Wassup all, new to the MM site but I have met a few people from the MM crew..

Unfortunately they were Mike, and RJ, great first impressions guys :wink:

Anywho, I'm Navin from the NoVa area, drive a shitbox red honda civic hatch. You've probably seen me on the street driving and laughed at me..

Other than that, anyone going to the BMW autox this saturday. (tommorow)?

I need a 15x6 steel wheel for the 240. I've got three, but the fourth is on vacation and I need to get a replacement as cheaply as possible.

its a sad day, the last 3 are out. at least these are funny though, the last couple were major blowers. just thought i'd let you guys know

p.s. #25 is awesome

Ordered a set of Axxis Ultimate brake pads($57) and Blank Rotors from Carbotech($42/each) on Tuesday at 2pm. They arrived at my house when i got back home from work thurday of the same week.

also note that advanced auto had my stock rotors for $57 each ($15 more than what i paid for these) and tirerack.com had them for $41 each ($1 less, but no painting of the hat, vent edge, and hub side.

came in two days! nicely packed i have to say


Just opened it up to my surprise, they're painted to reduce rust!!! (didn't know stock replacements from carbotech came like this, very nice surprise! :p)


Even the vent side of the rotors are painted! (very happy customer incase you can't tell


and the pads


hub side too :roll:




just wanted to say thanx for the info with carbo tech and brake info guys, wouldn't have found out without you, hopefully i'll get to do a LOT more :wink:... :twisted:

This movie came from Sport Compact Car's Time Trial shootout (sanctioned by NASA). I believe the track is Buttonwillow. I have the full results in my SCC mag at home. This same Sentra also rolled some Evos, all of the Supras, and the RX-7's at the event. For reference, this is the Science of Speed NSX which claims 345 n/a whp and has 10's of thousands of dollars of bling in it.

Moral of the story: Don't bring your pimped out tuner car to race warz if you're not ready to throw down.

very simple...

will 94+ integra front rotors fit on a 99-00 civic Si cuz that's what carbotech just shipped me?

Its time to pick up my beater.... Whos got one? Ill need it for a PA-Richmond trip. :?:

1993 civic hatchback...no rust...no damage...red...99 civic si swap w/ 50,xxx miles...gsr front brake setup...gsr booster and mc...si wheels w/ decent tires...tokicos and h&r lowering springs...

$5000

well i found i might be able to get some half used hawk hp+'s for my front brakes for 30 bucks shipped.

i heard hp+'s dust bad, and squeel like a schoolbus (that will f up the effect of my whistle tips) but otherwise, how decent would you say they are for DD and auto-x? will they need too much heat to be decent at the speeds i will be braking from? my car is roughly 3200 lbs. or so with me in it. so would you say not worth the 30 bucks, or should i give it the college try?

im not totally sure of pricing on other decent performance pads but i would say they are usually like 60 bucks or so right?
