@@builtsubarusti7408 Yeah, in New Zealand, we get the K24 in thousands of Honda Odysseys (the RB2 JDM model), and they have transmissions made of cheese. So, we have lots of cheap good K24's...
Honestly most you tubers focus more on growing there channel and not there audience but you guys do such a good job making us feel like we’re apart of it. Every video at that. When I’m not on the track or working on my car you guys keep my oil running inside me 🤙🏼😂 thank you ❤️
I just bought my first car, a 2011 Honda Fit, a little over a month ago. It's what created my interest in cars and in watching this channel, so now that u guys have a video with a Fit it makes me love the channel even more :'))
Finishing 9th overall and 2nd in the class shows how awesome that Fit is. I love Honda/Acura. They have produced some of the best vehicles in my opinion like the CRX, Civic, Accord, Fit, CR-Z, Legend, NSX, Integra, RSX, TSX and TL. With the right modifications installed, any one of those models can become a weapon on the track. They are even fast on a drag strip. Mid 7 second turbocharged cars and high 8 plus low 9 second all motor cars. I have owned a handful like the 1997 Accord Sedan, 1990 Civic Hatchback with a 4 speed manual, 1999 Civic Ex, 1999 Civic Si, and two 1992 Integra GSR. Even though I drive a Toyota today, I will own another Honda in the future. I loved the 1990 Civic Hatchback and think it would have been one hell of a car with a better engine. A K24A2 out of a 2006-2008 TSX swapped in it with intake and exhaust modifications along with an ECU tune would be the greatest.
I met these guys at Gridlife South last year and they were all super nice, had no problems showing us the car and talking for probably an hour about it and Gridlife in general. Couldn't ask for a better group to get people involved in these events!
Im always amazed on the high level of cinematography and production in your guys videos with such a small crew. The quality is much better then alot of the bigger budget and big named car channels and shows. bravo!
This perspective makes the race so much more interesting. You can feel the excitement and tension towards the end. No wanted to mess up and let the whole team down, but also having fun.
14+ hours of shooting and days n days to edit with tons of footages.. Mann! I love your passion towards car culture. ❤ Keep doing, we keep loving @gearsandgassoline
I love the K motor,once owned a k20a3 and just fell in love,and to this day feel like its near one of the best engines ever made,not the k20a3 but k motors in general.The k24 to me is the way to go.A fit with a k24 is a killer idea and I love it.
Growing up I wanted a Civic Type R, but I fell in love with a 2012 Accord with a bone stock K24. It's a joy to surprise muscle cars at stoplights with a K24 in a sleeper body 4 door Accord. I can imagine what this K24 feels like in a much lighter Fit. Great video!
Great to see an accomplished pro like Tom taking these one lap heroes out to Daytona for some wheel to wheel racing. It really doesn't get much better than multiclass endurance racing at an iconic circuit. Congrats on a great finish!
Aah love me some endurance racing! Always endurance raced, never done many time attack events. Its honestly an unreal feeling of man and machine for so long on a track, you become attached in a way to the car.
@11:43 that is incorrect... "clutch in" or being in neutral will use more fuel than keeping the gear engaged when coasting. Fuel injectors have to kick in and supply extra fuel to keep the motor turning if it's not in gear.
I used to drive my Fit for mileage - neutral when I saw a yellow light or down hill. 50 mpg was common, over 40 the eight years I owned it. The times I was in a hurry on a highway, I discovered it LOVED going 90 - 100. Just came alive. Not fair bringing a Fit to an endurance race.
Awesome video!!! I have a 2013 Fit Sport in the driveway and I've been wanting to K swap it for some time. I think it would be the perfect DD, reliable and fast. This video proves it. I need to go actual racing sometime, just looks insanely satisfying. Congrats on the awesome finish! and loved the quote: "That's why we race Honda's".
What a rad little monster of a car! A total weapon with a beast driver behind the wheel. I'll be inheriting my wife's (automatic) 2010 Fit Sport in another year or so. K24 sounds enticing. Hmmm...
I watched, I liked, now to finish breakfast and off to the garage. Keep it up! Love the videos, it keeps us viewers motivated to finish our trashcans lol
I race a 1993 Accord in Lemons, and I have a 2013 Fit. My wife drives it now, and I've been wanting to race it for years. It drives like a go-kart and it revs to 7000. With the exception of the oxidized paint and some grime in the corners it is indistinguishable from new. I cannot remember it every being repaired for anything, except the bumper after I got rear-ended. We just do the maintenance and it keeps going. It is loud inside though. Road noise is so loud it tires you out.
That’s so rad!! I used to own a 13 fit sport (same chassis, different cosmetic front end)! I totally agree the 1.5 is the downfall of this car! It is way too slow even with the supercharger kit. I ALMOST dropped a k20 in there when my motor blew but honda bought it back from me since it was under warranty and because “it is rare to see this model throw a rod” so I got a new civic Si but I still miss the fit. If you guys are not familiar with Truefitcrew(TFC) they have some guys in there with K20’s also. Wished these were the standard engines as they could literally make that fit last sooo long and going uphills wouldn’t be such a pain for daily driving. Also it’s amazing how much a sway bar goes in this car. From factory there is a lot of roll so I can only imagine what it feels like to have a cage in there. Bet you’d have placed higher if you guys made it to grid
Nice meeting you at the event Ben! I don’t think that 3rd place team (my team) did bad with a 40 year old RX7 that has been totaled twice and driven by a dentist, a business owner and a paid seat. Lol glad we could give you guys a run for the money!

Tomo made more passes in 2 laps than the entire F1 grid made in a full season...
Jackie Ding 😂😂😂😂🙌🏼
at first i was like okay sure another bs F1 joke but then he said 60 and i was like holy f u c k
Funny, but theres an average of 40 on-track overtakes on an F1 grand prix. its just always on the midfield. of course, that is unofficial
deimos wolfe but 60 overtakes in 2 laps is a whole different story
"we're all very competitive"
But starts in last place because its more "fun"
Respect
they missed their grid time thats why they started so last ahahaha
Track day?
You know at least ten miatas showed up

@@Jimmy_Watt Lmao.
@@Jimmy_Watt Honda's car? :D Mr Honda is their friend
Honda's are killing it right now no doubt about that, but I have a feeling Mitsubishi will be back to take the throne 😈
Yea... No i don't see Mitsubishi flying great flags like DSM of yesterday year's
Best line ever for a guy that has owned and loved Hondas for 33 year "that's why we race Hondas"
Honda means reliability
LOL
As a former honda mechanic. Can confirm
Except the marker lights on the Fit. Those are a nightmare. Everything else is awesome
This Episode is Absolutely Brilliant. Feel like I’m a part of the team. Love it.
As a Fit owner and lover, thank you for this episode!
I love Saturdays just for this reason alone 👌
Please keep this up Gears.
"its way faster than it should be and it pisses people off"
thats me with my b20v and b16 trans swapped 92 EG3
Could you do a video on the actual swap process? Fits are cheap, and K24's are plentiful... Just sayin'. Awesome production values, great video.
And the price of k24's will sky rocket......buy now while you can afford them

madbikeboysins so I have a Honda Odyssey as well just the transmission is out :/ but have the engine I guess I should swap ? What would the 0-60 do???
@@madbikeboysins haha "transmissions made of cheese" nice expression
@@zoomzoom_miata5697 k swap inspo is plentiful on yt
I guess I'm gonna k-swap my fit now 🤷🏽♂️😃
Yeah let's piss some other muscle car owners off
Mine is brand new, and I want to swap it now... 😑
I've always wanted to swap mine lol I've owned 2 this one being my second. and this one being a 5 speed manual i whip the shit out of it always lol
Nah baby L15B7 direct swap, 220+ hp with bolt ons. You've never had fun like a little turbo'd Fit.
I have a 13 sport I'll be waiting until the 1.5 gets tired 👍👍

Thanks for the epic edit guys! We always have such a great time with the Gridlife family!
“That’s why we race Hondas” - love it!
You guys keep producing quality automotive content. Keep up the good work!
Hands down the best G&G film yet! Loved every minute of it
Stellar work!! Amazing sound work really atmospheric, keep it up!!
As a fit owner can say it have great potential for racing car with right modifications. Even stock it’s really good on turns and have great handling.
Fits aren't known for power but with decent suspension they are quite fun to throw around. This makes me miss my fit.
Sitting in class, watching Gears and Gasoline in one tab, and 24 hour of Le Mans in another. Best Saturday I've had.
good upload time, this serves as an excellent appertite for 24h of Lemans

Love my Honda Fit! Just hit 100k km last day on my ge8 and i think i'm gonna drive it til the wheels falls off!
Man I would love a k series in my fit
This is the best video you guys have done with actual racing! I'm kinda over the Grid Life stuff.
This is SO much fun to watch. Amazing work you guys.
Aah love me some endurance racing! Always endurance raced, never done many time attack events. Its honestly an unreal feeling of man and machine for so long on a track, you become attached in a way to the car.
By far my favorite video on this channel. Absolutely brilliant.
I drive a 2009 Honda Fit and I just love driving it and it’s so cheap. Highly recommended car for daily drivers.
Ben and Ben, as long as you keep making videos like this I will keep watching. Thank you.
K24s is that iconic "go to" race engine that the race world will surely miss.
I really like this Race video and it’s great seeing the Honda Fit kick ass!
There's a Firebird! 12:24. Made me so happy! No way to tell if it's a Formula or a V6 without sound, but kudos regardless!
@11:43 that is incorrect... "clutch in" or being in neutral will use more fuel than keeping the gear engaged when coasting. Fuel injectors have to kick in and supply extra fuel to keep the motor turning if it's not in gear.
Glad to see Adam driving! He's always so busy with gridlife, glad to see him out there 🤙🏼
I think this would be so much fun. That car has to be ridiculously fun to drive...
That’s why we race Honda’s, I love it
I love going to track events, everyone’s friendly in a good mood, tons of cars it’s just awesome

Friggin fantastic. Everyone kicked ass, had a great time, pulled the RUclips audience right in with the team. That's a sexy as fuck budget racecar

Did you ever finish?

Amazing video and cinematography guys. I felt like I was there at the track. Awesome 😎😎👍
honda fit/jazz all the way i love it
I wanted to go to Colorado in july soooo bad but I just can't. Can't wait to see a video from that, It's going to be great!
that is a mean little fit! I bet its a hollar to drive.
The gear shift and the music dropped good stuff
Did the driver forgot his phone on the top of the car at 6:51? lol
ChampCar sets timers on the car when coming into the pits to time the 5 minutes, he was seeing how much time was left lol
Man I did that at a trackday not so long ago... "Oh the gps says the phone is between turn 2 and 3" lol
punkrock301
Did it fall off? He picked something up. Small for a modern phone? Timer?
@@sandmangti7040 probably a magnetic timer. We can see it on top of the car later in the video

phenomenal, this was absolutely such a thrill ride to watch. got my heart beating LOL WOOOO!
Imagine how well this would do in endurance racing with a bigger racing fuel cell
I had a 2011 5 speed and it was a lot of fun. I can’t imagine how much fun it would be with nearly double the power.
It sounds so good. Really smooth.
