maybe its just a grainy picture.... but i dont think those can be resurfaced within spec.

I've lost motivation with my car. I mean, im still buying parts... but i'm not rushing around to finish it by a certain deadline like i was before. I hope to have it finished for eibach this year, it'll be cutting it close. I think i'll have mine done for the EF meet in June for sure.

 

just get up to speed and do a few hard stops.

rotors are now resurfaced

 

yea i'll do that more then likely.

it'll go like this "got the car running -- oh ****, i forgot to get my rotors resurfaced."

Then i will let my PRB pads do the resurfacing...we'll see. maybe i'll get some free time, get bored and take 'em up to the shop.

They really arent bad at all. the lighting on that pics makes them look like they are just about rusted entirely through though...

 

yeah, the pics make them look like they are flaky.

PM me.... or click my sig.

 

has anyone tried centric brake discs? matches up to brembo (both meet iso and qs standards). i would normally would automatically get brembos, but i keep hearing lots of talk on tirerack reviews about lots of rusting. even spraypainting the hub area doesnt seem to help much. the centric discs have some black powdercoating to prevent this.

i miss my hatchback every day!!!

 

what happen to it?

I never touched the castle nut on the tie rod end OR on the lower ball joint...So...I'll borrow a jack tomorrow (my buddy is coming up and I'll tell him to bring one). I REALLY hope that it's something stupid-*******-simple like that. Regardless, Monday I'll still be getting an alignment. </TD></TR></TABLE>

sorry, i meant to post this sooner.

shake down the front end, you may have a severely loose ball joint/tie rod end that decided to show up since you unweighted/repositioned the front end.

 

Hey i just installed my ls, ran fine (went for a spin) with tps code. I adjusted the timing it it dies. Fix the tps and i try to restart the car and it wont fire. I dont have anycodes. Im out of ideas

Those dont look bad... i cant find a price on them tho. I wish i could find a rotor that didnt rust. Whats wrong with going to the honda dealership and using OEM?


Anyone using a Progress Technology Rear sway bar? 22mm or 24mm?

 

a warning to those considering centric rotors.

also, car-stuff.com has brembos for 23 each and hawk pads for a good price.

honda is usually more for everything. they are 25 each on car-stuff.com. looks like i will order brembo blanks and satisfied gransport (GS6) pads. they have the same ranking of hawk HPS pads for stopping power, noise, dust, and are 11.00 less. also hawk pads are not carbon ceramic, they are ferro-carbon

Hawk HPS pads all around.


I hate to keep asking the same question but i cant find any reviews on it... anyone running a PRogress rear sway bar? 22 or 24mm?

 

i got some disk brakes yesterday from a 94 gsr..my question is do i need to used the 40/40 prop valve???? because they told me i didnt have to..

 

I'm using a 40/40 with my 95 gsr brakes.

 

You dont HAVE to use a 4040... but im using it with my 93 DA rears.

its only 20-30$ at a junkyard, mine as well!

 

well, I figured out why my hasport cable to hydro conversion made the pedal feel rediculously stiff. After changing my clutch last night, I was messing with the leverand noticed that it doesnt move very easily if you tighten the bolt too tight. I loosened it a little and it was fine. It feels like a stock clutch now.

Word. Brian at Fastbrakes actually told me I didn't HAVE to use the 4040, but I used it anyways.

As for rotors, vatozone for the win guys...don't waste your money. My advice is biased since my set-up chews up rotors pretty fast no matter what brand they are.

 

fuel leak. i blame nitrous express. The "T" they sold me, cracked. and i was running open header.

 

holy god ....damn it....what was the damage when everything was said and done?
