well...success at the third junkyard today..found a 90 integra with rear disc....pain in the *** to get off...and i forgot my flair wrench so i will have to go back for the porportioning valve...has anyone done this swap? just looking for a few tips..i was sure to get the entire trailing arm and the ebrake cables and i got that and a mirror for about 90 bux...(set sells on ebay for like 120 so i can always sell if i abort the project)

lemme know?

thanks

 

Good luck on the swap!

I suggest checking out the parts an' all before swapping. That's obvious, I know you know that, it needs to be said, especially if others are interested in doing the same.

Anywho, consider rebuilting the calipers, which is only 6 bucks each side. Check and/or replace the pads. Check replace bushings and paint/protect things that paint has been removed.

 

thanks...im probably gunna do new rotors all arround...there not to expensive and my ones up front are warped so ill just go with the slotted drilled ones all arround for a nice clean look and better performance....i will get a new kit for the backs as well as new pads and of course and clean the hell out of them. i just found a 4040 prop valve on ebay so im hoping to get that for like 35 bux...all is looking good on this swap..cant wait for it...ill keep you all updated...lol.

my new mini project thred.

 

Thought i would post up some pictures of what i got...


i cleaned one about an hour ago..but am to lazy to clean the other one right now...here is a pic of each

Clean one


Dirty one



install should be this weekend..im gunna do new rotors up front as well as well as new rotors in back and new pads all arround....

Just got new rotors all arround

 

well...swap went good today...just need 4 screws and to bleed the system (knock on wood)........

The disk seem a little firm right now..im just hopping they will be ok..

here are some pictures..let me know what you think




here is a picture of the trailing arm where i put 2 grade 8 washers where the trailing arm meets the car...fourthgenhatch's diy suggested you put a washer for every inch your car is lowered.to keep toe adjustment correct

 

lol HAIL!!, the washers are supposed to go on the other side of the upper arm!! So it should go: car - washer - arm - bolt

 

hahhaha....thats a good point....well..cars still on jacks...no problem...thanks

 

DONE!!!!

prop valve came in the mail today...gunna install that this weekend....

got new front rotors too!!!!!!!!!!

they are great!..no more warped ness...........i loves it~!

 

Awesome!!! Say, did you use a flare wrench for the brake lines, and are you going to use it for the prop valve?

 

lol....of course....
