for. what. purpose

I could see that setup on, say, a S13 for a hydro handbrake setup... but why a civic
>>

maybe he wants to flatspot his tire
>>
>>15357405
>dual rear calipers
ones handbrake
ones footbrake

but civics arn't even fast enough to justify anything more than drums on the rear. a good 85-90% of the weight will be over the front wheels under braking

Wasn't serious. Just poking fun at people who dump thousands into economy cars.

dumping money into anything thats not a classic is kinda lame. for example, if i bought a new ford focus RS, would i mod it? oh fuck no its already good enough. that bitch would not even get a k&n. its good enough from the factory for me.

dump money in a classic like this instead

I have to agree. If you are going to go through the trouble and finances of adding on to or restoring it, then go for a classic vehicle of some kind

I have always wondered what thoae rear mini calipers were meant for. How come they seem more common on high performance cars?
>>
>>15359981
Most likely because they don't want to try and fit a drum brake inside the rotors.
>>
>>15357441
Why can't people just do what they want with their car?
>>
>>15359981
Its for the parking brake mate, some multi piston calipers are too resistive to hand clamp by the joy stick so a seprate smaller calliper is used
>>

>then go for a classic vehicle of some kind

I think any kind of offroader is exempt from this rule. my 91 Toyota definitely isn't a classic. still saving up for a decent header, then MAYBE a cam.
>>
new self-maintenance fag here

I noticed that on one of my rotors, the surface is uneven. There's a groove of where the pad would hit the surface, while the other 3 rotors are nice and even. I suspect its do to warping of the rotor.

Anyways I'm thinking of machining it at my local O'Rielleys or should I replace it altogether.

See how much a new one costs, most of the time a new rotor is cheaper than getting it refinished.

>>
>>15367229
Are those pretty serviceable? You hear horror stories about changing pads and rotors on cars with inboard brakes but I imagine they are somewhat accessible for being muh truckin application.
>>
>>15367265
Most techs have never seen them, but thankfully, the discs and shoes are outlasting some of the trucks. They'll go for 300,000miles+ without wearing out and the truck gets sold with factory brake components.
>>
>>15357441
That's why you mod civics because they are crap from factory.
>>
>>15360011
Because lap times don't account for modified models so busriders can't make sense of it.
>>
>>15369387
Only autistic people care so much about posting lap times...

It's not like we are all after strictly track cars or dedicated tracks cars...

I mean I will never be the best driver in the world, I will never be up to the talent of a forumla 1 driver... So why not just drive a car you like and hope for the best?
