you can find rear disc conversions for $100.most cases you just need to get a 4040 prop valve and e brake cables

I keep hearing the JDM D15B cam being compared to the Zex stage 1 or whatever. How does that factor into the debate as to whether or not it'll help right now?
never heard of it being compared to the zex stage one but the stock d15b vtec cam is a bit better then the stock z6 cam. so as you continue adding stuff to this set-up maybe you will benefit from it only one way to truly no get it tuned and dyno'd. either way dude look the clean and simple set-up dude.

heres some info for you

find a 4dr integra with rear discs.

Grab the whole lot including the parking brake cables.

You need a 4040 proportioning valve.

There are plenty of how to's around if you cant find one let me know.

I think I have a how to on a site I'm on.

You know after I changed my rear drum shoes, I switched to disc because it was such a PITA. Granted I had some issues with my rear discs, but damn they are so easy to maintain compared to drum.

Rear trailing arms/discs from a G2 Teg
Ebrake cables "G2 Teg"
4040 prop valve

Alot of G2 Tegs at the junkyards around here. Problem is finding one with trailing arms in good shape, since most are dragged around in the yards

put my ebay exhaust for sale...$120 shipped. had someone on h-t buy it last week and send me the money via paypal. yesterday i go to put their address in so i could ship via UPS, and they're in Guam i know i said free shipping, but come on. let the person know you need international shipping before hand. so i promptly refunded him his money.

fyi, would have been $345.80 to ship via UPS and oddly only $109.20 via USPS

Dropping the car off Saturday. The JDM bumper is currently being painted and the J's bumper will be fitted/painted and the fenders modified when I drop it off.

The bumper doesn't have provisions for the bumper support so it sags in the middle. I was frustrated so I called a good friend who reminded me, "it may be J's Racing, but it's still just a body kit. Remember body kits from 10 years ago or even today? They all need to be custom fit." So, I'm just going to pay the body shop to do it. As for the hood, I love it. Should drop temps and it's really beefy looking since it bulges up.
