What did you do to your GK Fit today?

Yes I am still running drum in the rear, Dixcel Japan makes good racing shoes for the drum and worked just fine for me. I have driven another team's car with disk conversion in the rear during an 6hr enduro race, didn't feel much different(don't now what pad they use tho).

Hell yea! Keep the rear drums, Kevin already schooled me on that. They are lighter and can stop great with some upgraded shoes. Also, make sure u adjust them every once n a while. To adjust the rear drums, put the car in Reverse in a nice open parking lot with no traffic, back up to about 15 miles per hour and slam on the brakes, do this three times in a row in reverse. Your pedal will feel much firmer because the drums have been adjusted, car will also dive less under hard braking because the force is being more evenly distributed.

Wiped down the motor, and washed the car with my powerhouse industries force 1800 electric pressure washer
Freshly wiped down l15b with aem intake, js oil cap, and inline oil seperator added to pcv line. Ive managed to keep it this clean for over 47k miles now
These little electric tug along pressure washers are great
Got the advans clean without even having to touch em!!
Jdm wiper mod bro
Bonus extra shot, caught in its element getting groceries with crz sibling 😂

Put on my power stop track pads and rotors
Bedded them in per instructions. No more brake wobble. If you're considering getting these, man do they bite! Really improved braking power! Caution though, never have I ever had worse brake dust than these! Bought a brake bleeder from harbor freight and a fire extinguisher while I was there. Gonna mount it with a bracket just in front of the passenger seat using the front two bolts. Ordering some Motul 660 and gonna do the stainless steel brake lines and flush the stock fluid next weekend. Also putting in my race harness and pulling the back seat for weight savings. I'm hoping to knock off 5 seconds from my lap time of 3:30 and it's my second time out to the same track so...
Hella brake dust

Brakes are coming up for me, definitely next thing to do. Been going back and fourth with what i want, the way i drive the car i need fade resistance. Your car looks great btw, holy shit thats hella brake dust tho! Rear seats come out super easy, just 4 bolts for the seats, and 2 bolts for the belt anchors. Makes a huge difference especially if u remove the spare and jack/tools right away, 100lbs altogether. 70ish for the seats, 30ish for the spare/jack/tools.

you've done a really classy job with these mods. I don't want to be a copycat, but the black roof and hood are really growing on me.
