Question concerning Corbeau, as I was about to pull the trigger on a bucket and bracket. Is the stamped base too flexible to get consistent seat feel when chasing tenths or is it dangerously flexible, something you wouldn’t trust? I’ll only be using it for spirited driving but my mtn’s corners still have you really trying to hold yourself upright in the oem seats.
Thank you again for all of the support and for all the work put into showcasing my car like this. It's been fantastic working with you and I'm looking forward to sharing the Lime Rock results once I'm back home and have a chance to go through my notes and video. Things went very, very well and the car is feeling the best it ever has.
@@reshinguneko2355 I believe David touched the loaded rear tire on the grass and that's what caused the spin, it was crazy quick. Also not the first time I've seen that separation happen, the stock sheet metal is just spot welded in place. Stitch welding the chassis for track use isn't a bad idea.
Cant wait for the GE HR cover plate. I just swapped my HR shifter from my L15 GD to my GE & put the BuddyClub into the GD. Since I've got a K24 GD now I'm going to be selling my L15 GD. If anyones interested in a clean title '07 Sport with tasteful mods including full header back exhaust, custom CAI, BuddyClub shifter, FlashPro etc etc hmu.
the shifter is so nice on my GD, same unit I think. the adjustability and feel with the 130r knob is great. I use longest throw on both adjustable pieces and soft spring.
Fun fact, orangeburst metallic was only available in 2012 and only on the sport trim. I've got the same one in manual! The other limited color for the post-facelift second gens, Blue Raspberry Metallic, was available 2012/2013 and on both base/sport trims
@@xplotion283 pretty basic setup. FA500 coilovers, Cobalt brake pads with racing brake fluid, Konig wheels and Falken RT660 (class tire), Progress rear sway bar, and an aggressive alignment.
've been going back and forth between a ge8 and a fiesta st for a dd (and to possibly dip my toe into the sundae cup). The fit just seems like such a solid unit. I had an 89 wagovan and absolutely loved it with coilovers, tires and brakes, if the fit is anything like that....the fiesta st may be less appealing.. What happened with the off? seemed like a total loss of grip in the rear?? I hope you absolutely rip it in the sundae cup for the rest of the year, I''ll be rooting for you on the stream! *For the fit/sundae cup guys and gals, is there a specific year of ge8 that does not have vsc from the factory?*
I owned a Fiesta ST before I sold it and bought my GE now. In my opinion, just get the GE Fit. The power of the ST is cool and all; But, the overall build quality, cost of ownership, and ease of maintenance of the Fit is just much better. But, try them both out for sure and see what you like more.
@@lynnmckenney1987 don't think the ST is allowed in SC because of boost. The GE is a fantastic chassis, but it does not allow for rear camber adjustment while the GD chassis does. That said, the GE is still very capable and in my opinion the better street car.
I believe the very first year of the GE does not have VSC, possibly the second as well. Don't worry too much about that though, it's extremely easy to disable with a single wire cut, and it barely takes any effort beyond that to put it on a switch if you think you might want to turn it back on at some point. I daily my car year round without it and as long as you run proper snow tires it isn't an issue at all.
No need to go through all that hassle to remove the glare shield, you can just push and bend it in and out of the way using a flat head and don't worry it won't break, it's metal for GD and GK and then put your projectors on. Took 30 minutes to swap them, as I took the tires off.
@@ShoebHussaini the shield is too big to fit through the hole on the GD, even if bent it still wouldn't fit (I tried that at first thinking I'd let lucky)
@@Sebs.garage_The key is to never remove the shield or pull it out; instead, just bend it inside the headlight, and it'll stay in place. If you ever want to switch back to halogen bulbs, you can simply use long nose pliers to pull it back to its original position.
@@Sebs.garage_ I get it, I don't mind it. It's just for someone who doesn't want to go through all the hassle of removing the bumper then headlight and then cutting and prying the thing out. Feels like almost a day of work.
i was thinking spc bolts for the front 1 degree or maybe 1.5 degrees neg camber, stock suspension; what do u think with a good alignment? i drive about 24k miles a year on stock 14" steelies and tires
Such a waste of money lol but I have one and I've built it and yes it's a waste of money 💰 lol mine is tuned and super charged and I have a 3in exhaust and a better clutch ... Also a lot of suspension work . Also Megan racing mid pipe is not that hard to find .. I have two of them just chillin in the garage and I'm using the hks axel back. It's a cool car but I'm like $6,700 into it and I still only make 156whp lol I personally don't like the car but I won't get rid of it .. I'll never get my money back . 19:57
your audio is good man, just turn down that music to like half the volume that it currently is, because it overlaps with your voice throughout the video
I have s 08 5MT wiyh a Megan racing mid pipe and hks axel back and a dhirt rak intake on coilovers and some paint hx wheels.. love the car .. slow as hell but awesome car runs perfectly and has almost 333k miles on it.
Awesome Video Man! Have you ever checked your 0-60 times? I am just curious because I just got a 2008 Fit and its way slower then my 2012. So I am trying to get more low end torque from 2008. From what I gathered in your video you would reccomend these things to get the best performance. 4-2-1 Exhaust Flashpro Plugs Tune You think those things will get me better 0-60 speeds?
@@gregburnley 0-60 is approximately two to three business days Jokes aside, I don't think the car is really all that much faster down low with my particular setup and I also don't think low end torque is really where these small engines shine. Where I do notice a big difference is top end and highway speeds, I can actually keep up with traffic without issue and have more oomph to make passes without trouble. The throttle response from the tune will also make it so that the small amount of power these make is on tap a lot sooner, which is really helpful.
Hey man! Thanks for the speedy reply! do you still have the fit? Is there anyway at all You could do a 0 to 60 run for me? I know they have an app you can test it on. Also, if you were my shoes and just a little bit more low and torque which seems like it’s hard to do, what option would you start with?
Following this as I too have a GD3 and ive been looking at the Fiesta ST as I want a lil more power outta the GD3 if possible. Who are you gonna go to for the tuning?
I would have liked to have seen more of a comparison of the brights... Every LED light I've used the brights barely make a difference & from what I saw here it's the same deal. Granted, the low beams are pretty freaking amazing. I've found on cars that have double headlight bulbs like EF civic/CRX LED in the headlight & standard halogen in the high beams gives the best of both worlds. Allot of LED lights are very hard to see when it's wet conditions. On my GD I've got LED headlamps & halogens in the fogs & it's much better than when I had LED & LED. Another good upload Seb, keep them coming. We all appreciate the content. MrE Garage signing off.
The LED and heatsink can also just be removed from the projector lens during assembly. Its got spring loaded balls on each side so you can install the lens lock it down then install the led into the lens.
at 16:43 - 17:20'ish....holy hell that is so much light above the "cutoff". This showcases perfectly why a proper projector retrofit is the way to go instead of just led bulbs. Great video!!
Only issue i have with these types of aftermarket headlight setups is they don't last long ended up using quality halogen bulbs & they are pretty bright & was only 40 bucks
It really depends on the bulbs. I've used Sylvania LED bulbs in my fog lights and they've been on there for 5 or so years without issue. I've had Sylvania ZXE bulbs last under two years. Either way, any halogen bulbs I've used do not hold a candle in comparison to a projector LED (retrofit, or these bulbs in particular) in terms of light output and visibility.
Alright I'm sold, lol I do wonder if there's another alternate method to getting those glareshields out non-destructively besides taking out the lens, but I'm still stoked to save up for a pair of these! Only question I do have, do the DRL lights still work with these or no?
I don't think there would be because they are larger than the hole, but I'm all ears (and eyes) if someone comes up with a way to do it. The instructions for removal are a bit different on the Roadmanners website, so take your pick on which method you'd like to use. As far as DRLs, it should be no different than any other HID or LED bulb.
Hello, I saw that your content quality and Thumbnail is also good. But, your channel is not Growing. Then, I analyzed and I saw that in your channel have some problems. That's why your channel is not growing. Mainly, you are not reaching to your targeted peoples, If you can solve these problems your channel will grow like a storm. Can I tell these problems? Can I tell here? Are you allow? And how are you? Want to know these problems? where can I tell? here or in email? Where? As your wish, If you can and I mean if you want to know, Where?
what are your thoughts on the reliability of turboing the small L engine in the fits? Is it worth pushing a little bit to make the car a bit peppier? not looking for 200hp or anything outlandish, just a small bump in fun that's still safe for the fit. love the black fit btw! so slick
I cant remember, do you already have FlashPro, or what are you using for management? 2.5" exhaust on the 1.5L in NA form is bound to be super loud & raspy. Even my header back 2" with 2 resonators and Tanabe Medallion muffler is super loud and has the rasp when not warmed up, but even with it, all the times I've been pulled for speeding they've never said anything (knock on wood).
Great video, I am trying to figure out my exhaust requirements too. It's nice to have your mature presentation about this, instead of a mouth breather shouting, "Brah, hear that powah!"
I don't think so. I think if anything, I would do a K20 over a K24 because I enjoy more rev happy N/A setups - but even that is very unlikely to happen.
@@MikeFoster1 the Z3 would actually be my preferred K to use. I may be able to do a review video with a local K swap car, I've been thinking about getting into reviewing different setups.
Thank you for reminding me, I never ended up readjusting the clutch when I threw my hardline in. Whoops, lol Thankfully the clutch seems forgiving enough I havent grenaded it but I still want to avoid doing so, haha
Dude ive been trying to figure out a good daily driver to get and thought of a buddies Fit and how he loved it. I will be watching your stuff for a long time to learn, thanks for sharing.
I've had all sorts of cars, including some of the legends (S13, S14, FC RX-7, A70 Supra, N/A Miata, EK, EG, DC and DA Integras) and the Fit is just such a great underrated platform. I hope you do end up getting one and enjoy every bit as much as I do
@@Sebs.garage_ much thanks man. I hope so too. Do you have any suggestions on things to look for or lookout for? Years to avoid? Whats a decent price for these cars? Ive seen a lot of oppions online, but its hard to distinguish which ones are valid and credible and which ones are just people being misinformed or biased. Much thanks 🙏
@@carthos4402 I think pretty much every year other than 2015 is solid, I would just try to avoid buying a base model and always go with a Sport as the added benefits are largely worth the small price increase. As with any used car, look for rust, fluid leaks, condition of tires/brakes/suspension components, maintenance records, etc. (including valve adjustments, people forget about that part of the maintenance schedule). Each gen has its own little quirks, so go out and test drive some cars and see what you like best.
