Lol I'm looking for rear disc too. I would've had MUCH better than rear disc if Chor (funkeyfresh) didn't sell his damnb 5 lug on me like a week before I was going to buy it!

 

LOL u snooze you loose :P

 

Yea, I have the trailing arms, calipers, and e-brake cables sitting in my garage at the moment, but they need a lot work before I can think about installing them. I want to paint the t-arms and calipers, the arms need bushings, too. It'll end up being one of those save-a-bunch-money-and-buy-all-new-stuff-at-one-time type of deals. I am starting to look at modding in that way. As in, what is the point of doing little bits of work here and there? Just save up, tear it all apart and then put it back together with all brand new stuff. lol

It is soooo tempting to just start buying more things, but I must resist. At least until tax refund time.

 

Do the rear disc upgrade right away while you are at it! Use the stock caliper, but buy BASE rsx caliper brackets and pads. Then you buy ep3 rotors and it'll all bolt up. Bigger pads by far and bigger rotors, and cheap.

 

After 2-3 days of brutal cold temperatures (20° F), it is now up to 40° F during the day for the next few days. Funny, once it hit 40, I started wanting to work on my car again. LOL Funny how that works.

Anyways, I have been putting a lot of time into what exactly I want to do with this car before saying "I'm done." and just saving for paint and body work. Given this schedule, as long as nothing goes wrong, I plan on being done by the end of the summer this year.

Here is a revised game plan for 2012.

1. Deal with wiring issue(s).
a. un-pin OEM ECU harness and look at wiring for problems ($0)
b. buy a new conversion harness ($35-$85)
c. buy new OBD2b ECU plugs ($50 - found someone on CL with them)
d. buy new Ry-wire harness ($700)

2. Fuel filter tuck ($200)
a. I have everything sitting in my cart on summitracing.com

3. Clutch line tuck ($65)
a. Looking at either making this myself, or having a place like B&R Fittings make it up for me

I have more, but the details haven't been worked out yet. Once I have it, I will post up more. Other plans include battery relocating, catch can, finishing gauge set-up (interior), possibly a small thermostatic oil cooler, and wheels. This list is covering things I want to buy, not things I already have and have yet to install/wire in 100%.

 

We had about a week of freezing cold, then yesterday it was 59 out haha. Our weather is always up and down here in KY. I just changed my fuel filter yesterday and was planning on looking into a tuck kit for it, did you just piece parts together from Summit or do they offer an all in one kit?

 

I ended piecing everything together. All the kits came with a 40 micron filter, and I specifically wanted a 10 micron. I'll post up a parts list when I get around to it I am planning on going with silver stainless lines with black fittings.

Also, I seriously don't think I need a catch can seeing as I am just N/A. I might just go with a breather filter on the VC, as well as a vented oil cap. If there is any pressure in the system, these should be able to take care of it I would think.

 

Why the 10 micron over the 40 micron? Thats quite the difference.

 

I found out that the OEM sock on the pump is a 25-35 micron filter. If that is true, then a 40 micron filter inline would be pointless. Also, I heard that the filters in the injectors are a 6-7 micron. The more filtering I can get before the injectors, the better, correct? Correct me if I am wrong. Of course, I would rather spend $35 on an in line filter compared to $80 I am looking to spend currently.

 

I would say more is better to an extent. Too much filtering would throw off fuel flow I would imagine. My example is refrigerant since Im an HVAC tech. We use multiple inline filter dryers to insure the line stays nice and open. Yet when we combine 2 of the filters in the same line (I think they are 30 micron) it obstructs flow enough to make the compressors run a little dry. Not sure if that can happen in a fuel line or not, but something to consider.
