Nagisa Auto Gacchiri Support
I plan on buying a fit in the near future, and wanted to autox it as well.
do you think there will be noticeable differences with a Fender Brace (Gacchiri Support) installed? i was reseaching hardcore on chassis reinforcement mods.

From what I've read about fender braces, they help with turn in quite a bit and most reviewers said that they were a very worthwhile mod.
As for them on the fit, I wouldn't really know. Haven't heard any opinions on it, although, I think A-J have them on their fit.

Re: (troppop)
I don't think they are going to have THAT dramatic of an effect...but, I could be wrong.
I've not experienced any lack of turn-in ability that I thought was fault to a weak body or suspension. The tyres seem to be the weak point and would definitely help in an auto-x

The tires are definitely the weak point for the stock car. They should absolutely be the first change for anyone autocrossing the Fit even close to seriously.
To the OP... keep in mind that adding something like those fender braces will bump you to a street modified class (I think). If they're the only reason your car is in that class, you'll be way overmatched by cars actually prepared for the class.
On the other hand, a lot of people will probably say, "it doesn't matter because no one will know they're installed, and I won't tell them." Please don't do that. The classifications are part of the sport and are intended for everyone to follow. The "it's my job to cheat and their job to catch me" attitude isn't part of the deal. Anyway... if this doesn't apply to you, never mind.
Honestly, if you want to be competitive in autocross and get to know the car better, get better tires and leave everything else stock for a while.
