- Thu Oct 01, 2009 12:25 am #148360 thanks guys...it's another shitty ebay turbo but meh, if it lasts a year like people say they do i might be in a better position to eventually buy a name brand one :thumb: or i could just get a turbonetics/garrett center section...

well i found out that i think my left side calipers (both front/rear) don't work and my ebrake has never worked so i'm going to order up some new rear calipers/cables and maybe a front one as well....this fucking car...

- Thu Oct 01, 2009 6:55 pm #148508 Stock sized brakes will do fine, but definitely want to upgrade the pads and probably the rotors.

I don't make much power, but I love my Hawk HPS pads and PowerSlot rotors.

I won't leave the brakes stock, but just make sure it they will brake. ;)

- Tue Oct 06, 2009 6:13 am #149093 i love my rear disc swap... i think the main thing was the bigger MC/BB,

comes to find out that my rear left caliper wasent workng at all, so i went to autozone and replaced it over the weekend, bled my brakes and i FINALLY FIXED MY E-BRAKE!!! :woot:
i havent had one basically since i swapped the discs.


on a FML point, i got my new turbo in the mail today but the downpipe won't fit because it has some slightly different geometry. so i need to order a 1/2" spacer for the manifold/t3 flange

Image



once i get that flange in the mail, i have a bigger FMIC coming so i that's going to be another can of worms. ALSO, my fuggin clutch is getting shipped 100 miles away. What a big bitch this is turning out to be :x :x

Once its tuned I wanna race you with my hatch. Maybe after a fall NW Civic-eg meet or something.

- Fri Oct 09, 2009 5:49 am #149818 8 days?! Shit, I'd just assume go pick it up from wherever it landed than wait 8 days! 100 miles is not worth waiting 8 more days, IMO.

Did you order injectors, yet?

yeah dude it sucks..but actually it worked out alright, the flanges i ordered i'm sending back for a refund and i ended up being able to cut it and re-weld it at my dad's place... don't hate my shitty welds :wink:
