I agree. I live about 30 minutes from the tail of the dragon on the Tennessee side. It's awesome being able to just decide to go for a drive and not have to plan a trip.
I've driven those Ga mountain roads for years. Never had so much fun until I got a Fiesta ST. Tail of the Dragon is a blast ! Now I'm retired in Mexico and have a Fit GK5 Sport with HFP package. There are some awesome roads here in the mountains. But it's way too dangerous to drive them like we would in Ga or Tenn. Spent a lot of money building my Fit and I can't really drive it , what a shame.
a small, stiff, front wheel drive car is a whole different kind of fun. especially on twisty mountain roads. people bring super cars, porsches, corvettes, and other sports cars and dont realize they are really missing out on these narrow roads lol
Dude! You were literally 10 minutes from me! Blood Mountain is a blast and the store at the top is great. Hope to catch you up here sometime and do some cruising!
Well well well Caleb it was only a few days ago we (John, Joel, and Dylan) mentioned you should hit up the mountains while we were at your shop for the dyno session in the black miata. Awesome to see a video only a few days later on one of our favorite mountain passes of the area. We hope to bump into you some time up there! Also, if you'd like a route of our loop or some miatas to chase for next time we can gladly provide.
I just got one of these pretty much for free. 5 speed and same color, always liked the looks of them and feel like they should’ve been the EP3. Super fun car to drive
My work takes me to Greenville SC. I've been drive the roads to the north and west of there for fun on the weekends when I have to stay over. I haven't made it over as far as 60. Will have to check it out. The whole area has some fun roads, 23 comes to mind. I'm always in boring rental car, but it's still good to get out in the hills.
0:42 The way I like to go is up blood mountain to 180 then to hwy 60 . On weekends it is still not busy unlike the Dragon, much safer and laid back. Watch out for the law, safety first of course. Sunday mornings are good people are at church but sports car guys and motorcycles are still there. Go after caffeine and octane in Kennesaw and you might see a bunch of big dollar sports cars.
Those are cute little Georgia HILLS.... Also, consider doing the least expensive best bang for the buck BBK. The Mini Cooper 280mm rotors & 99-00 Integra Type-R/CRV calipers. I did that on my GD along with stainless brake lines front & rear with some higher temp DOT4 & it's SUCH a massive improvement you won't believe it & they will clear your current wheels, won't clear the stock Fit 15"s but your offset of the Konig's would be totally fine. My kit consisted of PowerStop rebuild calipers (powder coated red for extra credit). TechnaFit brake line kit, Wagner metallic brake pads for a 1st gen TSX, Brembo drilled rotors & Mercedes Benz DOT4. I searched for quality parts that I could find on sale & all in it was $310.
I dont remember the kids name (I think he's related to audrey, I know he's been on the channel for years now, im sorry), but when he gets his license I feel like we need a series involving him and his first car.
Favorite road of all time. Wolf Pen Gap is goated around there. Me and a couple other buddies in Athens are going up there the 8th if you want to go again!
sweet honda fit bro! if you are thinking about painting then I definitely recommend going for white paint and add the red honda type r logos to it! wheels can be any color.
i know it's a drive but Suck Creek mountain in Tennessee is a ton of fun to drive up and down. Notable stop is Prentice Cooper forest preserve! I drive my type n up there all the time!
I traded my 2016 EX-L in a year ago for a Kona N and I can't help but think I'm missing out by not owning a fit, as slow as they are I love how practical they look and how fun they are to drive. I feel like I can't really give it the beans as often in the Kona N because it's a little too fast for city streets, 🤔
Bro lmao when you built your blue Miata I installed the fm turbo kit on mine 😂 now you boosted your fit and I’m about to boost mine 😂 this just got me 10x more pumped currently just waiting on parts haha
Yooo have you ever considered learning how to create parts with carbon fiber? Might be a real challenge for ya and you could upload your learning process along the way!
It would be a cool video to see a full run up the mountain! Edit after watching the video, please get some trays for the Fit for the next video, hahah!
Americans really are allergic to turbo flutter, the turbo will be fine without a blow off valve, what is funny is even his Volvo has turbo flutter despite the blow off valves he installed.
your turbo does live longer with a blowoff valve. why do you think all turbo cars nowadays have them? its a daily so its main purpose is to stay alive 😂
@@florider_hd The main purpose of a bypass/recirculation valve to reduce emissions, aftermarket blow off valves exist because people like the sound. Nissan's pre 1988 didn't run any (some after 88 still had none like early S13's), turbo's literally out last the engines in those, even some modern cars don't run any, if it does any damage it's so minimal you wouldn't notice.
Mazda 2 with 1.5 103hp (ZY-VE) is good alternative to Honda Fit. Mazda looks sportier and have better handling and suspension from factory. I can see only advantage for Fit, that it can be offered with more powerful VTEC engine.
Open your hatch. Get in your car. Start the car. Turn the A/C on high and shut all the windows and doors. The combination of acoustics from the exhaust and motor mounts is almost painful. It feels like driving with just your back windows open.
Been looking into buying a fit, I want to ask you though, if you had to work on/mod a fit without a lift/quick jacks how bad would it be realistically?
Unpopular opinion.... Turbo flutter for the win. Stutututu is better than wooooooooossshhh. No need for a BOV in my opinion. It's not a race car and the boost pressure isn't that high
It's common place in motorsport not to run a BOV, you can pretty much look at any top level racing car and see they don't run any, GT3, GTP, WRC, etc, as for boost pressure not being that high, pretty common here to see street cars running 30+ psi with no valve not to mention race cars running a lot more than that.
Any Fit owners in the comments here, how is highway driving with the 5-speed? My Volvo V70 currently screams at highway speeds and I don't feel comfortable going over 75/80... was wondering if the fit is any better. Thanks yall

Sooooo, paint job & built motor? Or new daily? Also don't forget to check out the Insta360 X3: store.insta360.com/product/x3?INROLJQ&KOL&X3car
Sell it get 4 door Si 8th gen and put a kraftwerks supercharger easy 400whp
Next thing I'd like to see? Get as many carbon fiber parts as possible and see how much weight you can shave off... and then a paint job lol.
If you're looking for color suggestions, cypress green pearl is my favorite Honda color.
I vote you pretty it up a little more (and defenitly make it faster)
I'm really curious to see how this compares to a fiesta ST
To be that close to the mountains is truly a blessing. Getting to just casually drive those cool roads is an awesome thing
Yeah 100%! Love living within an hour of these places
Gingium, where is your shop? Im in Lawrenceville. Just curious.
I agree. I live about 30 minutes from the tail of the dragon on the Tennessee side. It's awesome being able to just decide to go for a drive and not have to plan a trip.
@@jasonmccoy567let alone seeing and hearing all the cool cars around
Now needs to be called the Honda Buff, get some matching badges
I've driven those Ga mountain roads for years. Never had so much fun until I got a Fiesta ST. Tail of the Dragon is a blast ! Now I'm retired in Mexico and have a Fit GK5 Sport with HFP package.

you know its good when your turbo sounds like from a video game
Saw my buddy Tom bought it for his son, and I was like dang that guy and fit looks familiar 😂
It's a great little car, dude!
@@B18C5EH2 I bet dude I saw it on Facebook and was like hell yeah man! I know your son is loving it.
If you're up for a little hike, the Blood Mountain area is a great place for a drive and awesome views from the top
I did that hike last year actually! Very awesome!
YESSSSS HKS BOV FOR THE WIN !!! I RUN HKS BOV ON MY ELANTRA N SOUNDS BEAUTIFUL!!, EVERYONE LOOKS AT THE CAR EVERY TIME I LET OFF OF THE GAS !!
Dude! You were literally 10 minutes from me! Blood Mountain is a blast and the store at the top is great. Hope to catch you up here sometime and do some cruising!
I live about 10 mins from that first overlook the intro was shot in. Wolf pens gap (GA180) and blood are some really fun roads to rip on for sure.
I’d kill to live 10 minutes from that road!
Wolf pens gap is amaaaaazing, best road in GA

I absolutely love the super squeaky, probably the only bov I’d put on a turbo car.
Love see the cars in action and getting tweeked 👍🏼 best type of content
I had to double vacuum T to mine since I wasn't running a ton of boost, made less flutter and it opened better.
What do you mean "double vacuum T" ?
@@_Gingium_ run two vacuum lines into the diaphragm via a T, sorry I was tired and not very clear.
I went on that first road back in march on a motorcycle. There was a guy absolutely ripping a Miata and it reminded me of you haha.

Missed the perfect opportunity to pull the dents on the panel you replaced with the insta360 mounts.
Suches county is lovely, We were so lucky to not go flying off the mountain on that road though
the 360 record so good, hope you make more content with it
Cool VLOG, u got to check out both my Turbo GD3. One K series Turbo, other GD3 T1R L15 one off....sick...sounds like mine

I own the same car and I use to hate it now I like it again 😢
This with a stock k20 would be perfect. More than enough power for the chassis to have tons of fun. Even run on 87
Your welds are looking professional!

The next time you’re up in the mountains Blood Mtn in Blairsville is a great road as is Fort Mtn in Ellijay. Tons of fun roads in the N GA mtns.
I just saw that someone bought your honda fit
I like the sound of the Jazz/Fit yes im a Aussie watching the upload at 4:15am. But i hate the BOV Gingium sorry.
YOU FREAKING SOLD IT!?!?!??
Saw your ad for the Beat on marketplace! I didnt know you lived so close to me! You should do a hangout/meet up sometime!
“Let’s hear it under some loads” -Aeyyy Yoooooo
I actually found a RUclips channel who rips the local touge
Installing a BOV...you are officially a wisened adult. RIP careless childhood.
rip stutututu

You SOLD it wtffffff 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
It's in good hands. 😁
I really have to get a super sequential for my crv, I am craving the NFS Underground 2 sounds
nice vid man love the camera shoots!!!!
I think, realy better noise without BOV HKS!!! Good vidéo, love your vidéos Ginguim👌🤙
the jazz needs a short shifter so badly. almost feels like you're gonna elbow the passenger in the back
K24 awd swap is what I would do if I won the lottery, would be fast as all heck
Cool stuff. I wish we could drive together but I'm in the PNW. le sigh...
Would love to do some B Spec lead follows with ya at Blood Mountain with my autocross built Mazda 2 next time you’re up that way
more fit-jazzz stuff!

Can u take it to the auto cross you did with the mx5 I think this would do so well, amazing camera work with the 360
I think I passed you the other day, I have a white 2013 fit lowered, not turbocharched.
You should try Russell scenic hwy near Helen those are some nice curves and great views plus semi trucks can’t use that hwy

Do you put a mic in the engine that turbo noise is soo loud
Bro, tell me where to order spare parts and other components for Honda Fit?
compressor surge off throttle does not damage turbos.
ultimately it’s just extra wear and tear.
But,but,...now you don't have ugly black stripes on the new fender. Lol
Haha I actually removed ALL the ugly black stripes on the car
can we get a Fit playlist pls🫶
Just as an FYI, you really shouldnt be welding alum with those big flood cups.
