As a US first gen AKA GD3 Honda Fit owner, I can't imagine it with 400WHP, complete overkill for a 2,500lb FWD daily driver, I'd be plenty happy with 200WHP over the stock 109 crank HP the GD3 comes with in the States but this build is super clean and that engine bay looks great, very clean.

[@AUTOSARTID]

That's why Indonesian car guy need to chill a little bit stop building "fancy" car's, build something that "they" don't have. Start to develop and growing local car culture with some local products till another level. My buddy Jonathan prove it, he got Larry's attention. Congrats 🔥🔥 Hell yeah L15, senen jebol rebo bisa nyari kampakan. No worries as long you've some cash 😅

His smile at 14:12 is what it’s all about. Tons of effort put into this build, glad it all came together so well!

[@awdobsession717]

I like that Larry decided to feature builds unique to the area. To bad Honda canceled sales of the Honda Fit here in the US. Love my GK5, great on gas, 6 speed manual, light weight & nimble. Cool to see an even smaller variant similar to a Fit or Jazz.

baby Fit go brrrrr. 400 on a Mustang dyno is pretty impressive for such a streetable build. Also quite low-key at a glance and then you see more and more little details they added. Awesome build.

[@b.roa2366]

Mustang dyno are pretty known for low reading dyno result so i think this build is more than 400hp in other dyno

[@Warex06]

That is such a cool little car! Reminds me my high school days of guys taking the EG, EF Civic/CRX and swapping B-series into them (K series came a few years later on) Stock GSR b18c1 drivetrain in a CRX with drag slick tires ran 11 second 1/4 miles. When your car weighs around a ton (2000lbs) 200hp is actually a lot. 400hp you’re fighting for traction all the thru to 4th gear but I understand the hunger for more HP
