The RL BBK is officially part of this project. Broke and excited. lol

After a thorough reading of a Porshe forum I steered away from a lightweight flywheel in an otherwise stock drivetrain. The interior of the car has been gutted out. The motor and tranny will start coming out on Monday. I still need to order the J37 IM and headers, but I'll survive without them while I focus on getting the car running without CELs.

For sure. I saw your post a few days ago about getting them. I was torn between keeping the Acura logo or having it shaved off.

Do you have the brackets, rotors, caliper rebuild kit, etc?

The best idea I saw was to have the ACURA machined off, lay down a vinyl ACCORD, paint the calipers and have the ACCORD letters polished. Another way would be to just paint Accord on there. The only other option would be to have ACCORD machined into the calipers. I'm not sure if that would affect performance, but I know it would definitely collect dirt. lol

Re: [Updated 1/29/15] J32 Swap [Maintenance]

New master cylinder came in today. In the meantime I've replaced the clutch, flywheel, crankshaft seal, and timing belt. The J30 will be coming out tomorrow.

Calipers are on hold due to the transmission beginning to fail on the 5spd. Debating whether I should go through the trouble of replacing it or sell the car as-is.

Just bought XS Power headers. Next thing is a high flow cat. I like my current mufflers. I just need to decide between a 2.5" resonator or straight pipes from cat to mufflers. I want a deep powerful sound, but nothing obnoxious.
