Hi
this is my official introduction of my self here on stance works...i am sure alot of you have seen my build threads if u have been on fitreaks or are up in the NW are ..
my name is felix and i am from Vancouver BC Canada ....and this is my 07 honda fit.
2007 - July...got her brand new from the dealer in AUTO format and Sports package.
within a month, we got coilovers custom camber plates,and sport max wheels, JDM tail lights...this was 2007.
then came the first part of the power up grades...
i wanted a stylish looking car...that means some where between sports and VIP...."STYLISH"...it is my daily driver so i need it to be practical....and 86WHP on dyno was just not enough .......so i sourced out a Noblesse body kit from japan, and the first part that came in was the quad tip noblesse exhaust
then since 86WHP was just gay....i went with the T1R turbo Kit....this was the prototype version i got from AJ racing....keep in mind this was still 2007 !...then i made 127whp with it still being AUTO
then xmas 2007....came the complete authentic Noblesse Lux kit for GD3...at that time it was the ONLY one in North America
then to go with the exterior ...i did CF overlay on all the interior trips
New year 2008
we started on the JDM conversion...consist of fenders, hood, head light, rad support, bumper support, bumpers.....it was a big job that i try to do my self ..but FAILED...so later i towed it to the body shop
to fit the JDM fenders...u have to BEND this part
Cut the rad support
hammer this in
then i gave up so i sent it to SAVE ON AUTO BODY in richmond BC
then i ran out of money to paint...so i drove like that for 6 months ....
driving into the sun set
the first prototype of the cowl
then i got the first batch of the WR manifold ...WORST PRODUCT EVER~!
then ....sept 2008....going even further into the hella flush...stance..scene...i decided to do some fender work...keep in mind this was the first stage of my fenders......!!
since FRP fender flares are hellagay....i went with a full metal mold....this was cut out from a EG civic fender
then started with the rear fenders...again..FRP fender flares are gay..we went with full metal conversion..did NOT CUT ANY CORNERS....we even made the doors go wide
and little did u know..JDM honda fit does not come with rear bumper support....but in Canadian road regulartions..all cars must have one...so we made one.
then first stage of the car's exterior was done
then...NEW PAINT ! 07 honda element super charge..USA version only...root beer brown metallic
REAL Mugen trunk mold...i dunno why this sold for $500.....but this was way before anyone made a replica of it...so it was the only way to go
we also custom painted the headlight housing
toying with different headlight ideas
first stage complete
by now...it was summer 2009 !!!!
drove the car for the summer and felt it was not cool enough....so researched into AIR ride kit....thanks for VWVORTEX....i was able to get all my questions answered...and got my self into AIR
2x3 gal tank
2 480C compressor
east street complete digital controller
universal air front bags with megal coilover
mason air rear bags...then replaced with air lift bags
very customer rear bag brackets $1600 just the 2 brackets...fml !
this was due to the fact that...JDM fit suspension was very different...and there werent any kit for usdm fit so we have to custom make the rear brackets...it was cnc, laser cut, and cad design...so $1600 was the bill at the end of the day for the brackets. this was done by outlaw customs
then we cut this much off the front coilover to get the bags sitting low
custom end links
then.....Mason tech rear bags blew up in my face while i was under the car playing with the air ride
then special thanks for OUTLAW Customs...we got the rear down !!
they made the angle brackets ....its a long story...but this was a very clever design
shooting in my garage
my wheels
leon hardriits 16x8 +7 and 16x9.5+5
local photo shoot
at a local meet
then came the custom trunk set up done by BPG Tuning in richmond

short list of parts

tight fit of the motor to the frame

adding some colour....Gold plating and powder coating
crazy racepak
ATS CF clutch
relocated fuse box
preped engine bay for paint by brinksworth customs

tuning on dyno comp dyno ...base tune...8psi..333whp
toda A2 cams
a few shows in 2011
custom TL projector retro fit
then ...mid season of 2011....going hard core into the show scene...thought i can`t go to all the same with a car that looks the same...so i changed it up alittle...this was AUG 2011
brinkworth customs remade the front fenders....this was done properly this time.....all metal and repainted the wheels
they first maped out the curves
