Love this so much.
My wife had a 2013 when new and it was just a fantastic little car for the 5 years we had it. The reason why we got out of it was it was a bit too small for a car seat so it got traded in on a then new 2018 Fit. She often says she rather have the Spark and misses having one. We still point them out on the road.
When they dropped this 2nd generation I thought long and hard about getting one but I had no real reason to.

I don't think there's room to do that. You'd have to turn pretty sharp to get there, and the AC lines would still be in the way. You can see the two small SS lines in this pic. What my plan is, is to make a flange extension with two pieces of flat bar with a piece of tubing between them, moving the TB further away from the intake, which you really need to do anyway, because it's pretty tight packaging in there.
The problem was that, in order to fit the bigger TB, I had to move it over a fair bit for clearance on the intake. That put those lines a quarter of the way into TB horn, so the hose to the MAF adapter wouldn't clear. But... looking at it now, I wonder if i could mount it sideways? If I can turn the TB 90 degrees, that might allow the installation to stay inline, and give room from the filter back. I'll have to look at that, maybe today.

Those ones I find kind of funny looking, although they are growing on me, and I have seen some that look OK. Power might not be ideal with the 1.2, if i recall it's about 20hp less than mine... I wouldn't want to give that up.
They are particularly suited to the stance look, or at least lowered on small diameter wheels that poke out a fair bit. As a mid 60's gentleman, I would probably be a little embarrassed to drive around in that, though.
I have said that if I find a cheap one I'll buy it. There's a road course 15-20 minutes from me that runs regular track days and evenings, and I know the guy who runs it. I could totally justify building one to do track days for fun. Of course I would tow it to the track with the 2016
