I'm putting some $15 dollar brakes on my 86 accord hatchback

That box didn't quite work. It's cleaner, but it still missed some. :think:

Good idea for parts though.

the integra's looking nice, D! personally i'd ditch the clear taillights and either get bigger rotors or smaller wheels ;) but i love that color, the headlights, and the general clean lines.

yeah as soon as it gets painted the right color then I will be going to carbon head and tail lights...I had it painted a few months ago and they painted it dark brown:redhot:...I'm not sure if I want to go to larger rotors or 16" wheels...so many decisions. Once I get to Canada first thing is an engine swap :D

I have my truck, 1991 K1500 with some mods

5.7L 350 TBI injected, TB spacer, Volant Intake, JET chip, Flowmaster Delta series 40 into 3" catback, 3" cat

Tranny's been beefed up with a Transgo shift kit, TCI deep trans pan, Corvette servo, 2800 Stall converter

Pro comp 6" lift, 3" body lift, tripple shocks up front, leaf spring rear (no blocks) with 33" super swamper LTB's

I need to get some new tires though, 35's probably, re-gear to 4.56's, new passenger side CV joint and a pitman arm and I should be fine. It's a 91 ofcourse it's gonna need some parts :)
