Wink Honda Fit GD3 vs. Scion FR-S, EVOX, and Dusted by S2000 :/

I went to the racetrack this weekend and had a blast up there! It was my first time out with a progress RSB added and 55 more hp and tq than I'm used to! Only sad thing were my tires, which were not very good and self-destructed itself throughout the day :/ well.. Here is what I documented!

First time out, whoops that's a lotta oversteer!


2nd time, nice challenge with EVO and Celica!


3rd time, FR-S battle! S2000 game-ender :/ haha (FR-S comes in at 7 minutes and S2000 around 11)


Chase cam view from S2000, embarrassing dirt drop :/


Overall I had lots of fun, JUST NEED TIRES! My stock clutch held 170hp well!

Dang that oversteer is out of control.

Was it only the rear tires that were bad? If not, maybe you want to do some suspension tuning too because you were all over the place lol.

Looks like your Fit is growing up to be something great.

hahah all 4 tires are the same, 205/50 420 treadwear MAXXIS R4S

yeah I adjusted the shocks on the 2nd video and all the "excessive" oversteer went away RSB did a HUGE difference. Before this it would always gently push, now it can go either way with the pulse of the brake or flick of the wheel

Btw I'm still on stock clutch o_o how is your aftermarket combo holding up?

Cant wait to see what happens with some quality "race rubber" and some suspension tweaks

You'll be running away from the S2K in no time

It seems to be holding up fine. I figured out - it's easier to drive aggressively than conservatively with this setup.

I still remember driving your car at the meet, I was so scared!

That does make sense, similar to how my friend's RX-8 is. He had a lightened flywheel as well... I had a hell of a time trying to drive that

Driver Mod! Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. But I'm sure with some good tires thing thing will hold. Be sure to upgrade your clutch also, sticky tires put a big strain on the clutch.
