My Honda Fit Getting Grocery!

Solo, partial downhill in a white Fit sport using the paddle shifters. Single lane and easy pace. 3rd downhill run on this course.

More understeer than usual, maybe because front tire pressure was 5 PSI higher than the rear.

Braked early for the turn at 0:35. I messed up on the last turn. Not a good run.

100% stock. I used the passenger headrest to secure the camcorder.

The Fit is slow in a straight line if that's what you mean but it corners pretty fast because it only weighs 2,500 pounds. Plus, I was driving pretty fast, so I doubt the average person could've kept up with me even in a Mustang GT or Accord V6 etc.

@willryder5 WHY? thats all I'm gonna ask. The only time you really even see paddle shifters is for tip-tronic automatic transmissions. And even on some high end cars their not mounted on the steering wheel side, but the opposite making anything shy of straight line runs a bit more fun and not even.

really 2500lbs? i would not have thought that much. My Scion xB shy of snow plowing at times even shod with 215/50/15 Falken RT615s weighed just under 2473 and I did put it on a slight diet. i doubt i removed a 100lbs though in honesty. Now my 92 EG hatch weighed in at an astounding 2094lbs full of fluids and A/C. I removed over 234lbs of weight from it making it a very FUN CAR !! just not going over an over pass at 3 digits passed semi trailers.. you really learned what light was then.

@willryder5 its certainly possible but definitely not practical and be prepared to pay a pretty penny.

[willryder5]

anyone ever heard of a paddle shifter for a 99 civic HB? if so hit me up i'd like to install one on mine

is this on rt 1?

[immortal4942]

37psi front and 34 psi rear should reduce understeer.
