so took off my front bumper today and reinforced a lot of the bumper mounting points with jb weld..

zip tied my front lip, so it doesn't sag so much since i be scrapping it all the time being so low.. i'm going to need a new si-vtec front lip soon because the floor has sanded it down so much it's breaking apart in some places :lol:

cleaned my front ABS sensors.. (my ABS light still comes on.. gotta check the rear ones..)

had to open up the hole on the bottom of my headlights so i could fit in new amber LED bulbs for the city lights.. but this time i tried using water to wash out the dust from filing the plastic.. and now a bunch of water is trapped in the headlight hahaha.. i hope the water will go away on it's own.. there's a water drainage valve on the headlights for a reason? i hope that works.. or else i'm going to have to put them in the oven and bake them on low heat or something.. damn.. any suggests on this? :x

engine is stock except a K&N drop in filter, i did remove the resonator below the stock air box though (i am still looking for parts to do the DIY ice box).

engine had 103k on it when i bought the car over 2.5 years ago.. now it's at 136k miles..

i keep the engine well maintained.. so it runs very well.. except i need to adjust the valves soon.

also need to do the power steering fluid flush and transmission fluid flush..

i live in california so it's hard for me to decide what i want to do with it. i did recently find a way around passing smog, so..

since it's an automatic i'm having a bit of a hard time trying to decide.

i also have an '85 honda nighthawk 700sc that i can ride. but i try to avoid riding in fall and winter and rain.

here are my options:

1. ls-vtec with automatic till it dies and do 5spd swap.

2. gt25r on 8lbs tuned hondata s300 with automatic till it dies and do 5spd swap.

3. just a 5 spd swap - GSR tranny and LSD.

4. full GSR b18c1 swap with GSR tranny and LSD.

i wish i had more money to throw at my car.. but i have to save up to do any of these options.

i also want to do the itr front brake upgrade and finish my suspension.

Do a Acura Legend GS 2 piston caliper upgrade its what I have. The motor save up for 5 speed swap full GSR with LSD. Its better to do it right the first time.

yeah i'm really leaning towards just swapping in a obd1 b18c1 with tranny and LSD and still get hondata s300 for tuning.

is there a reason the legend gs 2 piston caliper is better than the type r caliper? and which rotor would you use with the legend gs 2 piston caliper?

280mm Diameter Mini Cooper Rotor, and the GS is equivalent to NSX calipers

here are some of the parts i got recently..

the skunk2 front UCA bushings & anchor i got last week..

ebc usr rear rotors and rear hawk ceramic pads..

i thought the EBC rotors were supposed to have black black slots? did i buy the wrong ones?

still waiting on the front type R calipers, mini cooper front ebc usr, front hawk ceramic pads, techna-fit SS brake lines, and ate super blue fluid..
