FD2 Converted FA5 Civic Track Car Overview
Going through the list of changes I’ve made on my 2007 Honda Civic Si FA5 to create a fun, stylish, and reliable track car. Really love this car and highly recommend to anyone looking to build a FWD track car. Any questions, feel free to comment! Thanks for watching.

Mazda MX5 1:57.120 Sonoma PB Lap
มุมมอง 7377 หลายเดือนก่อน
Road tripped the Rēshingu Neko NC1 12 hours down to Miata Reunion to try my hand at a new track with like minded MX5 people. Had an amazing weekend and met a lot of really cool people. Car drove flawlessly nearly covering 2000 miles in the weekend. Going into driving Sonoma, I knew the track was sketchy but didn’t know HOW sketchy. Walls everywhere! Regardless, it is such a fun and pretty track...

Final PNW Trackday of the 2023 season ended on a high note. Managing to drop into the 54s was huge for me. I told myself to push a little harder and the Civic delivered. Not half bad for a 177k mile stock engine and drivetrain FWD Sedan. Sad the track season is over but excited to work on some more developments with the car. See everyone next year!

Long time coming getting the Civic back to the track. Car went through a lot of changes visually and setup wise. Finally feel it’s close to the vision I had when I first got the car. Only had one dry session that wasn’t black flagged so I know I could have gone faster, but I’m happy with the improvement right off the bat. I will make a setup video of the car soon to go over everything I’ve done...
NC1 vs ND1 Miata Track Battle

The Rēshingu Neko NC1 and Chikara Motorsports ND1 meetup for a session on May 21st at the Axon X TSS track day at the Ridge Motorsports Park. Super enjoyable event as always and it was fun to push the freshly completed NC against a long time Miata track veteran like Ken! Truly an amazing driver and he certainty knows about putting a fast car together. Thanks Thomas @ c36_photography for the int...
2008 Mazda MX5 Ridge Motorsports Park PB Lap 1:56.630
มุมมอง 1Kปีที่แล้ว
First ever outing in the newly completed Rēshingu Neko MX5. To say this car surprised me was an understatement. Going into the weekend I thought lap times would be around the 2 minute mark but managed to go almost four seconds faster than that! Only 6 tenths off my best time in the Civic. Cars handling was extremely neutral and rewarding. Felt extremely good to be back behind the wheel of a RWD...

4/30/23 Axon Track Day Ridge Motorsports Park Finally! The first dry laps all season! Temperature and weather were very cooperative for setting a new PB in the Fit yesterday. Considering I’ve added weight back into the car from last year and I’m running a smaller tire than before, I’m very happy with the result. Tried a different tire pressure than I usually do (34psi front hot, 36psi rear hot)...
Honda Fit vs Honda S2000 Track Battle
มุมมอง 3.3Kปีที่แล้ว
Firstly, apologies for the less than ideal camera angle. Was trying to bring back the helmet cam but my new helmet really doesn’t have a good spot to mount a GoPro. Clip of Luke (@ asia_boi) and I battling on a very wet track. Had been raining all day long and the track was soaked. Very little grip meant attentive driving was required. Both cars are on A052 and while the S2000 is faster, the Fi...
NC Miata Full Exhaust (Tomei & PPE)
มุมมอง 2.2Kปีที่แล้ว
Apologize for some of the audio being crackly on a few clips. Need to acquire a nicer mic as this one gets very distorted with high pitch audio. Sound clips start 1:02. Recently installed an exhaust on my newly acquired 2008 NC1 Miata. The car has the factory 2.0L MZR engine. The PPE Longtube headers delete the primary cat and adds a Hi-Flow secondary cat with resonated midpipe. Muffler is a To...
2022 Track Season “Sights & Sounds”
มุมมอง 950ปีที่แล้ว
Compilation of a bunch of clips I took over the course of the summer. Mostly phone clips but plenty of pit walk, flybys, and other shenanigans thrown in. Did more driving this year than I have ever have before and I’m very grateful I got to spend so many days with great company. Can’t wait for next year! Song: Smooth Talking - Satoshi Bando
2007 Civic Si Full Exhaust Sound
มุมมอง 1.3Kปีที่แล้ว
Quick exhaust video of my 2007 Si with stock K20Z3, bolt ons, and tune. Car has PLM header with test pipe and Full Race 3” exhaust. Nice and quiet just driving around normally but has a great tone when ripping on it. Zero rasp and the drone isn’t bad at all on the highway.

Last track day of the season managed to improve my best time at the Ridge Motorsports Park to a 1:56.020. Wanted to do 1:55 as that was my goal but being so close to high bar I set for the car and myself is a great feeling. Really have enjoyed developing this car and my driving as the season progressed. Easily my most active track season I’ve ever had. Excited for some really cool off season ch...

New PB at the Ridge Motorsports Park for the Civic! So close to 55’s car definitely has the ability to do that and even faster. Just a matter of me stringing a good lap together with good track conditions. Bonus laps with my buddy DJ’s S2000. Our cars have very similar pace.

Recent TSS trackday at the Ridge Motorsports Park. Three friends from Canada came down with their Fits. So much fun driving with other Fits on track, something I haven’t been able to do before. This clip I’m driving behind Alex driving Steve’s Fit for a session.

Drove the Rēshingu Neko Fit down to ORP for the first time. Such a fun track, very technical. Was a very welcome break from the long straight away at my local track. Reverted the suspension setup on the car back to what I had before and the car behaved and performed so much better. Managed a best time of 2:08.826. Think with more practice and better lines and being more comfortable at a new tra...

Is this car on stock power?
Besides cold air intake and full exhaust, yes. Stock tune still.
@@reshinguneko2355 It’s pretty impressive you were running 5th gear before T10 with the stock motor and tune.
@@johnnyz9879 car is a 6 speed if that makes any difference haha
@@reshinguneko2355 No, still an unbelievable lap, you carried a very high speed out of T8.
@@johnnyz9879 thanks man! Definitely think I could have gone faster. Was my first time driving Sonoma and needed to drive the car 12 hours home haha.
Jack this thing looks and sounds (watching your previous vids) amazing. Hopefully jumping into an FA myself next year.
Thanks man appreciate that! Love your GE8 forever. One of my favorites for sure.
You drive a slow car really fast!!!! love it 👍
Can you demonstrate the exhaustion sound??? 🙏🏼
yo how did you get to -4.5 degrees in the front? I have BC's and I max out the camber plates, I also double up on maxed out eccentric camber bolts and I'm only hitting like -2.8 degrees. Are fortune auto top hats not limited by the strut towers in terms of camber adjustment? Or you got any other methods for getting extra camber. Thanks!
The top holes that connect the coilover to the knuckle are elongated allowing more camber adjustment. Think of the bolt hole being an oval vs a circle.
@@reshinguneko2355 Oh word. That’s nice if they come from fortune like that. Never had any issues with your adjustment slipping? I guess I’ll just take a carbide burr to mine and extend the hole.
@@pigsfly1760 nope just make sure the eccentrics are torqued correctly
Great laps! S2k battle looked like fun!
Where did you get those mirrors!!? Car looks badass🔥
is this chanelspeedboat???
that's meeee
beautiful track car!
What exhaust do you have on it I have first generation Honda fit and I’m trynna find nice sounding exhaust for it
Is the nd mapped at all
i believe so, yes
i live in cali I got the Tomei midpipe and exhaust I’m kinda scared to get the headers tho but should I go for it
Is it too loud? I’m thinking about getting the exhaust
I wouldn't with the new exhaust laws there. Anything other than factory they can tow your car basically, at minimum will write a ticket
I’m trying to sell my mustang gt for a Honda fit. Can you make another video and update us on the build and specs! This is really inspiring! I’m digging the wheel set up, and the reasoning for it!
I do plan on doing an update video in the future! Decent amount has changed since this video.
What tire and wheel setup you running
This is like those racing games where you start off with a really slow car and work your way up 😂
Where you get the bumper from?I ordered the grille and it didn’t fit on my Honda 2006 hybird
Best sound for the NC
lies
Excellent driving - do you have a full mod list for the car? couldn't find one on your other Fit videos

Some of the mods were different at the time of this video but this is how the car sits now.
beautiful - thank you sir! will certainly be stealing bits and piece of this for my Fit build@@reshinguneko2355
do you think the sedan is a better platform for the track? i'm looking to pick up an fg2 or dc5 as a light track day / weekend car
4 door is always better. If you are set on 2 door, get DC5.
Nice video, your enthusiasm for the car comes through well! I am swapping the engine/trans from a 2008 into a 1976 Fiat 128. Your video is a nice shot in the arm to see what this engine can do in a car 700 lbs. lighter!
I’m convinced you have watched every Fit video I’ve found
@@bradenbackes9272 Perhaps, when I start a project I often do deep dives into all the aspects and small details including subjective experiences.
Awesome!
how did you like your group b wheels? i’m thinking about grabbing a set for my ge8
They were good! No complaints. Little on the heavier side compared to some other 15x8 options, but not too bad. They have small ridges where the tire bead slips so the tire wont slip which is nice feature.
Specs on both cars ?
That was badass
Car looks amazing man!
Appreciate you bro ty 🫶
Chanelspeedboat!!!! Agh I don’t have IG no more but I am SO GLAD I ran into your channel. This thing fucks!
Hey man! good to have you here.
Couldn’t really make out the brand of your engine mounts. My stock ones are about to go so looking into ordering new ones. Could you send me the link to these ones . And how’s the vibration with them ?
They are Hasport. 70 durometer. Vibration isn't bad honestly.
I have a 2001 Insight similarly shod with 100 whp 2008 Fit engine/trans swap. Probably about the same hp/weight. It is great fun to drive. Would love to do a Fit but can house only 1 racer. th-cam.com/video/qcwWRObzBu4/w-d-xo.html
Any IG a/c to follow this car? 👍
@chanelspeedboat
@@reshinguneko2355 followed. Perfect 👌
looks really good. always loved the fd2 conversion and in white. nice job
Thank you!
When is the full length undertray?
Sounds like a lot of work and money lol
you can use 3mm sheets of abs from an industrial suplier wich will be probably one the cheaper mods on your car, if you access to a lift the whole process will be easier but will still require some fabrication for the mounting with rivet inserts and brackets. its the most impactful aerodynamic modification if done right since its such a big area to work with@@reshinguneko2355
Car looks great! Staggered fronts is the best way to setup Hondas, silver volks for the win. This video makes me regret not buying my brothers CSX Type S before he sold it.
Agreed! Fits the looks of the cars well.
Please dont sell this car!!!
Love the car man, keep it up I’m definitely a fan! I’m from Seattle but stationed in Japan right now hopefully soon ill be complete the my feels front end! Would definitely love to meet up !
Let me know when you are back! I’ll be in Japan next month actually. Where are you stationed?

How do you like the hybrid racing short shifter on the fence between hybrid n acuity I hear a lot of mix between both for track.
No complaints so far with the Hybrid shifter. Probably cant go wrong with either but I havent tried Acuity yet.
what a F***** run! this was very satisfying
Thank u for the build break down and especially camber and suspension set up
My pleasure!
Not sure how i stumbled across this channel but I am thankful for the algorithm. Love the car man and its setup nearly identical to my 9th gen. My favorit part is definitely those fenders and I would love to run something similar on mine...even if I have to custom make them.
Appreciate it! Nice to see some other track Civics.
Awesome!! I definitely need a 06-11 civic lx roof on my type-s Acura/fd2. its one of my biggest pet peeves for the 8th gen si civics is that they never could come without a sunroof from factory, slick top will always look much better in my opinion. Great video the car has come a very long way!!
Yeh the sunroof drives me absolutely nuts it’s a heavy eyesore. Thanks dude!
You did an amazing job on this car and it looks just like something you'd see at Tsukuba time attack events. Would love to build one of these! -- How many miles are on this car? Seems like a lot that I've seen have high mileage
178k right now. Thanks Jonathan!
@@reshinguneko2355 Good to know! Happy holidays
This car is so fricking sick man. I’m currently k-swapping my integra for a track build and man I’m getting tons of inspiration from your civic.
Love to hear it. Excited to see your Integra when it’s done
Pretty dope bro 👍 I got the same car, 2010 I’m currently working on
damn, my car is 3000 lbs at the truck scales :(
Thiccque
A work of art. This civic was tastefully modded and looks great! Like gran turismo for real.
Means a lot, thank you!
can't wait to see your times next year, you put down some great times this year. i'm working on a k24 ep3 build right now that i'm hoping to get under 2min
You got it EZ my friend
This looks so fun. Your cart sounds great!
Do you have a mid pipe in or just the back muffler? Im new to the car scene and just want to start with a muffler but could also do midpipe if it would make a huge difference
Yes full exhaust header back
Never been a fan with the look of the first gen but yours look nice how its setup
i love the look of the first gen and I think they ruined the front end with the 2nd gen a bit. However the 2nd gen is way better in every way performance wise besides a few extra pounds. Eventually I plan to get a 2nd gen and make it a crazy track car. Right now I have an 03 wrx but I don't want to modify it and beat on it like I could with a dedicated track/autox car.
