What did you do to your GK Fit today?

DIY Aero
Dude, I have so much plastic in the garage right now. Waiting on a whale tail from China right now, some customs problem.... I saw a like a old school road race engineering hacker tweaker page where they had a aluminum template for the bumper. Yes we're at that level...

I did a brake job this weekend:
Bracket kit here: https://honeddevelopments.com/produc...-mounting-kit/
Fits perfectly, I used GE hubs to get the 64 mm rotor center diameter (GK is 61 mm). Stock master cylinder works, pedal feel is very good. Wheels are 16x7 OZ Ultraleggeras, 37 offset.

Fun projects for today!
Today, I'll be replacing the front brake rotors on my '16 Fit EX with a set of PowerStop drilled and slotted rotors! These should help keep brake dust from coating my wheels as well as dissipate heat more efficiently when braking hard. We also got a set of PowerStop's Evolution series carbon-ceramic brake pads for that extra bite. Should be a fun install, I'm looking forward to it! Maybe someday I'll also do that rear disc brake conversion that I've always wanted to do...

Pics to follow, but I got the Fastbrakes rear disc conversion installed. Parking brake adjustment took a few tries, but once everything was set up properly it turned out to be pretty good. Wish I could compare it to the Taiwan sourced kit posted here before, but Elpapas is the only one I've seen with it- if anyone south of Seattle gets it,a side by side test ought to be arranged.
My rear discs are now larger than the fronts, but it doesn't unbalance the car. While bedding the pads in, the fronts still seem to lock first. Not going to try any spirited driving until the roads are better and I get some new tires, though.

RZCrew GK5 intake manifold
Installed, but a few fitment issues remain before startup... short on 3 electrical connectors and 1 vacuum hose. OE TB rubs on the top radiator hose. Will either need a plastic wrap, rubber sleeve, or alternate hose for daily ops...
Their EGR block off was prettier than mine but the holes had to be widened to fit over the studs. I drilled them out.

Made an "upgrade" to the sound system....
Mounted a pair of 6½ kicker KSC650 in the front and a pair of 6¾ Rockford Fosgate R1675X2
I had already changed the OEM HU to an android 10" unit that had a bit more output power.... so decided to upgrade the speakers...
It sounds crisper and clearer... and since I'm not a sound system FREAK im happy for the subtle upgrade 😁😁😁

And what's your power goal ?
Can you please compare the power number before and after that intake ?
I know it's a lot of question, but I really love your job on a Fit !

RZCrew GK5 intake manifold
I cut off my throttle body connector and soldered in six wires to extend the lead by 4 inches approx. Advanced Auto had fuel line i used since they were out of the vacuum hose in my diameter. This is a big performance gain. Over 10hp, which is a lot on the fit. I have many other mods which might contribute to my gainz! This may have been my current weak link. It made my heavily ported throttle body respond better so bonus. It will be good on the new motor too, as it pulls very hard above 5000rpm!

That looks awesome, I'd love to see a dyno chart if you have one. Generally I've read that short runners are good for high rpm, and long are good for low rpm, so I'm curious if it loses power down low compared to the factory piece. Did the rest of the intake setup come with it?

Have you a vid of your beast ?

@royg plenty of videos of my car in the racing section, or search all posts started by me...
