[2ndGenGuy]

[2ndGenGuy]

yeah...she is my daily baby....but she needs power...dc headers going on sat...maybe the cam i bought from you...but it needs the obd1 swap bad...i hate how i have to take it up to 4k rpms to even get the secoundaries to open...i also got a b16 mani from toolound motor

[2ndGenGuy]

So what's the deal with that car, is that the Openloop modified motor, but with all the stock components back on like intake and exhaust manifolds? And stock ECU again? If I need B20A parts, would you be willing to sell for the right price since you have 3 motors? :D

[Rendon LX-i]

sweet man...i might sell my b16 mani....i want a shunk 2 or a vector x yo....pics up jessy damnit....

Oh how much did the Brake calipers cost you

[frantik]

Awesome sounds like time to pour a few bucks into the 3g :D Could you elaborate a little on the brake parts? are the legend rotors for the front or rear (i thought it was the rear legend calipers and brackets that were needed)

yeah its the rebuilt motor but with everything back to stock....all my a20 parts are going back to the engine. so it will be back to the 160whp range if not better.

damn bro....you got a write up? i need longer bolts? spacers...i havent really checked because my car is not here with me

[ZackieDarko]

straight bolt on

also if you are using the loaded pads remove the thin metal plate attached to the pad it will come off and dig into you rotors

[labeledsk8r]

in for pics, im interested to see how this fills up your wheels aswell (arnt you running 16's?) im getting ready for a simmilar swap on my accord for 11.2" rotors outa the accord wagon.

i do have rotas...i bought them so i could do this mod


You ordered the rotors from fastbrakes?

no...i bought them off this local speed shop for 130 bucks a pair and i paid a machine shop 25 bucks to redrill the hub...not bad for a bolt on upgrade

[Legend_master]

Here is what they look like behind some 16's

15s but depends on the rim/ brand....we know they clear the ls web rims

[Oldblueaccord]

You'll have a nice choice of brake pads as well.

i get sick of seeing "ls web," are you guys referring to ls "mesh" wheels because those are the only one's that are 15"... if you're referring to the 14" from the SE then forgive me because those are ls "webs"

[carotman]

so?

Spacer or not?

I may be getting the same thing and transfer my current brakes on the hatch.

[Oldblueaccord]

No spacers or longer bolts with Legends setup. The only draw back I can think of is the 89 rotor is thinner. This is from memory. Mine uses the Type R rotor, but you need to make spacers or a bracket to space out the caliper a little.

already have the ebc type red stuff pad...i cant wait to have an engine so i can go test it out

[night]

hmm.... you think this would be worth it for a 2000lb car?
it would seem to me the 10.3 would be fine with good pads, but hard to say til i can get on a track.
