Big, in-depth projects are great and all, but it's nice to break it up with these quick little builds that are always so satisfying to see what big transformations can be made with just a few parts

A lot of companies are starting to make parts for them again. It all sprung because it dominates its class for racing though.
I had an 08 Fit Sport back in the day for a few years, it was such a great car and while it was excessively slow it was still so much fun to drive lol. I was out of the car scene for a decade but just recently bought an S2000 bc it was always a dream to have one.. I've been daily driving it for a few months and it's SO GOOD being back in a fun car.
I think wrapping the roof black would look pretty good.

Caleb, I like the switch to the smaller DIY mods on the daily! It looks way better and you should have touched up the paint on the rear passenger side bumper. Looks great though! -Shane
Honestly, this is one of the best builds i've seen in a while. Affordable, relatable and big difference in the end. Bravo! 👍
I love how you started with an NA Miata, going through all those project cars (still miss the Nardo RX-7 a lot, it was clean 👌) Doing the school bus camper conversion, drift truck, etc. Now you have your own shop and you’ve learned so much over the years. Keep doing what you do best Caleb
wooooo!! Welcome to the Fit community! I just bought my first 08 Fit Sport, cool to see you're making your fit your own, also helps me see what steps I gotta take to put in my own Coilovers, hope you enjoy and thanks for sharing the content!
This is a really fantastic video, Caleb! Your quality has gone up so dramatically since getting this new shop, it’s an incredible thing to witness. Keep up the great work!! :)
I really enjoyed this. I’ve loved the eclipse build but it’s always nice to switch it up every once in a while.
I loved the way the black fron lip looked, probably even more than the painted one. Exited to see some videos on different cars :)
Hell yeah. Why am I so invested in this already. Dream 1st car for me.
Really nice to see something other than the eclipse!
10/10 finished product. Looks great. 0/10 for not putting the engine in the back. 🤣
This is awesome dude Plan on following your lead in building a fun daily for the kidos first car. Learning a lot here and lovin the fun. Great video content and enjoyable editing makes your channel an easy 👍 thanks again dude cheers 🍻
thank you for turning me on to tire streets! love the accelera tires!!
I love hatchbacks, they're just so cool and practical. I've got a MK5 GTI myself and it's a blast!
Looks great! That way of thinking at the beginning is exactly how I think when I'm doing home renovation projects. If I'm going to do one thing may as well go a step further and one thing leads to the other. That's how I have fully painted walls in my crawlspace. I originally just wanted insulation lol.
Yep, she's a beauty! Not over the top, but bespoke enough to indicate that she means business. Superb job as always bro!
Nice build man. Easy simple and very good!! I watching all of your videos. Greetings from Greece!
I bought a 2010 Fit and it was the best purchase I made, checks all the boxes and i drive it over 100 miles a day :D
you have a really great garage mate, love it! thx for sharing~
I like how this shows that even on a limited budget you can do a few things to make a car more enjoyable. Also, your cameraman/friend is right. Those wheels basic
Honda looks so cool now, love it! I used double sided tape to attach spoiler to my Volvo V70. It lasted 6 months, until almost flew off because tape couldnt hold it anymore. There was marked spots for holes through trunk door, so took my time and drilled those holes and bolted it in, after that no drama with it anymore 😎
I love builds like these, the fit looks dope!
Just found the channel, Love that I’m not alone with this thought process 😂 subbed 🎉
And just like that Honda Fits have just doubled in price. Thanks a lot Gingium........lol
I know I keep saying this, but it's true. I'm kind of new to the channel, and I have to admit that I'm REALLY REALLY enjoying it! The content itself, the vibe, the editing, pre preproduction, everything! Thank you!

Love Honda Fit! I never did this to mine but I wish I did. I loved the car. It was a great deal too. I have a GTI now which is also a top daily car.
I am a big Honda Fit fan and admirer. I wish I have one and mod it like you did. Great job! Made it look so easy.
Aw yeah! That Tigerbelly podcast playing on the TV. Been thinking of upgrading my daily as well, good to have a video reference like yours.
Awesome build. finally something worth watching
😂 from one tire to all this love it ❤️
Really nice Fit transformation, love that car :)

Fit was the best small car I ever owned. 100% recommend that you get solid mounts for the shifter assembly. Best modi did for that car.
The music selection is soo good. Love the jazzy lofi
That's a great looking Fit. Good job Caleb
This video was awesome. Good job buddy
Dude what a nice detail! The QR Code in the last shot is a link to this channel! Props
I'm excited for this. I have a blue one and it's one of the most practical cars on the planet.
YES! FINALLY. THE PERFECT BUILD
Your wheels do look sick bro, good choice man :) hello from New Zealand
DIY mods are awesome! I mean , I dig the big build content as well, but its a nice break.
You gave me a thumbs up on the highway one day! I was cruising along in my 2 Door WRX
NICE !!! I love fit rice, keeps me slim and trim
Used to have a GD3. This really made me miss it. Looks awesome!
I like your builds and mods. Now, your music mixes are 👍 great
That monologue at the start was hilarious!! All you needed was 2 new tyres & it snowballs into a build, that’s EXACTLY how it works!🤣

Good luck with your Fit (Jazz) here in the UK. I have had two of these and in my opinion one of the best cars I have had in fourt y four years of driving.
Finally something different. Great video!
I love this car glad to see it’s getting some love
I've got the same exact car... and the fit has a giant interior for its size... I folded the back seats and I fit 30 (thirty) plastic chairs through the boot at once. 👍
I live right by The Tail of the Dragon. I'd love to meet up with you when you come up here. I'm excited to see how the car comes out either way!! Keep up the good work
Looks so freaking good!
Really enjoyed this video , and the intro was pretty funny lol
Glad we could help out! 🙌
So clean 💯
LOVE IT GREAT PROGRESS
Honestly I like this idea, I also find it funny how many are on board. Since in my country the car scene throws a lot of hate at people who do up certain cars...(Australia) But after all your car doesn't matter, it's about you enjoying it & having fun... Nice MCM shirt btw :)
DOPE!...I've been a fan of the 1st Gen FIT that came here to the U.S. and cool to see someone Modded one on KZread too!..... You need to do some Custom Headlights too!... Get the Infiniti Q45 multi lens LED Headlight Projectors...they fit nicely in the headlight housings!
Excellent work
All of the mods you did are perfect for it. It looks awesome even though it still looks like a mini Odyssey 😂
Tiny cars can be so much fun to drive and super cheap. May I suggest a DIY rear torsion beam brace?
Based on that last clip, this thing is gonna sound excellent with an intake and exhaust. Looking forward to it.
Happy to see someone else modify a fit, love my 2012 looks like an st lol
Got close with the band saw a couple times! Hahaha. The Fit def has a lot more drip now. ;)
That honda jazz look f sick dude, 11/10 😍respect
I’ve found using Avalon ceramic after cleaning the head lights helps keep them from yellowing. I did a clay bar and simple 9.99$ yellowing kit and ceramic left over from my SHO
I have a GE8 fit so I'm definitely going to following this series closely to see what happens with this build.
Ging I’ve literally been here since the video games early early days love to see the growth
Looks sick. I also like a bit of rubber in my tires. Not a fan of giant rims. I had 16" on my SW20 MR2 which was perfect.
Loving the FIT content
Another fellow Fit owner. I'm running on the Konigs on Function and Form Type 2s. Low-key wished I would've went with BC's due to the fact that the bolt holes have a little more space for camber.
Loved the first bit Ging, although I would've gotten 16s instead of 15s but still looks *chef's kiss*

@@FATmenDRIVEtrucks ok, the Hypergrams in 15's weigh around 12-13 pounds were the 16's weigh around 14 pounds. That means that's just a 4-8 pound weight reduction on wheels for a car that is just a fun daily car that can be used for light tracking, also if he wanted he could fit bigger brakes on 16's so your opinion on better braking can also be BS.
as a viewer from the uk, this video makes me happy
Looks so dope, the only thing I can think that could be done aswell is wrap the roof black
Your Fit looks great, dude!!! I've got an 07 Fit Sport nearing 200k, and it's definitely the best daily on the market. My uncle bought it new, gave it to my mom, then she gave it to me. I've put 50k on it in a year, delivery driving, and road tripping. Mine is in the blue that your side skirts came in, and I hope I can get it to be as clean as yours eventually. It's like Honda intended the Fit to be slammed 😈.
I’ve been waiting for Fit content 😈
I know BC Racing is a sponsor but how do they compare to the Fortune Autos on your Miata? also the Honda build appears to be what I'm doing to my Mustang, nothing over the top to keep it a reliable daily, but still fun, so I like it so far
I appreciate the Silversun Pickups reference !
Love the Fit, I ended up getting an Element for sleeping in but I probably should have checked out the Fit because it makes way more sense as a daily.
Man that was satisfying... Removing the rotor thing
Why am I so excited for this build
This doesn’t make me want to buy a Honda Fit, but nice upgrades and you can see the results quick! Awesome setup on the video! It’s how every car project spirals out of control.
Wow, I like the rain guards that slip into the window cracks. Looks way nice. Mine just stick to the door frame and they look kinda janky :D
The intro was me recently with needing to do my suspension linkage on my mazda🤣 i went from "just doin some maintenance" to now im in the market for a turbo 13b, and a sti 6 speed trans and diff. Cause well im at it might as well swap it and make it awd
that is one fit looking Fit. i'd only like to touch up the scratches on the rear bumper, No full respray or anything but maybe just one of those paint marker thingies that somewhat hides the lines. Other than that i'd say it done and ready
Love the video. I'm in the process of adding Sport bits to my Fit as well. Did you end up using double sided tape on the side skirts too?
