Ronald your car is soooooo damn nice, i can never get enough of your photo shoots, would it be cool if i use your car as my laptop's wallpaper?...also on your wire tuck, where did you mount your drivers side heat sync and which wires did you extend?

thanks a lot

Your car is pimp.

That is all.

[Ronald_Type-R]

Wow Too many compliments!! Thanks very much for all the love everyone!!

Jukes, you're welcome to use any pics you want!!! Any pics of my car that's out on the net is for everyone!!!

About the wire tuck, I honestly can't remember which wires I extended...Wasn't that many though, maybe 5 wires at most?? Once you tear apart all the looms, you get a lot more slack with the wires, and I just worked my way from there

And by the heat sync are you talking about the injector resistor box? If you are, right now the box is sitting right beside my clutch fluid reservoir


I was working on my brakes last week (worn out pads, seized rear caliper, etc. etc.) and I figured I'll take some pics while they still look new and pretty...Here are some pics!

Endless/VTTR front brake pads


AEM/Nissin rear brake pads


Brembo blank rear rotors


Just because I like colours


And some other new mods on the car:

(Circuit Hero shifter extender, JDM CL1 Euro-R bronze aluminum shift knob, Alpine HDA-5460 HDD Drive in the background)


And just a pic of my car taken by Mike (604_cb7) and his gf, edited by me



Thanks again for all the comments, you guys always keep me motivated!!

ya...no fast car if no good brake...

Endless/VTTR front brake pads

Where in the world did you get Endless pads from?

And also, what are the specs on those front calipers? Are the CF4's similar to any others that can be swapped (Legend, CB9, ect.)?

EDIT: Found out they are based on the First Gen NSX. So I guess the question is answered. That's some serious stopping power you have there.

car is looking hott man, keep it up

[blizzard335]

Again, syabas on the great pics.

Those calipers look so nice.

I need to redo my yellow calipers.

I've no idea what colour to paint thm next.

BTW, those calipers are from the CF4? They are the same model (17CL15VN) as the CD6 and BB6.

Still one of my favorites on the site!

Hehe these calipers are stamped "17CL15VN", and I believe the same calipers are used by ITRs, BB6 Ludes, BB4 VTEC Ludes, V6 Accord, CR-Vs, etc. etc..So definitely not hard to find brake pads for them

They've been treating me good so far, I've had about 2 years on this setup, and they still slow me down when I go 240km/h LOL!

Ok I just refreshed and Affandi answered the question already..Thanks bro!! yup yup, 17CL15VN..I was told that these came off the CF4...Do they not use the same calipers as these bro?? Just curious..


What I REALLY want next (when this setup wears out) is ROH, 5-lugs, and NSX calipers, ooorrr Spoon monoblock if I can find a good deal on a pair of those But for now, these will do just fine!!

Thanks again for all the kind words everyone, I really appreciate it!

Yes, they did come in the CF4, as well as the CM4, CM5 (same size, but use slightly different pads with nipples), CD6, the later BB4s, CF2, CD8, CL2 (6th gen wagon) and a few more. Oh, the RA1 Odyssey as well.

NSX calipers are hot!

Damn bro, 240km/h???

Ahh good good, just as I thought then...yeah I'd sooo rock NSX calipers...but again, if I can get a good deal on Spoon monoblocks, then why not..

But anyways, won't be for the next 2 years or so, when my brakes stop working on me which by then you prolly won't be hearing from he hahaha and yup yup, 240km/h, and that's on 4th gear too!!! LOL I didn't have enough room to go at it on 5th, there's no local hwy long enough for that run

last i heard a CB going over 240, that car had to rev up to 10k RPM (fiddled with his RSM). He was doing 263

[Tnwagn]

but again, if I can get a good deal on Spoon monoblocks, then why not..

Hell yeah, I've been looking around and know that they can fit (given the correct wheels and spacers).
