What did you do to your GK Fit today?

Cusco front bars are all currently discontinued otherwise they are my go-to brand. Otherwise J's Racing makes some gold front chassis braces for around $400 shipped. Almost 4x what this one runs. Tanabe is a still a great Japanese brand and it matches the Sport trim nicely.

Yes sir
It's a chassis brace, not a strut bar. It doesn't bolt to the strut top bolts like a normal strut bar. The black side plates bolt the firewall area to the front inner fender arches for added support. So it strengthens the sides more than anything. Not sure how functional it really is but it sure looks nice.

Posts: 52 Replaced my OEM battery with a 51R
Replaced my OEM battery with a 51R thanks to tips on this site. Particulars:
Factory battery lasted 3.5 years. Not a daily driver. SoCal location.
Purchased Interstate 51R from Costco. $78 after exchange, not including local taxes.
All radio settings remained intact. No other programming necessary.
Battery fit fine in stock tray. Mine is a “made in Japan” so had the longer tray.
Time to swap was about 30 minutes. It took longer to go to/return from Costco.
Thanks to all for the tips.

Purchased Clutchmasters FX400 Race clutch
@exl500 red fits are so hot!!!
Bought a clutch and pressure plate kit to send to Golden Eagle along with my block. I am having them balance the rotating assembly with the clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel. I am hoping I can spin this thing to 8500 RPMs!!! I could not find a lightweight flywheel for the GK Fit, and it is the same part number as the GE8 cars as well. I KNOW they're out there. I can find the GD ones all day, it's weird... I guess I'll just drop a thread in on the 2nd Gen folks and see who has what flywheel...
