I purchased my second GEN Honda fit in March 2014, I’m running mini Cooper wheels cold air intake drilled and slotted rotors with carbon fiber ceramic pads and it handles fantastic. I currently have 253,000 miles and my fit is going strong, those who rode with me so they can’t believe a stock fit as quick as mine
Honda definitely should of made more type R models, imagine how many of these would of sold this spec, They should of done Original HRV with B16A2 Or B18C4, was tempted to do mine
This is exactly my dream build man, I wish the k24 engines and other swap kits for the fit stays the same price for me to be able to build one one day.
We actually race these in our US Gridlife series. It's meant to be a grassroots time attack, so these cars fit perfectly in the 25:1 pwr/weight class. You'd be surprised at the amount of G's this car pulls despite the cheap suspension design. I used to own a 97 ITR, but I actually find I enjoy this car more. I plan on a k24 swap down the road once my Evo 8 is done. :D I wish I could find the RS bumpers though. Very hard to find here.
These second gen Jazz’s are insanely practical. I recommended one for my mother in law, she bought it and hasn’t had a single problem with it at all. Even with the 1.5 and auto it’s surprisingly zippy to drive so I can’t even fathom how it’d feel with a K series in it. I wonder how many lengths it’d pull on the Accord?! 😆
Only reason my Partner hasnt got Jazz is they were too expensive for her little run around 12 years back, Suzuki Ignis has been amazing though never had single problem, 4 tyres due to originals perished and still original exhaust at 21 years old and 26k miles, japanese reliable, all mine are Honda though
Pretty regular swap. About 2 years ago our company tuned ECU for Fit GE7 (JDM 4wd AT) swapped to K24a3 with CU2 intake shaft VTC50, custom header, Honda Stream short AT 4wd - it deals 6.3sec to 100km/h
Awesome! Im envious, that is a match made in heaven! Proper sleeper, it would be thoroughly enjoyable dusting off formidable cars with a Honda Jazz lol.
Hey I absolutely love your channel one thing I would love to see in all these reviews is a 0-100 time, would love to see you incorporate these into your reviews... such a Suttle thing but would be a great way to see the true performance
As a stock series 2, 1.5l VTIS owner, watching this is dangerous to ones wallet. They are exceptional cars vs any other brand options of the same range (so practical) but this makes it epic.
Also a Kiwi and had my 2006 Jazz as my daily for 13 years now, was thinking of selling it but all these videos of how good they feel with a k24 swap has got me thinking...
Hello! Great car!!! Do you have a list with all parts for this swap? This will be a good start to calculate and start to collect parts. I have Jazz and I think to buy another for swap. Thank you!
I have a stock GE8 RS 6 speed manual, and I love it, I used to drive an SiR Accord with the F20b, but this is much more fun on the roads that I drive, but the Accord was much better at highway speeds
i was own this ge8 jazz for 3 years and absolutely have so many memories, so fun to drive when you gotta to catch the clock, push hard everyday without even single trouble and i have to sell it because of the money problems, then i switch to cm5 accord with k24a4 manual transmission and it was also gave me goosebump when push it hard, i cant believe what i watch here the GE8 with k24 was briliant, whos the owner maybe he have some details about how to swap it properly, im probably gonna get another GE8 oneday doing the same thing :D
@@KiwiCarLife hey also if your ever down in Christchurch and looking for some cars to film I’ve got a 1996 Del Sol, a H22 swapped odyssey, a h22 swapped manual LSD accord wagon CD5, a 1988 Accord and a B16B swapped 1975 Mini clubman!
Seems to be the perfect combination. A versatile, lightweight, pretty car that becomes a sovereign vehicle thanks to affordable, revvy 2.4-litre engine. Like my VW Polo 9n, which got premium class pulling power by a 1.9 TDI @ 104 kW and 334 Nm. Should be stock in the first place.
@@KiwiCarLife They even have K24 TC Honda Brio. Brio is like K car smaller than Jazz;.~900kg Say 0.6-0.7 Bar boost. Very Linear, will give 300+bHp That will be crazy power to weight ratio n Super Fun car. Roll cage necessary to stiffen chassis else seam weld chassis
I used to feel the same. In fact, I sorta still do. The 3rd gen in RS form isn't all that proper styling wise and the mugen kit for it didn't really do it much justice in my opinion. I'd still own one though.
@@KiwiCarLife At the strip mid 4's, open road mid/low 5's. I had a B18c swapped GA2 Honda City six years ago that done these times with similar power, It only made 126wkw N/A but 158wkw with a shot of nitrous. Done 13.2@105mph N/A & 12.7@115mph with nitrous but the car only weighed 860kg. Jazz/Fit probably 1050kg so most likely get same sort of times due to the 2.4L torque. The new owner done fresh B18c & a little more nitrous, puts out around 200wkw & has done 11.2sec @ 121mph at Meremere a few years back, gutted i don't have that car anymore for you to test drive. Would be good to see this Jazz hit the strip at NightWars, bring up the Accord.
@@Sk0die Power to weight plus it helps that the new owner knows how to launch to get those times, he get 1.6sec 60 foot times where as my pb was only a 2.2sec 60 foot but the new owner set it up for drag racing, striped it & fitted some ET street's to get that 11.2
I owned a manual GE8 before but I really hate the sitting position of it. The steering wheel is way too far and I can't get a comfortable driving position.
This is how these cars all should have been from the factory. The Fit is just too wonderfully convenient in all the other ways, to not get a premium motor option in it some day.

How does this affect average mpg? Just curious
Well given my Accord Euro with a K24 averaged around 9L/100km and my dad's Jazz did 6, I'd say it roughly increases it by 30%
Looks amazing, what is the wheels? Love those !
