I was going to get somewhere between 450-500 front/350-400 rear because i like that stiffness.
$1248 USD shipped. So a bit less after currency conversion. Ordered them direct through ground control. Sent them an email via the address supplied on their site. Customer service was exceptional I found. Quick to reply and hassle free.
Made myself a crankshaft pulley holder tool!

massive head****.. the guy i bought the car off never transferred the car into his name when he bought it, and never sent his transfer papers in when I bought it.. now car is unregistered and I didnt get the papers.. on the bright side, bought an unreg permit and booked it in for a rwc.. can you believe it only took me 1 minute to get onto a vicroads operator?
Suspension arrived this morning :-D Giggity
Storms coming, so gave it a good detail and re skinned it.

Haha, thanks, i have done 3 jdm front conversions, currently i own 2 dc2s, because iv'e done it a few times now its getting fairly easy, 1st time i did it took around 5 hours, now its taken 2-3 hours to do now.Quote:

Does a jdm front conversion affect your insurance or not really? Thinking about doing the conversion some day lol.
Iv'e only had 3rd party so im not sureQuote:

If your gonna get a jdm front end obviously you would take extra careful of it because the panels are very hard to come by not to mention pricey.
of course it will,youre using front end pieces never sold in this market and arguably cost moreQuote:

thats nice ma, hows the fitment of them enkei 92s? Any guard roll or camber? I herad they sit flush withou any work but just curious.

With that drop & 195/50/15 tyres they cleared just fine...i had a natural camber of 2.5-3 but i straighted it up to 2 and no scrub..
diy rolled guards and i pulled fender a bit.... :L dodgy hahaha
Damn really? I always thought guard rolled wasn't necessary or anything on Integras running 15x8 +25 because their guards are wide enough. Maybe on 195/45s wouldn't need guard roll or anything just natural camber. But nonetheless dude great clean car! Got anymore pics?Quote:

So leaving work a week ago proved to be eventful. Clutch hit the floor and I could feel the hydraulic pressure drop every time I used it. Through the various Hills suburbs I went, babying the clutch, driving slowly in second-third and rev matching trying to catch lights just right.
Looking at the clutch master cylinder, it was both empty and filthy - what looked like carbon build up inside. I checked the lines, then pulled off the slave/clutch rubber cover only to see fluid weeping from the piston end of the slave.
http://members.iinet.net.au/~setanta/dc2r/DSCN0311.jpg
Yonas at JDMYard hooked me up with a new slave and I got my tools out today.
Only to realise that the last time I did a brake/clutch line it was my '64 EH Holden and my spanners were all imperial.
Off to supercheap for proper line spanners (I've learned the hard way not to use regular spanners on lines) and fresh fluid and a one-man bleed unit.The E30 bonnet as a tool bench was optional.
http://members.iinet.net.au/~setanta/dc2r/DSCN0312.jpg
First step was to undo the pipe into the slave. Fortunately my spanner's length just fit into the fan shroud and turned without hitting the radiator. Easier than I guessed it would be. Next the two bolts holding the slave in needed a 12mm spanner on them as a ratchet would foul on the fan shroud. There are two ways of doing this, from the top (hard) from the bottom (easy). I of course didn't think to try it from the bottom. Off it came and promptly frll into the oil pan I had under the car.
http://members.iinet.net.au/~setanta/dc2r/DSCN0315.jpg
Lots of fluid on the gearbox and a little inside the dust cover. Gave it a clean up (and the OCD kicked in, I cleaned the bolts as well :D ) Got out the cue-tips and daughter's old toothbrush and cleaned the master cylinder cap that had carbon/grit inside it.
http://members.iinet.net.au/~setanta/dc2r/DSCN0319.jpg
Paper towel and cue-tips also took care of the master cylinder (couldn't get into the corners though - doesn't matter, it flushed out later on).
http://members.iinet.net.au/~setanta/dc2r/DSCN0317.jpg
Putting the slave back in was fiddly as the dust cover goes onto the slave, then you bolt it to the gearbox but first making sure the piston is seated in the clutch arm and that the line is seated. A few tries and it was all in. Putting the two bolts back required a bit of a jiggle to line the bolts up. As always, I couln't get the bolts to line up with the hole. Remembering what a mechanic mate had told me "Imagine it's your girlfriend" (innuendo implied) got both holes lined up easily enough (no inuendo implied!) and tightened it up. Dust jacket took a little finessing and then it was on to the bit I hate, bleeding the system.
Actually, now I'm starting to wonder if I'm talking about the car or not
http://members.iinet.net.au/~setanta/dc2r/DSCN0310.jpg
The one-man system is great, fill the master cylinder, half-fill the bottle attach small probe to the hose on the bleed-bottle and twist it into the bleed-nozzle. Back the nozzle off half a turn and put the bottle up higher than the slave (it has a nice magnet built into the bottle).
http://members.iinet.net.au/~setanta/dc2r/DSCN0320.jpg
Pump the clutch, top the master up, pump the clutch more, empty the bottle when full, rinse and repeat then snick the bleed closed. I went through just over a litre of fluid as I was flushing out all the crap that had been sitting in the system. By the end I finished with the lines clear This was the last of the crap:
http://members.iinet.net.au/~setanta/dc2r/DSCN0323.jpg
Master cylinder looking clean and clear:
http://members.iinet.net.au/~setanta/dc2r/DSCN0321.jpg
I then went back over everything to make sure I hadn't missed anything (or left tools in the engine bay), in the process realising that it would have been easier to get to the bolts from beneath. Clutch works nicely, engages smoothly and all is right in the world again. Not a bad effort for 3 hours work. It was possibly one of the easiest mechanical jobs I've done in a long time... so I've probably done something wrong :D
nice bor, whre can i get those one man bleed magic
My local auto store had it. Pretty damn cheap too (under 10 bucks).
Proper spanner is always good
yewww, genuine itr gear knob :) coils going in soon
