Danny’s GD3 Build

Hello! I’ve been lurking since around august of last year when I purchased my fit. It seems like a good time to start a build thread .

I picked up my GD3 from a good buddy of mine for a price I couldn’t say no to. This is how she looked when I first brought it home. For sure rough, but a solid runner.





Specs when I got it:

165000 miles
TIEN springs with KYB struts
DC intake
Buddy Club shirt shifter

At first I wasn’t planning on modding the car (haha) as I have a 2015 Fiesta ST that I also play with.




But of course, it was only matter of time before I had to start modifying the fit lol. Plus, this car is so cheap and easy to maintain it’s not even funny. I was in shock when I walked out of the Honda dealership with everything for an oil and transmission fluid changed for under 50 bucks..

My goal with the fit is to have a solid track car that can be driven reliable too and from events. Not concerned about making crazy power, just something fun to drive on and off the track.

The first purchase for the car was a set of 16x7 rota slips with some dookie indy500s. I had to do something to get rid of the steelies.


A few months after that I ended up picking up some Fortune 500 coils off Facebook marketplace.





Got them installed just in time for an autox event.




This was my 3rd event. 1 autox prior to this and 1 track day. I’m still a very novice driver, but I felt very comfortable in the fit.
