Guys,

I am going to break down and since I love my EF so much I am going to invest some cash in a decent daily driver setup. I am going to get a jdm gsr motor installed, car is going into the shop on monday. I tried to do a swap on my own but I dont have time or any buddies around to lend me a hand.

I will take some before and after shots, I hope it comes out really good.

sweet.

 

I had to go with a good deal on a $500 B20 swap (car included!)

I ended up selling it anyway. My RSX makes a much more comfortable daily driver

 

before pics?

Then mentioned brake setup will be all you need, disks in the rear are a looks only kind of deal with cars like this.

rear disks are a looks and maintnance issue. changing pads is so much easier than changing shoes, and all those springs...

I have yet to work on drums without stabbing one of those springs under a fingernail, and man, does that hurt.

They do add wieght though, and I never run into problem replacing shoes so I keep mine.

I'd rock those aluimin HFs if I could find some.
