Have you driven on the oval yet? California Speedway was a reality check for me. I left my nuts in the paddock and lost serious time on the oval at FF Battle. Still was first place B-series, but could have placed amongst the K-series guys had I grown a sack.

That and I was on shitty, shitty tires. Not exactly a confidence booster.

Me passing my buddy Ryan Der on the oval. This part was barely curved and then it would buckle. I just let the speed scrub as I turned in and once I felt comfortable again I'd be back on the gas. Just thinking about it makes me anxious. Haha.

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 can use any rear trailing arms from any 88-00 Civic or 90-01 Integra. If you get 92+ Civic or 94+ Integra arms just rip off the abs units. Use the ebrake cables from a 4 door to make sure they work for your car.

I'm confused would the rear trailing arms on my car work or do they have to be off a rear disc car? and the e break cables, they have to come off a rear disc car as well?

You need the trailing arms and cables from any rear disc car that I mentioned. (For anyone that is going to argue that you can use drum arms with disc hubs, Im aware of that but it stinks trying to swap discs onto drum arms)

The panel itself is the same. Its just a small piece of flat plastic that snaps in place of the a/c button. I looked thru my pics of my interior and not one shows a clear pic of that little piece. I do remember the day I removed the button in favor for the delete though, lol. For some reason it felt good to snap that little piece in. The smallest changes can make the biggest difference, at least imo. Im a sucker for details.
