Re: Does anyone have a resonator?!?!

I imagine most people who drive their cars on the street do. I use a vibrant ultra quiet resonator on my k20 swap.

Re: Nice rack...

You could always replace all of the seals yourself. I'd install new tie rods while you were at it. Also check ebay. I purchased a complete ITR subframe and p/s rack for $0.01 :) I think that it...

Re: Special Projects - Electro Power Steer

karcepts also sells a bracket for the mr2 pump. And I'd also recommend running a small cooler. Depending on how you setup your pump, if it runs wide open then you will want a cooler. Mine has...

Re: EHPS Redone

The stock tube cooler should be sufficient. I'm using a very small $30 FAL cooler with my setup, but thats only because my civic didn't come with a factory cooler.

One small thing to keep in mind...

Re: 100% Newbie, intro, a question. sorry, lots of reading.

That truly sucks. That language would also eliminate coverage for defensive driving and safety schools.

Re: EK Uneven drop question

Re: rotor wobbling?

I'm in agreement with the others. Sounds like a bad wheel bearing. The rotor rides on the hub and the hub is secured by the wheel bearing. So play in the rotor is most likely due to the wheel...

Re: new master cylinder and still no pressure in lines

doesn't take that fluid to flush the calipers/lines, so if its still a soft pedal, then you either have a botched mc install, or you didn't get all of the air out of the mc.

Since you changed the...

Re: No brakes??

For future reference, I've found it best to pour brake fluid directly into the caliper when installing a new/dry caliper.

You most likely have too much air in the system due to the new caliper. ...

Re: integra MC on ek BB

Re: H&R SPORT SPRINGS w/ KONI SPORTS

Re: Use Honda Super Hi Temp Urea Grease on brake pads, is it ok?

H&Rs are excellent springs. However this post is too vague to give any real guidance.

Which H&R springs are you running? H&R OE sport? H&R Sport? H&R Race? What shocks are you running and how...

Re: GSR Disc Brakes on EG

Don't forget that the integras had larger front calipers so they used different pads than the civics. So even though both shared the same 10.3" front rotor, they had different calipers.

Re: Rear Brake Calipers - ITR vs EP3/DC5

Re: K series remflex gaskets

Ok, not trying to knock these guys, but how does this gasket do better than the oem gaskets? The oem exhaust gasket has a nice crush ring in it for each cylinder.
