car but i have already ordered the japanese headlights that are made for HID'S (non projector). the retrofits look weird on the fit. it makes them look like a ford focus.

 

[kelsodeez]

Nice, I love the fits. What steering wheel are you running? Thanks for sharing and welcome!

thats the nardi deep corn. i love it. such a nice feel to it. i will probably end up putting a nardi in when i get my nsx. its my favorite wheel.

 

[mugen_kid]

Thanks, I just realized you have a mod list just like two post above mine. I should of looked closer:biggrin: I love that wheel for sure, may be my next purchase.

is it weird that i only like suede aftermarket steering wheels in nsx's?

 

[Big_D]

Welcome! :smile:

Wow, you have sure dumped alot of dough on that thing. Looks pretty cool though. Thats the only bad thing about the NSX, so many sic mods to spend big dollars on and the challenge is exercising some self control and not breaking the bank. I try to curb my spending which is difficult.

Good Luck on your search!

Another Fit owner. Those are great little cars. I love mine.

Blackberry! Sweet! That's my favorite color on those.

 

[skynet0419]

Holy crap thats a lotta mods :biggrin:

I love the Fit, im planning on getting one sooner or later for my daily driver/gas saver

looking at all those mods tho...i hope i don't go crazy and start down that path again :smile:

So does that beast pass smog?

 

[kelsodeez]

So does that beast pass smog?

yes and no. it will pass smog with the cat on it but it may not pass visual because ive been having some problems with my map sensor and my car throws a barometric pressure sensor code resulting in a check engine light. if i dont go over 2lbs of boost after resetting my ecu, it stays off. but once it goes over 2lbs, it comes on. also, i dont know if they would notice my open element dump pipe. that wouldnt pass visual.
