Stock for stock the fits faster from what i have seen. but just by about 1/4 of a car.

[PETERPOOP]

From what you've seen....

[kou]

even Road and Track say the yaris is faster.the yaris is around 200lbs lighter than the fit(so we can call it, the not so Fit.)

My friend has a 06 fit with axleback,intake, and crank pulley. i'm going to race him soon and i'll show you guys whos faster via video!

Yeah, as much as i love Richard designing the mani for our cars, I'm surprised he hasn't hit up the other markets. I'm sure the fit and other eco cars have plenty of members willing to drop $$ on this piece.
Just let us know when our piece is finished, so we know who/when to pay.

A million dollars WOULD cover it.

richard, you mentioned making extras correct? i dont want to miss my chance on a manifold. im in the gb for the midrange but idk if it will be made or not :(

[richardholdener]

Extras will be made of the intake but the midrange intake will only be produced if suffficient interest exists (minimum of 10 orders.) I wouldn't wait, just get this intake since it looks like there will be a sell out.

ya thats what im getting at. i want to get this one instead of mission out on it, i just want to make sure you will be making some extras because unfortunately i cannot commit at this time because of the short notice (i just joined here not too long ago) but will try my best to come up with the money.

[PETERPOOP]

he stated that there will be more than 13 made on this first production run so add yourself to the list baby!@

[mikenacarato]

im just worried about having the extra 700 by the end of the month... but what the heck..what else will i spend my bonus on?

add me to the high end list please

[PETERPOOP]

5 more then we get group buy price. correct?

[TheRealEnth]

o.0 How much would group buy price be?

[PETERPOOP]

i am pretty sure richard said if we got 20 buyers, we'd get 50$ off.

I think its great that Richard is designing us an intake, sadly I've been on too many forums like Altimas net seen intakes being made by "" pros" tuning on dyno's and in the end the gains are very limited unless you are boosted or pumping a much larger volume of air. Almost always you loose somewhere in the rpm range. You may dyno an extra 5 hp at 6000 rpm but you can end up with less hp under the curve. I would strongly reccomend you get a a/f meter to make sure your not running dangerously lean after doing a full intake system. I like the fact he is trying to offer two differently tuned intakes. Toyota spent a lot of time designing the manifold to be the best compromise of torque hp and drivability. I look forward to seeing some real world dyno's when people get them, on a plus, the bling factor of a tuned custom intake is priceless.

I dont listen to what mags say...I find most blow things way out and elaborate to attract readers. This is what happen. Two weeks ago at our local
let out show. 08 Fit and 08 Yaris line up raced to 80mph... FIT WON by 1/4. Changed drivers (Fit driver in Yaris and vise versa) Line up race again...It was closer but the FIT still took the win. I kno the Yaris is lighter but maybe the Fit might be geared better i dont kno (By the way gearing is just as improtant as having Hp, suspension and all that other stuff. Its not all about the engine) ... But watever it is the Fit won. Driver race maybe. I am tellin you wat i seen and not on some paper cause that does not always equal real world results.
