Thought i would introduce myself over here... my name is John, and i am on the lookout for an S2K...

right now i own a 2008 Fit, and while its a great car and fun to autocross, i want something more, so an S2K is in my future.. just need to find the right one.. i want white with all black, or black/red interior.... but since that seems like a pain in the butt to find, i'd also settle for a red with all black interior.



So.. hello!

 

Hey dude! how do you like the fit for pickup and handling??? ..i just saw an 08 in that purplish color at the auto show here in philly the other day, and i really want one! ..hopefully you checked out the FS threads

 

Well, it doesn't do much for 'pickup'... haha! Its slow, i'll give it that. The fastest i was able to get it to run at the track was an 18.2 or something like that...

However, at the autocross is a completely different thing.

I only have run it twice, but in the first autocross i was running it in HStock, and placed first in class, and my PAX score put me 23rd out of 108. I was pulling faster times than most of the cars out there even without PAX on my side...

The next autocross, i added a rear anti-sway bar, and threw on some Buddy Club wheels and some KDW tires (biggest mistake ever), and then ran it in STS instead of Hstock... well, i was able to place 2nd with it in STS with tires that kept getting worse and worse... it sucked. I honestly could have gone faster on the stock tires... it was THAT bad. KDW tires are horrible auto-x tires. But anyway, because i was in STS, my PAX for that event placed me 46th out of 125 drivers... still not bad. The guy i placed 2nd to also happened to be the East and West Central Florida STS Champion for 2007, and he rarely loses... i lost to him by only 1.88 seconds with crappy tires and stock suspension other than the sway bar....

So in all, i think that the Fit is MORE than capable in autocrossing, especially if your courses are not power-dependant necessarily...


I did check out the classifieds, but since i am financing the Fit right now, and want to trade it in, i need to find something at a dealership.... i'm a patient person.. haha! The worst that'll happen, is that i'll be 'forced' to autocross the Fit one more time in STS, but this time with slightly better tires... haha!

But hey, i'll sell you mine
