Its a terrible match haha, should have just wrapped them in carbon wrap!

Going to have them poking throught the mesh but only the bulb
 
So on the weekend I took it to a rolling road day at Powerstation, I had taken the car there previously when it was B16 powered.

It made 241.3 BHP which im pleased with as its only had breathing mods done.

Here is a video that someone took of it in HD!

Need to go up there again on a dry day!
 
Not much has happened with the civic, I have recently fitted an EK9 spolier which i plan on tilting up slightly.

The car is now off the road and tucked away for winter.

I plan on sorting the surface rust on the slam panel, fully painting the floor inside, getting a new steering wheel, the damage from Germany fixed and some sticky rubber. Will be back out in spring for some more track action then!

If i want to upgrade the rear brakes to bigger diameter but still keep 4x100 does anyone know what calipers and discs i will need?

I think I have seen people say about using MG rear brakes?
 
EM2 Civic 1.7 and MG ZS 2.5 V6 both have 260 rear disks and are 4x100.
Not sure about MG calipers but EK9 and DC2 (UK and 98) and definitely match up to the hubs. MB6 definitely do not. Not sure about Prelude and Legend etc.

In hindsight I personally wish I hadn't bothered with mine. I dont feel I got anything for it in terms of overall braking and obviously it adds weight and costs money.

Ah I would have thought that it would have made a difference? Guess ill just save the money and slap decent pads onto the rear.
 
It does make a difference but for me it made the rear brakes a little too strong and once the fronts were getting hot I was locking the rear quite a bit on the big stops. After donington last year I decided the car would probably run better using ebc reds on the rears rather than yellows which is a bit mad really. Unfortunately it's one of those things you won't know until you go ahead and do it, but that's my experience of it anyway.

I would say if you're more or less happy with how its stopping at the moment then stay 240mm and maybe experiment with pad combinations. My mistake was that was happy but just went ahead anyway thinking it was just something it should have only to find out I really didn't need to.
 
Just wrote all that assuming youve got some sort of 282mm setup on the front which I don't actually know. If you're 300mm fronts then it's almost certainly another story :)
