1 - You buy a Daily driver
2 - install Wheels and Spoilers only for looks, because it's just a daily
3 - Install some suspention stuff, to make the corners more fun at daily way to work
4 - You're fast at the corners, but some hot mom in a Altima is faster than you
5 - You put just a intake and a lifted cam to increase horsepower.
6 - The hot mom still beat you up with a Altima
7 - You put a small turbo, just to increase horsepower, just a little...
8 - You start to increase even more the horsepower to fight with the V8's and big cars.
9 - You have a fucking racecar that is terrible to drive daily
10 - You buy a Daily driver.
And this is how our lifes work...
This is the way, brother
one of my favorite comments ever lol what a journey
lol 😅
And down the spiral we go... I'm giving it 4 videos for the Fit to get K swap and Caleb to get a new daily
First: a supercharger :)
@@_Gingium_ gotta blow the engine before replacing it, forgot
would be a cool project tho
I was just about to say the same. Lol 😂
Nailed it
the "i riced out my honda" line had he crying lmao
:(
@@_Gingium_ can we have the honda fit as a sleeper daily
Gingium: “I don’t want it to sound like a Honda”
Sawzall: “so anyways…”
Not only is it a refreshing change of scenery these videos, it's also nicer not having to wait as long for videos whilst reducing the pressure on you to pump work out so videos arent so delayed.
“God gives his slowest Honda’s the loudest exhausts”
This comment made my day.
I just drove a fit a few days ago just like this, wheels, tires, coilovers, he had a true cold air and a custom intake manifold, as well as a tune, and the vacuum cutout. Thing had insanely fast throttle response and it was an absolute blast
"Heat seater" had me dying!
It’s what my family calls it lol
4 cylinders and CAI’s sound so good, but you might want to box it off to be a true cold air intake instead of having it in an open engine bay where it sucks in hot air
I have completely stock exhaust on my Miata but a cold air intake or we’ll more proper hot air intake has woken up the sound so much
You gotta upgrade that 1.75 to at least a 2.25 to get some deeper tones to the axleback! My 2.3 ranger had the same issue with a muffler delete. Sounded tinny as hell till I went to the shop and had a 2.25 27" glasspack and piping installed with a 3" side exit tip. Now, even with the extra cat gone, it sounds throaty and almost sportbike like in the mid to high revs.
I had to go with 2.25" on my Fit to get that to go away as well.
Agree
a pick up truck that sounds like a bike something ain't right there🤔
@@erikmeulenberg5541 It's the side pipe and large glass pack that does it. I've never had a truck that sounded bad, and it's because I know what I'm doing with the exhaust combos.
If you want to keep it simple, HKS Hi-Power exhaust will give you the low-tone you want. I'm running Megan Racing headers, DME mid-pipe and the HKS. Gives it a nice low tone modest sound.
Let's go fit mafia. Loving the upgrades keep getting after it brother. Gotta love the heat seaters brother
Gingium got good taste, I agree no angry bees nest, get a resonator and hi flow cat!! I think it sounded better with just the muffler setup
I totally agree with you
6 months from now: “Okay, I’m installing a 2,000 horsepower LS-based V16 into my Fit to make the ultimate Pike’s Peak racer! I also bought an ‘80s Camaro as a daily driver. I might do a few bolt-ons”.
Aaah the ol "cut the middle muffler out" Mine lasteda few months before I shoved another resonator back in the line
Nice Build ever, like oldschool 😀 love it. The intake Need a Heat shield pls do That
Put the first muffler back on, get rid of the valved muffler and "straight pipe" only the back section. The sound was perfect the first time
The Ging straight pimpin with those heated racing seats in the daily 😎😅
Love this content! These lower stakes mods/upgrades are a treat, especially with how fast they’re coming out. Really motivating too, since I’m struggling to start on anything with my miata. Keep at it Gingium!
Today we install a new clear coat on the roof of a Honda, gingium says heat seater, and we ruin our daily!! Nice change of pace video. NOW DO A DATSUN 510!!!!
That would be sweet. They are hard to come by these days though....
@@OGPedXing I've got a 2 door 69. Just gotta know where to look.
I have a 2003 Honda jazz the European version of the fit, same colour too!
Make sure you check for any water in the spare wheel well it’s really common, the seam sealer along the rain gutters at the back of the roof where it meets the truck cracks and let’s water in, fixed it with some sealant on mine
Great video series. I have a 2005 GD1 Jazz with the L13A3 twin-spark motor that I used to track and still daily-drive today. I've done a Recaro SRD seat swap to it, and given it braided steel brake lines. I've always wanted to run coilovers, but never did due to practicality and crappy streets. Body has grown the odd water leak or two now; that's something you'll want to look out for on your Fit as it's a very common problem with the GD chassis.
I'm loving these type of videos with the Fit! I started watching you with the Molly build so this felt really nostalgic and fun like how the Molly build was.
I am so happy I didnt do any cat baffle deletes. I got the HKS exhaust and its got the perfect lows without that nasty rasp.
What you need in place of the test pipe (cut out first muffler) is a resonator!
I put one on my RX-7 in place of the converter, so nice. No ricey rasp that is just gross on the ear
We love our air seats in Texas with the heat. Nice seats for a Fit fo sho! Can’t wait to see it spin some tires soon!
God I wish valved exhausts weren't illegal in NY. I'd love that for my Subaru
Intake just sounds great running, and it's silent when you don't push it. One of the best mods for a daily.
You need to put a check valve in the line for the vacuum solenoid. When you're at wot you have no vacuum so it closes.
I'm really surprised I had to scroll this far to find this(what I had thought) obvious fact.
I work for Solo Performance and I build and install custom exhausts all day. We normally don't have much luck when people bring in those valved mufflers to put on their car. Love the build so far!
I know you’re crazy busy with all the projects you’ve got going right now, but i think it would be so cool to see you make a 4x4 or overlanding build eventually, and I know exactly the car for it. A 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee would be crazy fun to work on with the unique design, and it would work great as a tow rig as well. The engines that come with it stock are great, the v8 is loud and would tow whatever you need, and the inline 6 makes it pretty much a skyline (kinda). Love where the vids are going, keep it up bro
you need a good resonator in the exhaust, I really like the vibrant ones. My wrx is completely straight piped from the turbo back except for one big vibrant resonator, and its honestly very quiet and has a good tone to it
L15 is a beast of an engine, the VTI-S model in australia got them with the same body kit and alloys, they’re a wicked car and i’m so happy you’ve built one
Great job on mudding the Fit. Looks awesome!
Never really gave Fits a second look, now I kinda want one! Nice work Gingium!
Always wanted to daily a Fit and mod it out. Thank God I can vicariously live through the internet.
Exhaust fix - I have a 2015 6MT. I took the axle back off, took it down to the local muffler shop and had them cut the muffler off, added a 2" (that's all thy had) straight pipe the same length and put a 45 turn down on the end. $40 for the straight pipe and $5 for the turn down. Sweet deep tone and not very loud at idle, most people would never notice, but when you get on it awesome sound driving down the road, but still not enough volume to get attention. When you hit the high RPMs on a down shift, oh sweet. Still has the resonator on, just removed the big clunky muffler. With out that weight it didn't even need hangers.
One thing I found doing my exhaust, if you can get the same diameter pipes front to back it will help with that raspy sound. When I just had the axel back it was raspy, when I put the high flow cat on it was still raspy, it didn't change until I put a full 2.25" pipe from the cat back to the muffler.
And I really like the seats, think you've helped me decide on what I want, they look like a good match for the stock interior. Not sure if I need the "heat seaters" though I don't drive my Fit during the winter much. :D
Depending on what name brand you got I got a axle back vibrant exhaust and it doesn't even sound loud it just sounds normal but then when you hit the gas it sounds loud but people always tend to forget the vibrant because you have to get the muffler and then have it welded on to another pipe
@@Jac735 Megan Racing header, Magnaflo high flow cat, Megan Racing midpipe and an HKS axel back.
as someone who found out the hard way how easy it is to scratch paint by setting a pizza box on the hood of the Charger I used to have, I cringed about as hard as you did, but it'll buff out
Wait how does a cardboard pizza box scratch paint?
@@shaloon64 it moves around all the dust and dirt that's on the paint
@@declanheslip3781 nice try Declan. Its actually from the grease of the pizza that has seeped through to the bottom of the box. The grease acts as a solvent on painted surfaces.
Wouldn't call it much of a cold air but more of a short ram, but I could be wrong. I installed an amazon short ram on my 1st gen escape and it sounds awesome. Makes that 3.0l sound great for a mom car. Loving the fit already.
Jeez that intake really makes it sound like a whole new car. Awesome! Unfortunately I think you're right about the sound. It was best when you had just the rear muffler cut off, hahaha. I know you'll fix it though! Still isn't awful.
Yes, I was thinking of a cheap old school glass packed straight through also, to replace the first small muffler. Agree with Drunken Hamster.
My guy is out here ls swapping Volvos and rear engine swapping a eclipse and he’s out here measuring the throw of the new shifter with a fist and 2 fingers 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 just playing love the videos man!
I’ve done this same stuff to my GK5 fit. Such a great daily and a fun car.
Love the cheap intake mod, but please do yourself a favor and get a legit K&N filter. Those cheap ebay filters can let go of the "button" on the inside top of the filter where is cones in and suck it straight into the intake, as me how I know lol
gotta run bigger piping for deeper tone. i have a 2 inch straight pipe on my 1.7 liter em2 civic with just a cat on it in the manifold and its pretty quiet i love it
Yo man to see where you went from twitch streaming to this, it's inspiring to say the least! Side note, supercharged fits are probably the coolest "not traditionally cool" honda
Loved the video, even if you did maybe ruin your daily with the exhaust, you clearly had fun with the video and enjoyed making it and doing some fabrication and a simple air filter, class content mate always watching 👌
it looks like you can put a double din in place of the single din radio the Fit comes with, not sure if it'll fit but i just installed a Boss BE7ACP-C in my LS400, it comes with a backup camera and its just under $300 from crutchfield
Get a vibrant bottle style resonantor in place of that pipe. Had an RSX-S and put that on a custom exhaust and it was a night and day difference.
That Honda looks nicely planted but agile on the road, can see why you like it so much.
The vibrant resonators are awesome!
You should do a high flow cat into a small mid resonator with the valved muffler at the end and have it flow out of an actual tip.
I've got a K&N axle back in my 07 Fit Sport. Even with the itty-bitty, stock exhaust pipe, it sounds very refined. I gotta delete the cat soon anyway cause I got P0420, aka "Please, sir, may I have a straight pipe?". I definitely have to throw a better intake in, although it's tight asf that Honda put the intake spot behind the headlight because you gotta worry about floating away before you drown the engine 😂. It's not the best for airflow, though.
Add a Borla Pro XS muffler. Will tone out the rasp and give it a deeper tone.
Aren't vibrant muffler quieter though that's what I have
I had a Honda Jazz identical to this one for a few months as a cheap daily. I couldn't believe how capable it was because I wasn't expecting it at all. I got a OEM modulo axelback exhaust for $30 from a junkyard to make it slightly louder lol. Made $1000 on the car in the end
Right after I lose my Fit to a dumb deer Gingium comes out and does the build I wanted to do. He even had the short shifter I wanted.
Rip your Fit 🪦
Best intake for the Fit was the T1R. That thing sounds amazing
As well as a manual control for the exhaust valve can you set it up to open up at a set engine RPM? Having it open at the same time as V-tec hits would be mint.
Wow, you are awesome! Doing it all by yourself saves a ton of dough! And customizing alot of it is really awesome. Great job on the Fit, now can you help me with mine when I get mine? Thanks for sharing.
I think the only sponsor you haven't done yet is Raid Shadow Legends 😂
I always give you the viewing minutes though 👍
I’ve done a few Raid Shadow Legends ads awhile ago 😭
I am watching for your videos...absolutely the best quality on RUclips
As a Honda Fit/jazz owner, the best thing about Hondas is 2nd and 3rd gear high revs sounds hectic but in reality it only goin like 80kph
Give it a resonator, will sound better lol
Definitely will 🤣
Its already on its way :D
Production value gone up so much since back in the day, but you've kept the same old spirit. Fuckin love it
Do the hondata reflash definitely helped our fit out. We're running Intake, header, catless down pipe, full catback exhaust.
I don't recommend those cotton gauze style filters for daily drivers or cars that see any significant amount of mileage. They allow way more dirt to pass than a conventional paper filter, which will eventually wear out the piston rings and cylinder walls, causing oil consumption.
Look up duramax ISO 5011 air filter test if you doubt me. A K&N filter allowed 7 grams of dirt to pass through while clogging in 24 minutes. OEM AC Delco paper filter only passed 0.4 grams and took 60 minutes to clog up.
should've just did the muffler delete, sounds great without a muffler and just straight piped. I had a $600 08 fit sport for a winter beater a few years back and the muffler rotted off at the flange... actually sounded awesome and popped a bunch! car had 420,000 kms before she was written off because of someone side swipping me
The seated heats are definetly a good addition.
Deleting resonator is almost always the wrong move. 😝 Best bang for buck exhaust mod is open resonator. 💪
Virtually only fixes ricer rasp & is just a pass-through 'race' muffler. Typically more desirable than not. Your friends were trolling you. 😆
Shame for fab to go to waste but maybe back to factory with dump valve after resonator? lol Maybe swap factory muffler with Yonaka, the classic OEM+ choice for Hondas. (eBay avail.)
Laughed my ass off when I heard that riced-out exhaust
Please install a hotdog where you welded the straight pipe it will make the noise less raspy and sound more tame and less annoying
When u install the valve exhaust ur supposed to put it before the muffler so when it’s open it goes to a straight pipe and then when it’s closed it goes to a muffler
7:00 Is the effort worth it to fab up some tubing and panels to make that hot air intake a cold air?
It's definitely a hot air intake lol I bet the factory box actually works better
He's not going anywhere very fast it's not a huge deal
@@darrengilbert8467 I was gonna say the same. It's not a race car so who cares if it sucks hot air lol it looks cool
would you be able to link the seats or at least what they are please and thank you? loving the build so far
Vibrant super quiet resonator is a beast!
How did you transfer the OEM seatbelt over? I have the same exact Corbeau seat brackets but I don't see any mounting point for the OEM seatbelt
Where does that brackert attached to? Its that adjustable metal piece with the L bend. I couldnt find anything to attach it to on my fit.
My 2012 has the secondary muffler delete with a hks hi power muffler and it bangs and pops it’s obnoxious lol
2 - 3 fist of measure, sounds legit, will use this reference to anything car-wise and send it! XD love this channel.
How good! New favourite channel!
Superb edits mahn 🍺🔥
love the shortshifter.
i wonder if the shortshifter is applycable to Honda City Hatchback.
the stock shifter feels to soft and long
Your mods for this were perfect Mann I hope to build one but the gd8
time for cooled seats lol
flow master super 10 time or super 40 and a j pipe for tuning the sound? look it up it be intresting to try.
The stock air box was a legit cold air intake as it took in air from below the headlight. What you have now is just for shits and giggles. The perfect exhaust setup would be an axle back using the vibrant matte black oval muffler.
What he has now is a hot air intake...
THIS. People never realize the GD Fit/Jazz runs a cold air intake as stock, until it's too late. There is a literal air funnel duct at bumper level feeding the air box.
Besides, the real restriction for the stock L-series motors isn't at the intake. It's at the exhaust.
Wow, I love it! Seriously jealous, perfect daily!
"2nd muffler" is your resonator. I too messed around with my low displacement Honda's exhaust and regret it. Extra noise, no extra power.
now all you need is a valved resonator to make a substantial difference between on and off
Hoped you would have gone full Lotus Elise with that shifter, with the whole frame and mechanism visible, but hey still a great upgrade :)
Was waiting for this video, don’t know why but i like the fit content
The best safety upgrade you can do is to protect the window switches from rain water… trust me.
Hey, can you post a link for the intake please? I looked on eBay, even ordered one and it doesn't have the 90 from the intake manifold. Returned it and still searching. Thank you!
Dope build!!
Get it tuneed so the exhaust and intake add a little horsepower and get the tune to try and make to car more fuel efficient because obviously daily
I want aftermarket heated seats now 😄 btw don't harnesses need a roll bar? I thought the whole idea of the lap-sash seatbelt is that your body can move towards the floor in the event of a rollover and the roof collapsing. With a harness you're stuck in the seat unable to move as the roof pushes your head down into your neck.
It's certainly more ideal to have a rollbar with harnesses. But that would certainly ruin the daily-ability
Dude check out the Yonaka catback exhaust it sounds extremely good, good and quiet
Oh What?...You got your own Camera Dude now?...Thats cool!
Throw a k&n filter on that intake. Some of these random filters cause check lights, sound weird and holds the car back lol. Will have better gas mileage & sound better 😇
Damn I miss my fit it was the same color as yours as well :( You can try blacking out the spots where the fog lights are supposed to be on the front bumper it gives the car a nice grin if u want!
