Or seen one?

or is it a bad idea?

 

If you mean Auto X, talk to mrFroge (Central CA SCCA Stock-class B-Segment Champion 2008-09) and macbuddy, both on fitfreak.net.

 

I did this as well on a road course several times. It's quite fun with paddle shifters but our CVT transmission in Europe can't handle a lot of power. 120 hp seems to be the maximum, so it's not really suited for racing. Other than that, it's a great drive and I'll do this again in summer.

 

I wouldn't do it on multiple occasions without a trans cooler, at least if you intend to keep the car for a long time. I'd probably do a trans fluid change with ATF-Z1 before and after the track day as well if it were my car.

Due to its complexity, an automatic transmission is usually the weakest point in any car and is one of the most expensive components to repair or replace. However, unlike the '99-04 Odysseys and '98-02 Accord V6es and 4-cylinders, Fits haven't proven to have problematic transmissions thus far - so a used transmission from a salvage yard seems to be a safe bet at this point and is usually the cheapest solution to an automatic transmission failure.

 

I know in ITE SCCA you cant run an auto tranny. I dont know about anyother classes or organizations.

 

a buddy of mine use his 08 fit in autocross events..i agree with traga, not a good idea if its your daily...haha..other then that his car woops on my ls integra all day.we can switch cars and i do better in the fit then the integra.

 

i've taken it to a track day once. kept up with sti and corvette in the turns, then got out of their way on the straights haha

the SCCA didnt say anything to me about having an auto..

 

ITE is a road racing class for sanctioned competition events, and one in which you wouldn't be running a stock Fit anyway. The original poster isn't looking to race or be competitive, he's just looking to run at some open track days or HPDEs. Most (if not all) non-competitive driving events will allow cars with automatic transmissions.

 

my honda fit automatic transmission fails to auto shift what is the problem, this car was a victim of last december typhoon sendong (washi) it function when it was added with transmission fluid but suddendly stop functioning.
