A general front shot. You can see my nice big hood dent.



A few shots of the completed swap.











Rotor over hub conversion w/ Prelude VTEC front brakes





Rear matching calipers and new pads.

Thanks!

I need to get a breather hose to replace those 2 filters too.

Do you have pictures of your pspec in your car? I wanna see how low it sits.

It did improve feel slightly, and helped fade in the twisties.

I have a 4040 prop valve in the garage that didn't arrive in time to throw it in, so I need to get that in there eventually too.

The list never ends!

I was going to take one, and will see if I can borrow a camera to do so for you.

It is low, but not the point where it is hard to reach.

Silver Rims and Gold Caliper. Just about the sexiest thing on 4 wheels. Props on the swap, too

Thanks man!

I was trying to figure out what color to paint them, and Ray prompted that gold would probably look cool.

He was right.

as stated before, nice job on the engine swap and the brake swap as well. how much of a difference has it made do you think?

Well, it actually helped quite a bit. There is 20% more rotor surface area, and the pads are the same as several other high po Hondas, such as the ITR, Prelude VTEC (obviously) Accord V6's, Wagons, and yes, even the NSX.

There are times that I feel like they are working the same, but I realize that I am braking later, and from a higher speed.

They are much more confidence inspiring in the twisties too. LOL! There is one road in particular where I would have been trying to put my foot through the floor to get it slowed down in time for the corner, and with these, it is a non-event. It wasn't so much brake fade, as it was just sheer stopping capacity.

Overall, I am VERY happy with it, and it is nice to be able to just slide the rotors off.

holy shit man love your really nice....

Thank you.

Hopefully, bodywork will be the next mod.

Then I will finish the suspension (bushings. Strut tower bar, and Progress rear sway bar).

From there it is the interior.

And then performance. I am developing my build plan as we speak.
