Man, that is light, not much more than Brent had with his 2G, and that was stupid light.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects

What other things have you done for weight reduction to get it that light?

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects

I got out to the garage a little this weekend. Installed the hydraulic e brake. It works great, super cheep on ebay. The only down fall is that I needed to make one of the tube nut fittings that interfaces the hydraulic cylinder. The thread count was non standard, for brake applications. The handle sits where the factory one was.



Next up is the half radiator install.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects

How much was it? Will you be using that as a staging brake then?

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects

Yes, I will be using it as a staging and parking brake. The price was around 45 bucks!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects

Wow thats pretty good. If I were to get one it would be without the locking button, so just for launching and burnouts

Because holding the button in is tough?

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects

That's the way it's setup, no button. To use it as a parking brake you need to flip a lever.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects

I was honestly thinking of buying this on eBay when I was cruising through brake stuff. I'm impressed!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects

Just wrapped up my half radiator installation. It was cheap on Ebay, I think around 80 shipped. Its a 3 row out for a Civic application. I modified the inlet and outlets to increase the size up to 1.5", chopped off the filler neck and covered it up, fabricated new mounts, added a petcock valve, and to wrap it up made a new overflow tank.

Weight savings ended up being 17+ pounds. Kind of crazy, more than what I expected. I weighed both radiators filled with water to make the comparison. Some of the weight was due to removing the extra radiator fan too.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects

Thanks again for the feedback.

I purchased one of those frontline fab rear end covers at the end of September and just received it earlier this month. I got a little advice from Mondale on how to install it, thanks.

I also took the opportunity to take a touch of weigh out of it. The cover was a little heaver than the stock so I tubed up the rear brace to turn it into a net loss of weight. I used 1.25" 4130 .096 wall.

I have a couple of little projects and I will be ready for the season. I need to wire up the launch solenoid, send my injectors out to FIC for clean/balancing, drop the oil pan to take a peak at bearings, and get my turbo back from PTE(It was starting to leak oil into the exhaust housing).
