Default Honda Fit with a K20A engine and other upgrades...

I have seen the Mugen Dynamite Fit. It looks incredible. I'm sure it handles incredibly, too.

Can someone guesstimate the cost to mod the Fit to that extent?

Just curious.

You'd need custom brackets, or at least bracket conversions, like the ones from Hasport for the DC2/EK/EG chassis. If you contact Hasport w/ a proposal of being the prototype car for their bracket kit development, I'm sure you'd get it for free. Not sure on wiring, etc. since the Fit's not even out yet. There's not enough info right now to provide a total cost estimate with any accuracy or validity (will axles swap, or will u need custom, wiring ease/difficulty, etc.).
I think an mk1/2/3 Mini w/ a K20A powertrain converted to RWD is more of a sleeper tho...and ppl are doing those already.

It would be expensive Mugen (can't remember the new name) had to shift the firewall to get the K20 to fit.

Just don't pick on my spelling errors because that is a full time job. I can not type and look at the screen at the same time and am too lazy to spell check for the board.
That one drives me crazy!
Regardless = without regard to
Irregardless = without without regard to = regards
