Default rsx needs a master cylinder & a diff

I keep blowing master cylinders out in my rsx. pretty sure it due to my twin disc clutch. has any one put a after market clutch master in there car? if not i guess i'll be the first, but figured i would ask here first.

and also wondering is a phantom grip diff was worth it, or should i look into something else.

As for the diff. you get what you pay for... I believe that Omni Power makes an aftermarket master cylinder for our chassis'.

well i havent kept up with the honda market much in those respects.

what all diffs are out there for our chassis..i was thinking of going to straight cut gears, but i found out the last trans didnt last cause who ever installed it didnt put fluid in it.

i'll look into the omni power master now

What are your mods and is this a race vehicle? You have a damn beast clutch lol and if you are considering straight cut gears I will assume this isn't a daily or it's quite a monster of a daily. Quaife, Wavetrac, and Kaaz are all good LSD's as far as I know. I've had Kaaz and Quaife on some of my older cars and I have had no complaints. Wavetrac is a cheaper alternative that I have heard good things about and if I am not mistaken I think they are made by Quaife...

yeah, but look at some of the import enthusiasts with the way they act? granted that gives almost all of you a bad rap..but still...facts are facts.

reminds me of the time a kid with a late 90's civic si pulled in the spot one friday night, wanted to see a race. i said " got $20? I'll give you a race" his girl popped her head out the window and said "i got $20" waiving a fresh 20 spot in the air.Well, lets go. i looked his car over just like any other car...it was mainly stock, he never even asked me what i had. i told him to follow me, and told him how it was going to go down. we get to the spot and i roll down the passenger window, he asked if someone was going to flag it, i said no, just go ahead and take off. i'll let you get out a few cars. i rolled up my window and he takes off. he gets out about 8 or so car and i bring mine up on the converter and give it hell. next thing i know im crossing the finish line and he is still about 1/2 way to it. he then trys to play with me from a roll on the way back to the spot. i left it in second, and just played with the throttle. she rolled down her window and said ***** weak! about that time i flat stabbed it on the floor, my big block came to life and just started ripping the tires up, but he still had no chance at coming around me. we get back to the spot and hes ready to fight , calling me a cheater and i was spraying nitrous. i told him right then. you wanna try it again with me spraying it this time. he said he didnt believe i wasnt spraying . so we pulled the hood off my car, and a stock fox body sitting next to it. and he see's this


then he starts to realize that he should have atleast looked at my car first.

basicly, if there wasnt so many retards running around in civics or tegs...it wouldnt be the way it is. IMO, hot rodding is hot rodding..no matter what kind of car it is
