Man your whip is sick, can't wait to see the new look.

Mike, do it! Id trade you an STi for your CB and your truck.

You Canada guys know how to build beautiful cars. One of my favorites. You'll be getting a special vote from me towards the end of the year.

Thanks a lot man, I appreciate that

Yo Ronald, same brakes I'm going with. Love the new direction.

Nice! I got my shop to source out all the parts that I need for my brake setup..Calipers are cheap, relocation kit and custom Goodridge SS brake lines have been fabricated, and I have a pair of 323mm DBA front rotors waiting to be installed...Also have a pair of custom prototype 2-piece 323mm front rotors with aluminum rotor hats as spare for later down the road when the DBA rotors are done...Saves 4lbs each side with the 2-piece rotors! Good for reducing unsprung weight.

I see you got the upper a-arms.
I had the balljoint welded more on mine for just in case.
The seller also has the set of ball joints for $49.

I did, and I sold them before I even installed them on my car lol my shop is bringing in a pair of prototype UCAs for my car...Adjustability is not as great (-/+3 instead of -/+4), but they only weigh 3.5lbs each side! Much preferred compared to the ChassisTech ones, which are about 11lbs each side..Again, just trying to reduce unsprung weight

Man your whip is sick, can't wait to see the new look.

Thanks man! I can't wait either!

More updates soon!

Ronald, I absolutely love your car. it is one of my favorite accords i have ever seen. the fact that you have some of the best photography on the site doesnt hurt anything either. if i had to pick a car that i think would be the next CB in a magazine, honestly yours would be it

I can't wait either! It's too bad that the weather is still way too cold

Thanks bro..You should really do it! Your car is a LOT faster than mine haha


Just found out that I have the option of going 6-pot calipers instead of the 4-pot calipers I currently have in hand...But I probably shouldn't go crazy and stick with the 4-pot...for now

Thanks man I really appreciate that. Means a lot to me! Hopefully after all is said and done my car will look a bit better than its current state!

lol yeah but yours come factory! AS are the brembo calipers all around! I'm jealous!

Thanks for the words of encouragement bro..But you know I'll be willing to trade my car with your current car anytime anyday!! Well actually, maybe for a Subie (NOT STi, or any Impreza)..Don't want to be a copycat

I'm trying to get him to come to the spring meet.

When is this spring meet bro? If my car is done by then I am definitely going!



So, a little bit of update...rear shock bushings replacement will be arriving at my door tomorrow..Hint: they're NOT made of rubber, nor polyurethane..Say hello to spherical bearings a.k.a. pillow balls! Soon after that, all the polyurethane bushings on my suspension components will be replaced with the same thing. No more rubber!

I will take pics tomorrow when they arrive. Stay tuned!
