Well you still have JDM love here lol i sure dont hate ya.

 

I would if the shipping prices were'nt so crazy!! :googly:

Yea i'm just waiting for it to be delivered!! Thank you! :thumbup:

Haha! Thanks for the JDM love!!

 

Yea im sure....and itd be even more cause i dont live in Cali...i live in louisiana...

anyways...grrr they need to let you get the car...lol too anxious here...can only imagine what you are going thru lol...esp after reading this issue of Honda Tuning they have a JDM ITR with mugen parts and NSX on cover...

 

Well to send stuff to my family in MO is pretty pricey, so I would think that LA would be about the same.

Yea i'm an impatient person. I'm like lets get shit done go go go! BAH!! I have to wait for my mom to send me my Honda Tuning too....:hithead:

 

Got my brakes today! They were, as I expected, really dirty. So I cleaned them up a little bit with some brake parts cleaner and some Orange Cleaner. The calipers came really clean! They are in great shape. Even the pads are still good. The rotors are in good shape too, however they have some surface rust on the outside edge, and the inside of the air channels. So Im thinking about having just those parts bead blasted. I'm gonna clean everything again with some Simple Green. I took some pics but when I was in the process of uploading them my camera battery shat out on me. So i'll try to do it in the morning!

 

Really Clean

They Look Helllla Clean :rocks:

 

i cant wait to go to japan! i plan to buy up some stuff!

 

so whats different over stock brakes? slotted rotors and larger piston calipers?

they look good. congrats.

 

Thank you!
Well i've read that they are actually S2000 calipers with a stronger piston, im not sure if thats true or not. Inlinefour had the best description of what the differences are in the rotors.

"Introducing Mugen Active Gate Brake System. The Active Gate Brake System is a high-efficiency front brake system that provides outstanding braking performance and control at all times. With conventional brakes, the heat generated can deform the rotor and reduce pedal responsiveness and control. With the Active Gate Brake System, the unique rotor cross-sectional design actively draws cooling air from the rotor interior. This revolutionary braking system minimizes heat deformation to maintain a responsive pedal touch. The Mugen disk rotors feature a reverse-ventilated cross-sectional design providing ventilation on the outside (the inside of the rubbing face contacts the pad) and an increased rotor diameter (282.0 mm to 300.0 mm). The circular holes in the Mugen rotor hat section are designed to ensure active cooling. The rotor is also 3.5 kg lighter (per wheel) than the factory rotor, contributing to a reduction in unsprung mass."

 

good stuff i really had no idea on any of the details of these.

 

It was'nt easy finding good info. Searching forums was taking forever. So I Googled it and one of the first ones was Inlinefour.

 

Very nice. Keep us posted.

 

OK so on the 22nd my wife will get a call from the dealership detailing when my car is gonna be here, and where. *excitement building*

Also i've been trying to clean the rust off of my rotors. I hate rust. I used some rust remover from Kure. It only slightly worked. So tonight I was doing my nightly auction search and found a new set of Mugen F1 rotors nib. Starting bid is 26000 yen. And the buy-it-now price is 32000 yen. Cheaper than Kingmotorsport. They want $375 +shipping for them. Anyway, wish me luck!!

 

very nice....

 

I won the rotors tonight!!! Nobody bid on them, so I got them for 26000 yen. No more rust removal for me! I'll take some pics when they get here.

Also the dealership called my wife and still did'nt give me an exact day yet. But it will be next week. aper:

And I won another auction the other night. The Integra 3rd brake light that lights up "Integra"! Looks like new. A bit dusty in this pic. It does'nt fit my car, but it was too good of a deal to pass up.

 

very nice man..roughlt $291 USD for them

and nice pick up on the 3rd light...what models does that fit on?

 

looks like it fits the 2dr, DC2/4.

congrats on winning the parts! i cant even wait for you to get it i wan to see parts going on already haha

 

Thanks! You and me both Kev!! Yea the light fits 94-01 DC chassis. The one for my car is more narrow. Theres one on Ebay for DB chassis right now but they want like $89 for it! Not going to be getting that! lol!

 

Well the Kagoshima dealership called today to ask which Sasebo Honda dealership I wanted the car to be delivered to. So I know where im going to pick it up at!! lol! Also they asked me the other day whar numbers I wanted on my plates. Kinda hard to make up something using only numbers that makes sense. So I chose 99-18. 1999 1.8 ltr. So I guess it's gonna be here maybe Wed or Thurs!!!
