How to build a Honda Fit Spoon k20 Swapped: Midlife Crisis

- Hello everyone,
In this episode we bring you Esteban with his amazing Kswap Spoon inspired Honda FIT. Esteban is no stranger to building Hondas but after being out of the game for a bit he decided to get back into it and his weapon of choice is this awesome FIT that he bought from one of his neighbors. What a jewel of a find and what an even track monster he has turned the little car into. Amazing job on the details that we can and cannot see on this build. A lot of fab work and trickery from his buddies and the results are nothing but perfection. Esteban still has more plans for this awesome FIT but for now he enjoys it at the track and plans on tracking it once a month! He sure is back in the game for good. I hope you all enjoy the episode and thank you all for the love and support to #automotiveanatomy

Proportioning valve is the answer to the brake problem. Fits are fun cars. People think I'm crazy for spending some money on minor suspension mods, wheels and tires, and they just don't know.
I have one with 530k, runs like a top, put good tires and brakes and handles amazingly, would be interesting to see what some minor tweaks would do for sure
I just purchased an 07’ Fit Sport with 60k miles and I love it. Lacking in power but still a lot of fun on back roads etc.
Curvy roads and traffic are great equalizers. Those 500 plus horsepower sedans and SUV's don't do anything special most of the time other than guzzle fuel and costing a bunch in insurance premiums.
Does minor enhancements like suspension upgrade, stickier tires etc make much of a difference on a fit? Provided that mine is a 2017 gk5 and has a basic L12b and not the L15b
Yeah. The tires especially. Springs, you just can't go too heavy or low. With wheels it's possible to have a wider wheel/tire combination that's lighter than OEM. With camber bolts corner grip can be improved and the outer edges of the tire can be saved a little bit. Coil overs are good if you want to go there. A rear sway bar and strut bar are preferences that add some ride harshness, but not entirely necessary.
That Fit is pretty awesome. I like seeing odd ball cars done up. Nice quality and very clean build. The JDM front end is legit!
Not so odd in Asia, they are done up a lot there..
Thanks! 👍
I have a Honda fit and those things are light and the 50 50 split makes entering a loop in a freeway Hella fun
ahahh that thing is super fun man.
Bay areaaaaa 510
Guys who build Jazz/fits are always chill, and love that garage. Got my eye on that daytona wall clock
haha so many things to keep the eye on lol
The only Paul Newman I will ever own!
"Go-fast-dad car" I can dig it!
Yes!
Damn what a beautiful car. This fills me with so much joy as an owner of a GE ('09) 5-speed. It may only have the stock 117 hp engine, but boy is it fun to drive. It just _feels_ fast.
I admit most of that comes from the sheer pucker factor of driving this thing at high speed, but that's why I love it. Not to mention it looks slick as hell.
Thanks for tuning in man.
my mom is giving me her fit and since its coming from my mom im gonna sell my jeep and make it my forever summer car gonna get coil overs first and a cai and then k20 swap t
@@pjlevesque2543 Something about the way you wrote your comment makes me seriously doubt you
Can we take just a moment to appreciate Esteban's garage?!
The spoon graphics on those cabinets, looks super rad!
Saw this car while I was at work (Fedex courier) I stopped and freaked the hell out lol such a dope build
Super duper cool build!
You know you’re a real Honda aficionado when you call the rear wing lip a “gurney flap” lol
Dope Fit 🤙🏽
hah that is right Luis!
I AM NOW GOING OUT TO BUY A HONDA FIT.. found a 2013 silver and I’m going for it
Have fun with it Christian!
I owned a 2nd and 3rd gen manual Fits.. both were great cars. I always saw potential just didnt have the means at the time. Your build looks insanely fun to drive.
Very nice! Thank you for sharing.
And he has Spoon cabinets DAMN Esteban.....
Killing it huh lol
Good stuff dude, he's a true OG remember seeing his type r all mugen loved the way that one looked too.
Spoon livery on the work bench 👌
Absolutely on point man
This fit is cool, but that garage is super awesome!
Glad you like it!
Interior aside I can see myself doing this to my fit as well
That motor is the perfect FIT for that car 🤜🤛
I see what you did there. 😁
YESSS!
This is the sickest Fit build, period. Big props to Esteban from another Fit fanatic (GE8 as well).
You can never go wrong with Spoon. I have seen 1 or 2 of these cars fixed up here they are pretty cool. But here as I said it's most stance here or show cars not race. I love how happy you get man.
hah this things are so rad lol Love this builds!
Late comment but the Honda Jazz platform is really underrated!!! Especially in a full Spoon Sports specs (which I'm a huge fan of ever since they've made their EK9 Type R Spoon).
It literally sounds like a tin can....Honda's are the muthafuggin BEST!!
Quick little beast man.
M.O.B works autobody ! Wish they were still around. Nice vid
Same here!
Love it! Love it when gearheads get back in the game. I also had a hiatus cor like 6 years while We got the fam on track. Got back in the scene in 2020. Went from dsm's and a galant vr4 to a New edge Mustang. Shes not fast but shes fun ! Love the guys mindset. Those little fits are great cars. Ive owned one and plan on buying another one next year for my sons first car.i currently dayli a 6 speed tsx and cant help to think what a hoot it would be to drive a fit with a k24 in it.
Fantastic build! Not too over the top, put together to be used. I want a fit now...
Go for it!
Great build! Very reliable! And nice color scheme in the garage ! 👍
Lol, thanks! Was a fun covid project with the kids trying to keep them busy!
Glad you like it!
Beautiful clean spoon inspired Honda fit😁
We agree!
SO CLEAN SO SIMPLE. Very nice execution!
I have a full virgin 96 GSR and a full virgin CX EG. Both never been molested and owned by old folks just sitting for my kids. Now I’m thinking I was a fit and leave the other two alone lol.
Get a FIT lol
thing is cute as a button!! man it's adorable lol..great build. Saw it on the Chronicles, yet I wanted a full interview and breakdown. I love the chronicle decals on it, great touch. I bet not many people spot them. I want those so bad but I don't want to mess with my paint. Thank you for this. loved it and dope garage!
Thanks man! Appreciate the love!
Glad you enjoyed it! I saw it there first as well and fell in love Ramon. Thanks for watching.
Saw it there too!
Jiu Jitsu master in the back right photo... I saw that pic every day I trained jits at RGA . Love the fit too thanks for the vid
Beautiful and very fitting. Super clean. I'm a fan when the fit first came out. 04 is my favorite.
Good choice! i want me a FIT too.
Damn it just when I think your videos can’t get better. I will build a fit one day. This gen is THE best fit. Man this thing is so nasty. So clean. Og rockin the katman knob.
Is all the builders man! Nothing special about me. Thanks for watching.
Well done my friend!!!! Looks and sounds excellent!!!!
Thank you kindly!
Awesome! Thanks again.
My pleasure! You are a very humble person and we absolutely appreciate what you have done and will continue to do for the car community. Thank you for your time!
Best Fit I've seen. Very clean. Nice work.
Nice Fit, Still have my kseries turbo swap gd3 and my 2nd one is a l15 js racing turbo fit. Still garaged and r very fun to drive
Awesome GE SPOON

This like a mini EG-EK. Good looking!
Nice breakdown 👍
Glad you liked it!
Well done! Nice GE!
Thanks for the visit
My kind of build 👍
You need a mic bro. Excellent content. Keep them rolling!
Working on it! Ordered today my guy.
VERY NICE...rear brakes need a fluid valve..adjustable..Thanks for sharing..love Hondas..PeAce;)
Thank you for the support Joe.
I have an adjustable proportioning valve, it’s turn all the way down too! It’s the dial next to my shifter.
@@epgonzalez1573 after i sent that,i relized you would have the valve..i ve built a 08 sport..it would bring the rear wheels off the pavement in turns..lol..it was fun fun fun.. take care..peace be with you💜🤴
Damn, beautiful Fit!
Seen it at Buttonwillow this weekend. Badass car
I absolutely love this!!!
super rad Abel!!
Dude - my 08 got shot up - I have the canbus harness together with tape and managed to save it from the crusher. It’s still got bullet holes down the quarter but it’s kicking! I’d love to do this to mine
Proper Clean 👌. Built by an authentic enthusiast
This Fit is so clean! Absolutely love it.
Glad you like it!
That vtec kick was crazy
Sounds perfect brotha!
Nice love it telling fit is the way because there so light and the swap to a k motor is the the way fit life
Very true!
jdm rear bumper made a huge difference in how this thing looks too
such awesome build man
If you don't know, the Circuit Hero ITR use to be his black Mugen Mobile, the most timeless Type-R in my opinion.
Super dope build man
Car looks great!
I think so too!
Love my Honda Fit. Can’t wait until I get my coils and wheels and tires🏎💨
Good choice!
I just setup my 09 with good tires and wheels as well as coils and this thing is a mega handling BEAST.
@@AC-hg4fr I’m hoping to get the progress rear sway bar soon. After that I can’t really think of anything to change
Honda "crash" (camber) bolts if you haven't done it yet.
SO PLAIN AND SIMPLE BUT A BUNCH OF FUN SO IT SEEMS THAT WOULD BE A GREAT FOR THOSE GUY'S THE DAD & 3 BROTHERS WITH THE C.R.X. NEXT WOULD BE A "MOOGEN F!T" OR "J'S RACING F!T" ETC...... THAT TWO SEATER LOOKS GREAT MAN HE DID A GREAT JOB ON THIS WHEELS THANKS FOR THE CONTENT GUS ✌OUT
My favorite fit!!

Bad ass garage!
Facts man. Thanks for watching Steve.
cleannnnnnnnn
Congrats on a fantastic video episode and congrats to @epgonzalez1573 also. Everything is awesome, the car and the story behind it. I just want to ask the builder where did he get those side mirrors?
Thanks in advance!
Glad you enjoyed it! Super duper awesome build!
Hey Guys!
Very interesting,
Do you have a instructional video on the full build?
Thanks
I would say look at forums. Step by step would be difficult to document from beg to end.
Beautiful car. I always thought white with black wheels was a good look
You need to get two mics it Will improve the quality sound of the interview
Will do man!!!
Diantre brother que bestia!!!
YESINDEED!
such a nice looking car, Esteban really did this car up to be unique. Does anyone know which spoon steering hub he went with? I'm really interested in getting one to install my spoon steering wheel
Love it! More Fit content!! :D
More to come!
Spoon Decal on the Cabinets 🥄 😂
i recently got one and this one is of my ideal dream builds haha
Nice garage!
nice car bro
I found the center console with armrest new on e-bay for the Honda Fit for $44. "Rotatable Storage Box Armrest Center Console For Honda Fit Jazz 2009-2013 12 11" Brand: XUKEY. Made in California.
Precioso el juguete Esteban un trabajo fantástico me gusta un poco más la estética del mio 2004 pero tampoco le hago ascos a esa generación que lo disfrutes amigo casi puedo escuchar cuando entra el vtec desde Berlin😉😍✌️🔥🏁
Istimewa 👍
Un honda pata boosted .thats nice
awebo lol
Looks amazing man.. great job.
Thanks a ton!
Clean
Amazing build, but headers are stock k20 headers and work? I see the only option for the GD fits are custom or home fabricated so was just wondering on the header setup.
what modification needed to install the k20 engine? is there need to adjust on the firewall? how about the engine support do you need to mod it also?
I bought a 16’ fit brand new
It not the best looking car, but it’s really fun to drive , like a golf cart with a little more power LOL
Hitting corners are the best
This video has inspired me to add some mods
honda and Park tools! my kinda garage
... and Chaka
I know man. It gave me ideas for when I have my garage
Very cool car. I have the same one minus the upgrades. Any ac issues?
Nice spoon fit
2 questions 1. WTH is the Battery? 2. What type of device are you using in place of your Dashboard/Odometer?
Yow bro this build is awesome! Can you share with me what speedometer did you use in this Fit?
If you do the math and k24 swap super charger that thing and it’s basically has the same weight and horsepower of an f3 car. Minus the down force
Honda Fit ♥️
Awesome build! Do you know the color code of yellow spoon? I saw that you used it in your K20 head.
Nice ....awesome.. 👍
Nice fit
