Aftrr 9000mi of driving, time to clean the K&N filter. Put on A brand new OEM filter for the time being.

 

Heres a screenshot of the actual one i ordered:

 

holy crap! Thats filthy for 9k miles! The air filter in my comptech icebox on my 96 b16b hatch was still very clean looking at over 15k miles, must be the way the gk5 intake duct works, looks like it picks up a ton of road debris! I do know it works well though, intake temps are super low on the freeway in my gk5, just like my comptech icebox.

 

yeah man, mind you i have a custom air ram duct, hence all the debris that got caught. And yea with todays weather with the air duct, im getting super low temps = 12-15% MPG drop.

 

Wow that's a pretty dirty filter. I'll have to check mine out tomorrow.

 

Here's my K&N filter with about 6k miles on it. Looks about right to me.

Oakland = Smogland?

 

Your Fit looks amazing! What plate relocator kit are you using? Is it just one of the universal tow hook ones?

 

Thanks for checking out the car! Still a work in progress, but she's getting there.

Just some random ebay brand one for about $15. Make sure the seller confirms it fits for your car before committing the purchase.

 

holycrap touge! the hell are you guys breathing out there, ash?! must've been from the brush fires last year huh?

 

the i880 commute is shit, smogland it is up here. And im sure the fires had something to do with it. It was pretty bad last year.

 

yah but at least you know the KN did it’s job!

 

Purchased to prep for this June's track day at MRLS (Laguna Seca). Now I will be able to heel-n-toe properly

 

Car's looking really great! Nice purchase, been thinking about this myself.

 

laguna seca? you have LSD in your diff?

 

How will that enable you to heel-toe correctly?

Unfortunately, I didn't measure the distance between the brake and accelerator pedals before installation of the bracket.

I do, however, have a picture of the distance between the two pedals with the bracket installed and set to position C.

 

Goodies came in the mail today. Megan Racing RCAs. They were the most cost effective option. Thanks Amazon Prime. Lol

 

Photo's of the Megan Racing Front Roll Center Adjusters installed, car leveled. Haven't tested driving on the twisties yet, need another alignment day. Maybe I should do that tomorrow morning .







OH! And these lovely's arrived... Work Emotion Kai 16x7 +35 Gun Metal...



Need new tires for these.. and I'm thinking about either the Falken Azenis RT615K+ in 215/45 or go budget Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 in 205/50. I plan on switching between the Volk TEs+S.Drives and the new wheel set up for next month's planed SF Speed Track Day at Mazda Speedway Laguna Seca and see how the car performs..

Cheers!

 

Aren't the TE's lighter and stronger than the Emotions? Aesthetically, I prefer the Volks on the GK5.

 

Yes, the TEs are much lighter and more structurally sound compared to the Emotion Kais. I went with them because they were on sale for dirt cheap, and would rather use those as dailys versus the TEs, they attract too much attention.. and want them to be treated as Track Only setup
