Feels like stock actually, I don't have pictures of it because I was too busy trying to get it in during the weekend so I could use the car to get to work on monday!!! grrr but here is the old OEM clutch that I took out, it has about 76k miles on it, it doesn't look bad.. but because I had to change the transmission I did a new clutch too, i wish the clutch was something is out in the open.. its so JDM looking.. all of this weird purple metal on it, i wish i had a picture of the new one before i popped it in. It's also made in Japan if your curious about that, to me it wasn't that important.. but when I saw the kind of metal it was made of and the fact it was made in Japan it sorta explained the cost.

Also am I reading the 1st bullet right? "New Transmission"??



Looks great as usual Burzpaw! So good it makes me =)
Yep! had to get a new transmission, heres my old one =( I drive my car really hard.. and I carry alot of cargo, so I think its possible I may be at fault for breaking it for so many miles of heavy cargo and heavy acceleration literally everyday.... I may red lining my fit atleast 3 times a day.. and I been doing this for almost 7 years now.

Installed my Cobra Monaco Pro seat. Shout out to FittedonEm for the tip about adding spacer to the front of the sliders for more recline.

Very Very Very nice looking seat Mr. Hollow
How do you feel compare to the stock seat?


by the way, on your steering wheel, I see the red 12 o'clock map,
may I know how you do it? I do mine by tape, but if there is a more permanent method, I would like to change mine.

It does sit more straight up than stock thats for sure. But it can be reclined more by either using side mount brackets (I didn't use) or by adding spares to the front bolts to angle the seat (what I used).

I used red electrical tape. It has held up perfect for 3 months. I have it wrapped twice around the wheel.

The homie Bee was in town last night, I think he goes by "pig_pit" here? Or something like that haha been a while.

Both our wheels are polished-- looked pretty sweet seeing both cars hard parked

How was the install? Replacing the clutch on my 99 civic hatchback was super easy....but then again you have a HUGE workspace instead of the cramped area the Fit calls a engine bay haha. I have 69k miles on my clutch and don't foresee having to change it anytime soon...or hope not lol.

Oh snap! Can't wait to see it come together! That arrive earlier than expected? Does this mean you can start sooner than later?

Nice pics! For some reason, even though Bee's GK is niceee, I just prefer the GE8 over the GK. Most likely because I have a GE...

There's some weird things about the GK's design. The weird grille shape in the front, the reflectors surrounding the back window, and those black pieces on the rear bumper that should have just been a nice smooth line across the bottom all come to mind.

True true, I didn't really like the GK at first but it grew on me. It's gotta be done right for my taste. Bee's is definitely on it's way to amaze balls. His GE was awesome

Taillight Reverse Light LED Conversion, Taillight Turn Signal SILVER color (Amber when light up) Raybrig Bulb conversion, and License Plate LED bulb conversion done today after all the bulbs arrive from Rakuten Japan earlier this afternoon, (I can't resist Discount deal from Buyee/Rakuten few weeks ago )

Full Comparison Review here:
https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...ml#post1357590





I also ordered VLED V3 Triton Switchback few days ago with VLED front Amber LED parking light... I decide to convert so I can have my DRL function again because my DRL function now is not available since I convert the front H4 Halogen to IPF H4 LED headlight.
Can't wait for them to arrive so all light conversion is complete

The installer has some family stuff going on, so unfortunately the install has to start a little later. But that means ill have to leave the fit in vancouver while i go back to work. I bought myself a winter beater though to take care of business when the snow hits! Now i can stop holding back on the fit once it gets nice out again

Just won it in an auction last night! Only 98k Km!


pected? Does this mean you can start sooner than later?

Agree with both. It has some intriguing design aspects, which I think the fit needed, although I still love the smooth lines of the GE. I agree that the GK grew on me over time, and I'd love to have it and see where I'd go with it.

The thing i cant grow to like on the GK is the huge fake vents on the rear bumper that dont fit in with the rest of the car at all. Ive seen kits that eliminate the vents and it looks really clean.

I agree with that-- if you notice Bee's, he had a dual exhaust routed through those so it makes it much more functional haha.
