I understand but I want to know why? Why a FIT? I have an 08 Fit Sport and can't imagine spending tons of money to make it drive like a WRX. I guess it's a hobby and he has money to burn. More power to him. 
samething when my friend asked me, why am i spending 15k on my s2000....
i can just buy a new M3..

same here, my friends ask my why you spent 25k in the s2000 when you can have a M3 or a fast evo or wrx sti.
my answer. Because the s2k is the car that i WANT to make fast, not just any car, just to be fast.

I really don't care if there is something *newer* *eliter* *faster* *cooler* out there at all.
I'm at the point where you separate from the rat race and just enjoy the car you really like.

Fit wouldve ran him atleast 15k's.
K20Z3: Since its a newer K20, it wouldve ran him at least 7k's for it.
Kpro with K20Z3 ECU: 1500
LSD: 1k
JRSC: 4k
Custom JR Exhaust and header: Going out on a limb but it would run at least 2k for it
Stage 2 axles: 1k
Fast brake front and rear conversion: 2k
Advan RG's: Prices vary so Id say 1500 but thats being generous with show condition RG's
RT-615: 400
Progress Coilover kit: 1k
Total is: 36,400 in parts (roughly)
This is NOT including tuning, any installations payed, or any snags which I would think would run an extra 2-3k. The total lump sum at the lowest has to at least cost him 30,000. I didnt even include the motor mounts from Hasport that took him a YEAR for them to make for him. I'm sure they didn't make it for free. The mounts currently run about 300-500. For the first mounts, I'm sure they cost more.

Pick a number between $25K and 45K, and I can think of plenty of other cars I've rather have. I think Fits are cool, but part of their appeal (to me, at least) is in being a cheap, economical beater.
on your mustang

Everyone and their mother has a wrx or evo with 15k thrown at it. Same thing with almost all popular performance cars both import and domestic. The guy just wanted to be different. And I still doubt he paid 40k. I could build that fit for 20k including the car, then again I do my own work mostly.
