[hr]I was just wondering if you know that adding octane+ to 93 octane gas actually doesn't do anything for your octane......Anyway, I was wondering if you could take LOTS of pictures, as I am planning to do this swap also, and if it's not too much trouble, maybe a parts list?? Any little bit is appriciated!! [hr]
I've done tests back in high school where the octane level has increased using 87, 89 and 93 octane automobile gas with an octane booster. We found more deposits and slower burning of the combustin chamber. We also think it got better miles but it was a lawn mower and it's not like we rode it around to see the results heh. I think it will work, but I don't know why regular 93 can't be used daily.

A/C and Power steering stays. All you have to do is have or get new hoses and lines for everything. There is enough room for everything.

how are you going to deal with the rear? are you going to grab parts off a wrecked EL or SiR?

doing the rear disc brake conversion is actually pretty straight forward. the good news is that you shouldn't have to switch master cylinders, i'm not totally done with mine yet (cause the place i ordered the rear suspension from sent me one that has a bent spindal) but everything appears to work fine. it does just bolt right on just so you know.

cosmicjim: you will need the rear lower control arm, upper control arm (just get a new camber piece), abs line, rubber line to caliper, emergency brake cable, and the brake assembly itself. if you use the rsx strut/spring setup the ride height will be fine, if you use what i did, using koni and ground control from the civic then connect that to the lower control arm that alone will drop your car 1 inch. to attach the emergency brake cable, you will have to take appart your console, but it just bolts right in, with no other modifications or anything.

Just one question for you. Did you have to change the outer joints in the front for civic axles to work because I know the bolt pattern inside the hub is bigger on the rsx than the civic. thats the reason why you have to change out the outer joints when doing the k20 on your rsx axles.

venomscivic: all i had to do to get them to fit with absolutely no problems was to take a 5/8 inch drill bit and drill them out. with doing that they mounted up perfectly, using the rsx bolts even. the front was more tricky to do, and took a lot more time, but was well worth it. the picture isn't that great, but if you would like i'll get you a better one, just let me know.

ABuddy of mine just ordered his K20 type R yesterday, he paid 6200 for everything. His car will be back in March its getting sent out tommorow. They just stripped everything off the car. He has lots of stuff for sale btw, his car is red. Its geting stripped because he is getting Meredes Benz S type conversion headlights and tailights, getting candy apple red paint and widebodied. Its going to be raw. And his car is on 19's
