Man that's awesome! I've thought about a b18c R, its just I could I do a full b16 for the cost of an R engine, trans, and ecu..

Guess I'll keep researching and exercising patience.

Dood make a build thread so I can follow your hatch!

Nice man. Sounds like it will be a solid setup. This is for the stock 9.3" brakes right?

^yeah that's correct :cool:

I swear though after riding in my brothers four door, he has new blanks and pads with old/original fluid, stock lines, and low tire tread, it still stops on a dime! I figured with my new tires and stainless lines with blue fluid it will be all the better, he stopped from 60mph today in front of the work parking lot and we "paced" the distance and it was like 120ish feet. I'm sure they will be great in my lighter little hatch =)

Eh, my 9.5 (9.489" :rolf:) cx brakes with upgraded rotors and pads will brake as good as those 10.3" brakes you picked up without a re fresher, so I'd say about the same lol. Just for now cause my old rotors and autozone pads suck!

We were driving to Winston for a meet (and I keep getting drunk and forgetting to take piktars) and on the off ramp to the first light from 70mph it was " okay, I've got brakes, I've got brakes... Where are they going?? Hey! Get back here!!" Lol, made my buddy Brandon nervous!

( I drink when we get there and make someone else drive back lol)
