The K-Powered Spoon Fit We Never Knew We Needed...

- The Chronicles Vlog Series (Season 6 Episode 20)
I'd be the first one to tell you that we don't highlight very many Honda Fits on this channel, but this one is a special one. We first spotted Esteban Gonzalez's K-powered Honda Fit at our Chronicles and Coffee gathering a few months back. I was highly impressed with the collection of parts that it had, as well as the amount of work that went into it , that I knew it would be an ideal choice to have on an episode of our "Drive-By" series. Coincidentally enough, Esteban watched our first episode and was intrigued by our friend Ken Suen and his Civic. He needed some custom fabrication work done to his car so he contacted Ken and the Fit went over to him not long after the meet. I asked Esteban if he was interested in bringing his Spoon Fit by when the car was ready and he was more than happy to let us dig into it. Since Ken had become so familiar with the car, I asked him to stop by when we were filming as well so he could provide some of his own insight and also detail the work he put into it.

Had such a blast having them go over the car in such detail. Glad you got some action shots too, would of been a shame not to see it run.
One of the best Integras I seen built, back in the day.
Thanks for sharing your Fit! Really love the OG Panda/Spoon look.
awesome car ! glad we got to see it.

What axles did you end up having to use ? Did you have to change out the hubs ?
I love how he handled that charger. 4 cylinders basically STOCK, straight had the charger wind out his full 8 cylinders and didn’t pass until the run was already over. You have to respect a Honda head from my era, you could tell he was like whatever with that guy. Awesome build and dope video Joey. I like this format, felt like I was kicking with you guys.
Lol
Cup holder game is underrated in the Fit.
really is underrated. I love it.
Fucking facts
There's 6 in the front of the car 😅 I love it
@Dylan Wang Mine has got that.
Love packing joints in all those nooks and crannies
Lol og Honda guy vs. 21 yr old charger guy... Esteban kept his composure! Mad respect Joey !
Ken's fabbed radiator support and everything is really cool. Made the car look more complete & unique
even though it's mostly hidden I can really appreciate stuff like that
The car I’ve been dreaming to build for the last couple of years! This thing is so sick!
this is more of a rendition of a modern civic hatch than the current civic hatch XD its small, lightweight, and probably a lot of fun to drive.
Me too !
When you see a honda fit with spoon calipers, you know there is something going on😅
What about wilwood calipers?
when u have 1500$ calipers u know there is something going on 😂😂😂
If you use the K24Z engine it’s much more electronically compatible and simplifies the swap.
I wish more persons did build like this that a true and authentic; rather than bagging and putting a wide body on cars.
Preach
alot in thailand
Go to track days. Theres alot of cars tuned to whats essential and efficient
Yes sir
A lot in Southeast Asia and Japan!
Something about this type of Honda community makes me wish there was more people like this on the Subaru side. Who needs big power when you can just do a stiff, lightweight, and clean build. Love the video ❤
His Mugen Type-R is still my favorite of all time, it's a Sport Compact Car magazine that's in a regular read stack of mine.
Awesome to see him back in a Honda, really well-done car.
Loads of love for a Honda Fit Guy from Malaysia 🇲🇾 Fit GE’s egg look is really what gets me
Sweet build!! Never really looked at a fit but this totally changes my mindset about these cars! Indeed a great build for sure. Appreciate the content. Stay safe down in the southland!🍻👌😷..
I owned a 78 round body Civic and currently own an 07 Fit. Esteban's comment "the continuation of what
the Civic should have been" is bang on. Nice car!
Why Honda never made an SI of the Fit/Jazz is beyond me.
Sweet Fit here though!
It's only available in Japan. I think its Fit RS
Is one in uk also
There was a fit Si but just badging and misc stuff
@@6000pounds So basically, a Pseudo SI.
@@Swordsquire yeah it was just badging and I believe some interior stuff. They're pretty rare. Nothing worth chasing after though.
After all these years!!! a Honda Fit!!! Thank you!!!!
HONDA FIT, THE BEST DAILY
love how soft spoken everyone is. everyone is so nice :)
To save you all Googling.
Weight of Fits by generation, according to Wiki
GD - 1084kg
GE - 1070kg
GK - 1020kg
I guess it's up to us to do the conversion to lbs.
@@h2junkey There are only 3 countries that use the imperial system.
Don't you think it is about time USA, Liberia and Myanmar joined the rest of the world and transition to the metric system?
iwearmoccos we are converting 1” at a time. lol
@@epgonzalez1573 So you mean, 2.5cm at a time?! haha
iwearmoccos we do use metric. Both are used, you’re an idiot
Plan on a K for mine once the motor blows. :P I really love these cars. Such a good point in saying they really are basically what Civic should have been.
Sounds good.
My first car was a GD3 Fit. I will always have love for these cars.
My ex had a GD. It hurt to let that thing go. The first car I put on the road was a GE after a decade and a half on bikes. It's fun as hell.
finally, this episode! my real inspiration on building my fit/jazz. keep up the good work! cheers from indonesia. 🤙
Goals man! I have a '12 and I want to do this one day.
These videos have become a highlight for me since working from home, keep it up!
This is one of the coolest Fit builds I've ever seen.

"I have a theory about guys that drive Chargers".
I wanted to hear it so bad.
It's probably exactly what we all think about them 😂
That Charger was getting them tho def not stock.
👀Someone wanna share? So we’re all on the same page.
@@simpleman8883
Tiny pp 🤫
Man that fit is done right..
I haven't smiled in a long time like when i drive my car it wants to kill me but this i need this in my life.... LMAO 😂😂😂 33:30
I drive a GD3 and just seeing a JDM front conversion, I know it's not an ordinary GE8 lol. Those JDM conversions are not cheap.
I love this car. Everything about it is dope!

Keepup the awesome content Joey!

Is a good chassis, it handles well
50:52 sounds like a b series! sounds so good!
I skip straight good bits
Agree sounds like a B series. Man the k20 in the Civic 06-11 doesn’t sound good
Not enough Honda Fit videos I can’t wait to do this to my 2019 Fit one day

Looks like a cute rsx
Love it, driving it since 2014 ❤️🔰
I remember his Integra I actually bought that issue and remember seeing his car in their man that was an awesome build.
my guilty pleasures
Inspiring
Haven’t even started the video, and I already gave It a like! 👍🏽💯
i sa must!
OMG!! 😍😍😍😍
I knew i need this
Goals are to build a car this clean! the attention to detail is insane love it the fits are underated not fast but what gonda is LUL still love me some hondas
I have a Honda Fit. Love it!!!
RSR Exmag GT2 is the exhaust you guys were talking about I think. Also, that Fit is perfect.
This cars dope.
This is a badass setup wtf!
Awesome vlog Joey! Once this whole covid chaos blows away, I'm going to make a drive down to SoCal and you guys can take my K24 GD Fit for a rip! 250whp, 200ft/lbs and 9,000RPM in a 2,300lbs car can get pretty addicting haha.
Though the JDM Fit/Jazz may get lighter as they get newer, the USDM Fits we get do get heavier as they get newer (2471lbs for GD, 2540lbs for GE, 2595lbs for GK). More airbags, more safety features, etc etc! Hence why I decided to build the GD!
Also,
PRB - 02-06 RSX Type-S
PRC - 02-06 JDM DC5 Integra Type-R
RBC - 06-11 Civic Si / CSX Type-S
RRC - 06-11 JDM FD2 Civic Type-R
=D

9k rpm on a 24? Lol RIP
@@kensua6 all day long! It will be more reliable once I stroke it to 2.7L though hahah
Ronald R I don’t know man lol 9k on K20/k24 ain’t ideal unless your engine is built af what set do you have ?
I'm so amazed even I dont understand anything there are saying and finished the video. Just starting out. Just bought a 2008 Honda fit RS AWD.
That’s some mean accelerating!
Am I the only one who thought Ken was missing a leg? 1:24
JChanceylolz yea I thought I lost a leg too lolol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
33:30 I'm dying LOL
When you pulled out the orange one that is exactly like mine, year, color, and trim, I knew it was time to establish a new long-term goal.
Great car, great build. Ken is a riot glad to see him in more of your videos. Love the fit but Ill stick with my shit box EM1 lol.
yo thats sweeeeet!!
My buddies and I use to do this but with beers haha
I love this car man... My girlfriend has a 2013 Sport I have been wanting to K swap... and I have an FA5 donor in the driveway should I choose to pull the trigger. Aside from the power, I love driving the Fit. A K has always belonged under the hood of this car!!! Mad props man, again, love it.
The GE8 Fit with some minor chassis tuning is brilliant. Needs only just a bit more power.
Miss that California sunset
43:49 LOL Joey
🏆
Yuta is right about the db8 exhaust, its much longer than all the others from the silencer to the tip.
I like this
Swapping the engine in is easy but the electronics is a pain in the ass. I was hoping the electronics side of the swap was going to be explained.
Here in Wisconsin we actually have sprayed the roads with cheese brine lol.
Didn't even answer the question..they another guy start a new question.. Hahaha
another great video :) love seeing the content, content is soo chill love seeing the builds, upload faster, please lol
hey, joey what settings are you using to film on the go pro? thanks. oh, by the way, I received the stickers I purchased from you guys in the mail lol I think it took a little while longer to come because of everything that has been happening
Settings aren’t anything out of the ordinary, just factory settings shot at 4K and 30fps
Ken is fucking great. Lmao.
Yo!!! That's Yuta Akaishi?! Bro his s30 was so bomb!
I'm new round here and new to the Honda scene. Y'all are dope, I'm subscribing haha
Dream of mine to swap my fit, very nice to watch
I love fits and the idea of modding them, they are so underrated, but the shape of those headlights are too cute for me to take it seriously ...
