How to build a Honda Fit Spoon k20 Swapped: Midlife Crisis

[@RickOAA]

Proportioning valve is the answer to the brake problem. Fits are fun cars. People think I'm crazy for spending some money on minor suspension mods, wheels and tires, and they just don't know.

[@henryjk9419]

I have one with 530k, runs like a top, put good tires and brakes and handles amazingly, would be interesting to see what some minor tweaks would do for sure

[@StevenPlaysGolf]

I just purchased an 07’ Fit Sport with 60k miles and I love it. Lacking in power but still a lot of fun on back roads etc.

[@RickOAA]

Curvy roads and traffic are great equalizers. Those 500 plus horsepower sedans and SUV's don't do anything special most of the time other than guzzle fuel and costing a bunch in insurance premiums.

[@abhinavviswanadh5591]

Does minor enhancements like suspension upgrade, stickier tires etc make much of a difference on a fit? Provided that mine is a 2017 gk5 and has a basic L12b and not the L15b

[@RickOAA]

Yeah. The tires especially. Springs, you just can't go too heavy or low. With wheels it's possible to have a wider wheel/tire combination that's lighter than OEM. With camber bolts corner grip can be improved and the outer edges of the tire can be saved a little bit. Coil overs are good if you want to go there. A rear sway bar and strut bar are preferences that add some ride harshness, but not entirely necessary.

[@matthew1973]

That Fit is pretty awesome. I like seeing odd ball cars done up. Nice quality and very clean build. The JDM front end is legit!

[@pinut187]

Not so odd in Asia, they are done up a lot there..

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Thanks! 👍

[@scoob66]

The spoon graphics on those cabinets, looks super rad!

[@rj5485]

"Go-fast-dad car" I can dig it!

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Yes!

[@MrAlcmj]

Guys who build Jazz/fits are always chill, and love that garage. Got my eye on that daytona wall clock

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

haha so many things to keep the eye on lol

[@epgonzalez1573]

The only Paul Newman I will ever own!

[@nameismetatoo4591]

Damn what a beautiful car. This fills me with so much joy as an owner of a GE ('09) 5-speed. It may only have the stock 117 hp engine, but boy is it fun to drive. It just _feels_ fast. I admit most of that comes from the sheer pucker factor of driving this thing at high speed, but that's why I love it. Not to mention it looks slick as hell.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Thanks for tuning in man.

[@pjlevesque2543]

my mom is giving me her fit and since its coming from my mom im gonna sell my jeep and make it my forever summer car gonna get coil overs first and a cai and then k20 swap t

[@Epro95]

[@DrummingWendigo]

This is the sickest Fit build, period. Big props to Esteban from another Fit fanatic (GE8 as well).

[@oscarp9336]

I owned a 2nd and 3rd gen manual Fits.. both were great cars. I always saw potential just didnt have the means at the time. Your build looks insanely fun to drive.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Very nice! Thank you for sharing.

[@masekdelaghetto]

Saw this car while I was at work (Fedex courier) I stopped and freaked the hell out lol such a dope build

Super duper cool build!

Late comment but the Honda Jazz platform is really underrated!!! Especially in a full Spoon Sports specs (which I'm a huge fan of ever since they've made their EK9 Type R Spoon).

[@VIVIENDOENTEJAS1]

Good stuff dude, he's a true OG remember seeing his type r all mugen loved the way that one looked too.

[@johnendlich6744]

And he has Spoon cabinets DAMN Esteban.....

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Killing it huh lol

[@Tacticoolpapi]

Love it! Love it when gearheads get back in the game. I also had a hiatus cor like 6 years while We got the fam on track. Got back in the scene in 2020. Went from dsm's and a galant vr4 to a New edge Mustang. Shes not fast but shes fun ! Love the guys mindset. Those little fits are great cars. Ive owned one and plan on buying another one next year for my sons first car.i currently dayli a 6 speed tsx and cant help to think what a hoot it would be to drive a fit with a k24 in it.

[@krisgordon6124]

You can never go wrong with Spoon. I have seen 1 or 2 of these cars fixed up here they are pretty cool. But here as I said it's most stance here or show cars not race. I love how happy you get man.

I would say look at forums. Step by step would be difficult to document from beg to end.

Amazing build, but headers are stock k20 headers and work? I see the only option for the GD fits are custom or home fabricated so was just wondering on the header setup.
