So I bought this instead. I hope it won't chip away, I cleaned and sanded the calipers with some orange degreaser and 400 grit sandpaper.

    Hopefully, it will be OK, I just haven't found a caliper that seems to hold that stuff. Any of it. The high temp paint actually works well, but hopefully, that sanding job will give it something to hold onto.

        I went to the JY today and found something quite unusual. I found three of those clips that cover up the license plate holes in a glovebox of a wrecked CB7. Pretty sweet since Honda wants like 10 bucks for each one retail probably.

            haha yeah my rears are done w/ VHT red caliper paint but the fronts, unfortunately, Autozone ran out of VHT or don't stock it. But they turned out pretty well

              I decided I needed to fix my coolant leak today, so i took it to my friend/mechanic who helped me out a bit. I did a new Upper radiator hose, new hose from the distributor to the heater core and a new dizzy O-ring, since the old one was leaking. It actually broke apart like a piece of hard plastic upon removal, so i'm glad that's fixed. All in all not bad for $45 worth. Fixed a coolant leak as well as my oil leak


              new upper


              and new hose from under distributor to heater core, THAT was leaking like a bitch before

                I got a new Energy Suspension front torque motor mount insert today. They make really good parts, i was amazed at how tight the fit was inside the bracket. So this is way better than buying a solid Poly'd mount if you drive in heavy traffic from time to time. No vibrations AT ALL! but it also helps shifting dramatically, esp. in auto's like mine.








                Curves to the exact contours of the mount, Oh btw, mine was a manual trans. front torque mount, so that might make a difference in fitment. And they also said you can use it on torn mounts that you may have, it fills in the space to make it like new again + better.



                Fits like a GLOVE!

                        Thanks guys! I'm going to install the brakes in mid March, when I have a week off for Spring Break, with Owequitit. I'm also going to attempt my skills at doing a TSX Projector retrofit. I just bid on an auction buying the two headlights off a TSX for only 80 bucks! yeah so that should be a fun project. I'm still learning/researching what shrouds and things I should put in there to jazz it up and make it look nice. But for now, I've got homework to do! lol. I don't think you guys would be that interested in Calc 3, Linear Algebra, Mechanics and Asian Pacific American Studies lol.

                          Glad to hear that you are happy with the ES insert. 95% of the benefit, but with only 5% of the tradeoff.

                              Sweet!

                              Are you going to retrofit the inner reflectors too? Or just the projectors?

                                I SO want to put these headlight housings on the CB7, I think it would make it look menacing and furious all the time, which would be awesome. Idk if the inner reflectors would fit, i might have to modify them quite a bit, since they look to be about 4 inches in diameter. And they use a H1 55w bulb, so i might need to change out my 9005 highbeam. But anything's possible. BUT DAMN, i'm so excited, this just made my week. I had so much bullshit this week but this made it all go away! I even shined a flashlight in the projector, just to see how sharp the cutoff was and WOW, its like a blade of a knife. Oh these are off a 04-06 TSX, I read somewhere that that was the better projector.

                                Anyone know how to modify the cutoff? I saw on Awwwwwshiet's thread that his buddy, XenonKiller99, modified the cutoff somehow, but i dont know exactly
