Day 2 of intensive detailing job for my next car show. Using Meguiars Mirror Glaze products first to polish the paint and then the wax today to protect. Hitting the garage to detail the interior, clean up the wheels/rims and do the engine bay then once it heats up doing the wax. Lovely way to spend 2 days of vacation time but well worth it for how the Fit will look when I am done. This is my last big show and then a Secrete Santa Show in October then my baby is officially retired from showing.

Finally put on my Carbotech 913 drum shoes on last night. Replacing them wasn't bad, just have to adjust them and bed them in.

Mr. Fit has been a real staple here and I'm going sure going to miss him here.
What's next? CRX?

I may when if my friend ever replaces his rear shoes on his BBP GD3. I've been quite busy lately and haven't really had the time to skim through the forums like I usually do other than to make a quick update post.

Changed the oil and noticed that the inner boot on the passenger drive axle is busted. I just replaced the axle a few months ago because the outer one was busted.

It's very nice. Redshift did a great job with it.

I'm still not 100% happy with the ride though. I think the fit's short wheelbase and suspension geometry just won't ever have a good ride.

Hey thanks. I think I'm going to just buy another set of wheels because finding this wheel seems to be impossible
