i'll buy one if honda bring the fit to the USA. 
drop the K20A in there and you're all set!
K20A aka DC5-type R, 1998cc, 260 hp, 8800 rpm.....wondering if the FIT is as light as the CRX.

I did some homework and to get the specs to the Dynamite Fit from Mugen, it'll be around $30000 CAD on TOP of the car.

Yup, North America is getting the Fit. I've already put down a deposit on my and it will either be here in November or in February, the don't know. But with a MSRP of around $13000 CAD, it's hell of a deal. I did some homework and to get the specs to the Dynamite Fit from Mugen, it'll be around $30000 CAD on TOP of the car.
the question is do you want 3 Honda FIT or 1 Honda FIT all with mugen mods.

I did some pricing yesterday, with Mugen's MSRP on the Way + kit, because they make like 3 kits for it. (a front lip, front bumper, and half bumper). Well like I said, with the kit, CFRP hood, some other exterior stuff, header, exhaust, coils, struts and some J's Racing suspension stuff plus 4 15" NR wheels with tax and paint costs roughly $10000 CAD with no shipping.
With that in mind, a Mugen balanced K20A, like my friend's costed around $9000 CAD. Labor and some interior stuff will get you to around $30000.
It's more like, do you want 3 Honda FIT's or 1 Honda FIT that can kill the S2k at the dragstrip and the track???

I personally wouldn't bother with too much of the Mugen stuff for the Fit, but for sure, the K20 is worth swapping in to make a super hot hatch.
maybe some mugen mods and mostly DC5 type R parts in the FIT....K20A complete swap and suspension and interior. if it's a bolt-on fit. and off course the S2K's digi gauge cluster.
