feel free to share photos of your superior setup.
redstar–i’ll see what i can do this evening when i get home from work.
dont even trip…
hi felix. ur up pretty late… :dozing:
I won’t. I’ve been walking for 26 years now. I’ve got it down pretty good.
still waiting for photos of your superior setup, charlie.
here are my 6 piston calipers w/ ss lines. i bet these are :gay: too
thanks for helping everyone out armed, no rush for pictures just whenever its convenient
for those who dont know, ricecooker415 was kidding, he has legend calipers too…
just incase anyone thought he was serious…
:sipread: you guys take offense to easily, so hostil (sp)
i will post pics of dc5 brembos later, peace out
G2guru- from studying the pics of the bracket befroe modification, and the pics you posted, the area you grinded was actually raised before if you know what im trying to say. in way it was cast. what did you use to grind it down?
also did you redrill your holes in the rotors or did someone do it for you? do you think its safe for me to match the new and old rotors up, mark the holes and drill them myself? after measuring and remeausring and check and recheck of course.
QUOTED:
The rotors can be sourced at your local Napa store, or by going to www.napaonline.com and selecting a 1994 Prelude VTEC. Make sure it says the size is 11" (or maybe slightly larger). Have them redrilled to a 4x100 lug pattern–take your old rotor to the machine shop if you can, this will help them out immensely.
END QUOTE:
if we kept the rotors lug pattern, we have effectively done a 4x114.3 lug conversion as well right?
any rotors with more commonly used 5x114.3 pattern that can be substituted?
correct me if this wont work.
r-o-b no i dont think. because the rotors are being redrill ed to OUR lug pattern. the pattern is still 4x100. for a 1x114 conersion you would need that actual hub i think. not sure if i understood you right.
whitey got it.
g2 tegs are 4x100. if you don’t re-drill to that lug pattern, you won’t be able to put the rotors on your car.
a 4x114.3 conversion is very labor-intensive, and for many people cost-prohibitive (for the same price you can have a really nice wilwood setup and a rear upgrade using OEM parts that i’ve shared with a few members here as well).
Armed Ferret- do you think its possible to drill he rotors yourself?
i have personally done several sets of rotors for friends.
however, you have to realize here at Offutt AFB we have an auto hobby shop that resides in an old hangar. it happens to house 24 service bays, many with lifts. it also just happens to contain a full-house machine shop–lathes, a brake rotor turning thingamajigger, blasting cabinet (with a blasting media capacity somewhere around 250 pounds), hot tank big enough that a Dodge Viper longblock will fit in (i was there when they put it in), 40-ton snap-on shop press, 2 full-size floorstanding mills, and various other fun little toys.
So i have the access to the tools that make it possible. could a person do it in their basement with a drill press? eh…probably. would it take a shitload of patience and luck to pull it off without the ability to make a CNC template? you bet your ass.
oh and the pic of where to grind should be working again.
i don’t know what happened to the photo of the rotor i had.
next pair of rotors i drill for someone, i’ll be sure to get some pics.
Armed Ferret-im not sure if youd be willing to but would it be possible to do a set for me? id pay you in advance cuz think i remeber when you wanted to do it the people were assholes and backed out?
How well does the MC handle the more demand of fluid from the dual piston calipers? I’m in the process of getting the legend dual piston calipers. Gonna see if one of the rotor companies would drill the 4x100 pattern into the prelude vtec rotors instead of the 4x114 pattern. My friends brother or brother in law owns Rotor Pros down in SoCal.
I might have a lead on another set of dual piston legend calipers. Will find out on monday.
white–yeah, i’d probably be willing to do that. email me or hit me up on AIM.
jdm–the MC handles it fine; i’d recommend using a gsr 1" master instead of the 15/16" master, just because it gives you even better response.
i dont know enough to realize the stud’s go through the hub as well.
part #23 is behind part #3
thx for clearing that up whitey & ferret.
