Re: 97 Civic DX coupe MTX - Project Girlfriend's Car

The reason there's so many colors is because that's the only color a lot of those parts came in. I wouldn't have any blue in the engine bay if it weren't for the Gates and NGK parts. Those wires only...

Re: 97 DX Coupe - swapping to rear disc and bigger front disc, what's needed?

Lines are ordered along with the trailing arm bushings now. At this point I'm searching around for the EP3 caliper brackets. I think I've got my pads and rotors picked out as well.

I was able to...

Re: Upgrading pads, rotors, and swapping to stainless lines, suggestions wanted!

Alright, even more researching.

I was able to figure out that R1 Concepts rotors are actually Centric rotors. Their brake pads are Posi-Quiet brake pads that are listed on their website. Using...

Re: 97 Civic DX coupe MTX - Project Girlfriend's Car

That will bring everyone up to speed where I'm currently at.

Right now I'm balls deep in a brake upgrade as well as re-doing the rest of the body. Brake upgrade consists of Integra GSR 10.3"...

Re: 97 Civic DX coupe MTX - Project Girlfriend's Car

Now, a little explanation for things.

Since it's a gas mileage daily driver I didn't feel it worth the time or money to replace the fuel pump, fuel rail, FPR, fuel lines, or change the fuel map....

Re: Upgrading pads, rotors, and swapping to stainless lines, suggestions wanted!

Alright, I've been doing some digging here.

Now, when I ordered brakes for my Passat I purchased them through R1Concepts.com. This was the best place to get the rotors that I wanted as I couldn't...

Re: Upgrading pads, rotors, and swapping to stainless lines, suggestions wanted!

Problem is that I want rotors with the e-coatings so that they don't rust in the winter. This car is driven in salt, so I'd prefer something that won't build up rust in the veins.

I'll for sure be...

Re: 97 DX Coupe - swapping to rear disc and bigger front disc, what's needed?

Alright, I started working on this project tonight.

I stripped one of the trailing arms down to just the arms and trailing arm bushings. Going to take the rotor/bearing/spindle apart so I can get...

Re: Upgrading pads, rotors, and swapping to stainless lines, suggestions wanted!

Alright, so I've done some more researching on this.

I'm pretty much set on using the Hawk Performance Ceramics at this point. The car doesn't get driven that aggressively, so lower dust and...

Re: 97 DX Coupe - swapping to rear disc and bigger front disc, what's needed?

So, another bit up an update here.

For anyone who's gone looking for cheaper disc hub/bearing assemblies - there's a solution. If any of you have checked on eBay they go for much cheaper than in...

Re: 97 DX Coupe - swapping to rear disc and bigger front disc, what's needed?

Yea, I understand what you mean about just using the complete Integra setup. There aren't any issues with using the 94-01 Integra front and rear discs. I'm not quite sure why BrakeExpert recommends...

Re: 97 DX Coupe - swapping to rear disc and bigger front disc, what's needed?

Yes, they do require a small bit of modification to make them fit properly, but it's minimal. The reason I'm using them is because I was able to score a set of Integra cables for extremely cheap...

Re: 97 DX Coupe - swapping to rear disc and bigger front disc, what's needed?

Re: 97 DX Coupe - swapping to rear disc and bigger front disc, what's needed?
