I'm lost, snail = turbo? :S

Nah next on the list is vtec brakes, then sway bars, then strut braces.

What's the size difference in caliper / brake size to non-VTEC?

[Sunkist]

nothing. should upgrade to FT86 brakes.

in all honesty i wouldnt worry about brake. some slotted rotors and good pads will be much more cost effective than upgrading the whole lot

nothing. should upgrade to FT86 brakes.

[PENGUYEN]

current front: 242

Vtec front 262

Current rears: drums

vtec rears: discs, not sure of size

Or I could go 5lug and have Type R 282mm fronts. but thats overkillz, though it'd be nice, i'd have to buy new wheels though...

Interesting.

Seems decent for a street upgrade.

But yeah, Type R calipers would be nice upgrade.

[Sunkist]

are you gonna track it or something? i really wouldnt bother upgrading the brakes dude.. put money somewhere else!

brakes if you do turbo..

[PENGUYEN]

Brakes are for future vtec or turbo, deca/track yes. later though

[Sunkist]

if you go turbo you would probably want a little more than 1 pots. i'de go the type R if you do it. if your gonna do it may as well do it properly

[PENGUYEN]

*shrugs* I'll see, i've got lots of time. 3.5 years left on my P's. TypeR brakes sounds shweeeet though

[Sunkist]

I just got an idea..

RACING STRIPES!

[PENGUYEN]

Baws

[Sunkist]

should do trans cooler and shit aswell.

cheap and effective.

[PENGUYEN]

Never thought of that. I could use the same coolers for different tranny and engine later on?

Would probably be one of the things i do after all the suspension

Hey I know how you feel.

I once had a U13 bluebird, stock as a rock.

then a "friend" took me along to a deca to wtch how he went.

I was like, hey I can do that, so I went in my std car, and admittedly had a blast, and most importantly beat our security manager at work:

so then I had this great idea, and I put bigger rims, whiteline suspension, whiteline sway bars and sticky tires

and holy shit did it handle differently it our corned nearly anything I could find, so brought back to a deca and gave it a real test

Nah they are two differently styled cores

[xALmoN]

i think he's asking if he can reuse the trans cooler for a different box later in the car's life.

[Sunkist]

oh. you could if you still went with an auto later on.. no need if you went manual..

but you cant shouldnt use tranny coolers for engine oil.. you wouldnt want a hose popping off at red line
