you really need to buy complete chit, not busted piece by piece shtuff

welp if j00 need help let me know

[Evan]

have before, ain't no thang. evan, it isn't a miata. i'd rather spend the extra few bucks (over ultiamtes) and get the xp8s.

yeah but its lighter, no?

I guess you do have the drawback of having more weight on the front axle.
How big are your rotors?
Have you tried ultimates? You really would be surprised at the heat they can take.
I never faded them on my WRX when I was a novice student, even at Jeffy.

I think with integra brakes you definately could swing it.


Im going to try the pepboys ceramic enhanced pads next

[Mike]

i was poking fun at you, as always... but yeah, it's lighter so it's coming out of corners a wee-bit faster and has a better power to weight ratio. i ultimates on for my first event, they survived. first session of my 2nd event they were toast and luckily larry had some xp9s on hand. i have the stock civic rotors up front... they're... small.

hurry up and try those pepbizzles, i wanna know how they handle the heat. doesn't todd reid use them and say they work fine? he does have huge brakes though...

[.RJ]

todd reid doesnt have huge brakes.... 11" oem rotors w/ accord wagon calipers

[Mike]

those are huge compared to what i have.

[Evan]

yeah, and mine are 9"


I think he said that after the K20 went in the pepbizzles wouldnt work

Those dual-piston Accord calipers are EXTEMELY heavy though...

On a side note, is there a way we could determine who's working this event sometime soonish? I said I would, but im not sure if there are people who want to that didnt get to work in the fall, or what. Sorry to push this a month and a half ahead of the event but I'd really like to be able to go in and give leave a month in advance rather than a week in advance like usual.

Single piston, not really any bigger than any other integra caliper - same as ITR parts.

looks like you're on the list per chad's first post. i think its a good idea that all new officers and members make this event if possible.

on a side note, the integra is almost track worthy again... well as track worthy as she'll ever be.

yeah I need to figure this out. You're working Keith, and I'll get the rest figured out soon.

Like Maeng said, it would be great if all new officers could make this, even to spectate.

HPDE4 for me...

Single piston, not really any bigger than any other integra caliper - same as ITR parts.

The ones I had on my Accord were dual-piston and came from the Accord V6 / Wagon.
