at very long last i got my rotors and coupler for the SC kit.

so i had some time to polish up my rotor case as there was a bit of ware on the inside. i smoothed it out with 1200 grit. clearences wont be as tight but at 12psi it wont be to much of an issue. plus it should help with heat problems.

Not sure if you all know but Swich was nearly taken out by a bakkie (Nissan Hardbody I think) while out on business. His Civic has suffered damage but it could of been worse if he hadn't reacted and avoided being T-boned  Shocked

If anyone has a spare lower control arm for Civic 92-95 EG Sedan, send him a PM or get hold of me and I'll pass the information on. The front custom bumper was also damaged, if it can't be repaired he'll have to redo the whole thing - a bit of work but not the end of the world.

Glad you're alright though and let us know how things unfold. Hope the dude is paying for everything.

Swich has located two LCA's and a sub frame. Looks like he's all sorted for now.

You scored big time. That was a rare find and just the right timing for the wrong timing. If you get what I mean. Proceed onto getting ready for JapFest 2.0 shall we?  Cool

Good update Swich, things evolve and so do priorities (interior for example). I see you haven't really gone into great detail on the motor rebuild - but the guys should know that this motor will put down a lot more than the last one.

Can't recall, the original power figure, it wasn't bad but it's a far cry from what this one will put down when I'm done with it on the tuning side.

Right so we removed the S/C to persue a slightly different route in the meantime. This is footage from the weekend - You have to agree, that VTEC engagement is sounding sweet.
