K-Series Honda Fit - The Best In The World? 

Agreed! We took care of it for them 😜

Beautiful car 👍

Agreed check out...have 2.....got new since 06....swap turbo and turbo

Anyone notice how he tries not to use the phrase “perfect fit”. 😂

They should of had a si version of a fit with k20 from the factory

No one is going to buy one, just look at the FiST sold good for the first few years and then barely moved anything in the latter years in the states. Sure they might have some problems but it's not even a reliability issue wise. Also lightweight FWD sports/performance cars have major problems that requires money to R&D out but by then it wouldn't be a sub 30k FWD car no more.

RIP 91 civic hatchback Si. You will be missed.

Yes, they "should." Will they? Nope! Do they care about pleasing the enthusiasts more than taking the most profitable route? Nope!

@@boygonewhoopdataZZ wtf is a fist

@@LeSwexy He means Ford Fiesta St, a car which weighs the same as the Fit but is a better performance car in every single way, without needed a $15,000 engine swap.

Trying to get my buddy to buy one, it's like an accord but 40% cheaper and the only trade off is it's a little uglier

I just made 3, 75 mile trips to town with my 2008 Honda Fit and it cost $23 to fill up. Are you jealous? ;p

I have a 2008 Honda fit five speed manual and I love it I want to have it totally refurbished ❤

I’m telling you the Fit will be the next ‘it’ Honda

Right? This thing is a perfect recipe!

More stuff coming on it soon, drive stuff in the Spring.

No sema builds here haha, video coming!

@@TailoredChassisSolutions thank god, cant wait to see it👊🏻

Thank you! But credit for Toms k24 Fit goes to our good friend Brian Gillespie at Hasport! We built our TCS Racing K24 GE8 Fit that we used in AER though 🙂

So the Honda fit does not have a canbus system? Or do you just have to find someone who can make the systems communicate?

@@TailoredChassisSolutions I see! Mix up on my part. Still, great work has been seen from the shop! Keep it up!

@@benfrank1583 Fits are indeed CanBus cars. The last I checked for the electrical side of things, you'll need at minimum the Fit PCM, donor car's PCM to run the engine and either a jumper harness like what 2nrs offers or make your own. That's just rough going from rough memory... I'm sure TCS, HaSport, or 2nrs can go into more detail.

You dont really want to know

Yes,it's been done in the US

Do it!!! I had my Mustang aligned and they perform top-notch work!

Connections?

Now you and i both Know that you’re not in Malaysia!!!!

Probably around 20-30k if you're doing it yourself

30k-40k. Not cheap

@@1siksivik worth it, basically the price of a new car these days anyway.

@@1siksivik $40k easy, and it's worth it.

This was recorded with the DJI Mic set, it’s a great price and truly makes things easy! I love them.

The audio is great, but the mic was too close to the camera. It amplified the mirror slap really badly. (Alternatively, use a camera with quieter mirror, but that shouldn't be necessary.)

We could only be so lucky!

Guess again

Estebans car is definitely a nice car and hes a nice guy but none of those cars are complete and uncompromising. Jdm fiberglass hype parts and gutted interiors dont make something the best. As with most, you give Japan(japan inspired) far too much credit in regards to building cars (I used to as well) but aside from styling and original manufacture Japan really cant hold a candle to the US/AUS/UK/GER Motorsport builders.

@@TailoredChassisSolutions It's beyond hype parts and fiberglass and gutted interiors. The prompt is asking is this the best "type R" honda Fit, and the short answer is no, but not for the reasons of lacking rare parts it's because Honda already answered the question and other's have adopted that answer. The RS Honda fit was the closest thing any region got to a Type R, however it was largely cosmetic as Honda didn't want to invest in a performance option for their economy car. So in Type R fashion, which usually includes an alternate exterior the RS is the answer as designed by Honda, and with the addition of Mugen creating their add on parts you know know exactly what a Type R would look like. You don't have to guess. But that does leave the performance side, the engine, the suspension, the braking and the drivetrain etc. A K-swap is the obvious, while complicated answer, and that's where this Fit in the video hit the nail on the head, but it's missing the other half of the coin. As for your other statement, I agree some of the fastest and best cars in the world are from the countries you mentioned. However, there isn't a Japanese cart enthusiast alive who doesn't regard Japanese builder with the highest reverence as they are the community the rest of the import community is emulating. So it's not an issue of giving them too much credit, it's that they are the authority on JDM inspired builds they are the source material everyone is mimicking. If you want to hybridize the build into an east meets west style that's perfectly fine and even encouraged with the rapid globalization of the car scene, but referring again to the prompt you won't reach a type R status or replication without being influenced by the community and culture that created it, which is designed and refined in Japan. If the goal is to make a great and remarkable Fit, you achieved that. But if the goal is really to make a true Type R and be the best Fit in the world (on US soil), then this is still in progress, because there are others out there who have reach this point and gone further. It doesn't mean this car can't one day be the best, but it's hard to disregard the others who have sacrificed just as much to get where they are.

Kinda, I can't recall exactly how it is setup, but I believe it's from an MK3 VW GTI.

“I really respect your hustle on the Mugen lips” (tips hat using middle finger)

Restraint is under rated. Doing the MOST isnt doing the best. Balance in all things.

We ran out of time, and our scheduled track day was rained out. More updates this Spring!

An unreasonably large amount.

We are working on a video to answer all of your questions!

@@RevivalMotoring thanks, looking forward to it!

An unreasonably large amount.

It's plug and play for the 2nd gen fit

Full track attack video is coming in the Spring.
