I think he said he has a bad wheel cylinder.

just curious............

yeah i'm 99% sure its the wheel cyl, that wheel has fluid all around the inside of it, and when i took the drum off you could see that it was kinda wet. I saw that when it was up on the lift, and none of the other wheels are like that at all. I have a new one and a hardware kit sitting in the backseat right now, just waiting on my vacuum bleeder to get here and then i'll go down and pick up some brake fluid. Hopefully my bleeders on the other three wheels break loose alright. Time will tell on that one

Oh and pending money from a number of side projects i'll be snagging a pt6 ecu from an accord ex. It should give me somewhere in the neighborhood of 10hp, since preludes with a1's had that ecu and made that much more, although it could be a bit more since i have a better intake and exhaust than stock. I need to adjust my valves and clean up all the grease and gunk from around the top of the valve cover to see if i need to get a seal or what, i cant tell if its just a really slow leak or i didnt clean very well when i replaced the valve cover gasket. I'm going to go put my fuel filter in tomorrow hopefully if the weather cooperates.

edit: I've been thinking, and i think what i might try to do before i start racing anything is to replace my radiator with an aluminum civic radiator. They have a couple advantages:

-they're half as big as the stock radiator, and even the turbo guys dont overheat with stock civic radiators so i dont have to worry about overheating
-i can use the extra space to get a giant transmission cooler, hopefully with a fan

I was browsing around online, and given my current budget and stuff, i've decided that my goal when i run at the shootout is going to be to get into the 15's. This outlook can change a bit if i get more money, but i figure i wont have to spend a ton more to get into 15s. I can test it out a bit now to see, but i'd have more traction at the track than on asphalt right? My plans before the shootout are going to be

-unorthodox crank pulley
-pt6 ecu from an accord ex
-a6 cam, or bisimoto l2 cam and gear
-a6 intake manifold/tb

this besides just the belts/seals. I do want to try to find a better set of tires for the front, i need new wheels but i'm not sure if my biggest problem is going to be traction or lack of power. Maybe you guys can give me some further insight on that

h22 right? 2 dr or 4? what all you got done to it? If you're as far along as i think you are, you should be real close to your goal. You'd be better off calling hondata and spending 200 on a socketed p6, IMO. That way you can tune. But i know how hard the budget game is these days. I got a buddy with a 2 dr accord and he could kinda keep up with me before i went turbo. I'd usually get him by a car and a half. My car, before turbo, was supposedly good for mid 15's with slicks. He had headers back and intake. Don't know if that'll help any...

I have an f22, i'd swap to an h but i plan on going turbo as well, since i can use a dsm mani/turbo. I also forgot to put that i do plan on getting a test pipe and 2.5" catback installed, since the stock exhaust looks like a straw. The only mods i have so far are intake and the header, but as soon as i get a check in i've been waiting for i'll have a new ecu. I havent decided whether i want to go with hondata or crome. It really depends on what my limitations with crome would be.

oh i c. Sounds like you'll be good on your goal. The h only has like 10 or 20 horse over the f anyways right? The only reason i suggest hondata is they're honda. If they can't do what you want, no one can. But hey it's your pie, bake it to your taste. I'd like to see your turbo setup when it's done. I'd never even heard about the 4g's mani matching up before you guys talkin about it. Guess you learn something new every day if you pay attention.

i think my motor makes 125hp/140tq stock, at least according to the book, and the h22 makes 160hp stock. The f22a6 makes 145hp stock i think, and i have a better header than the manifold that comes with that, and intake too. I think it should be a reasonable goal.

definately. Very reasonable.

i decided today that i'm in the market for a jdm/edm/canadian armrest, since it's not hella tiny like mine. The way i drive, i like to rest my right arm on the armrest while it's on the wheel, but my armrest isnt long enough to do that. But in the "every market EXCEPT USDM" car, the armrest was much bigger like this http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=133152

on friday i got some help with my transmission cooler line from the fixem up good shop. I think it still leaks, but i have more line, so it's all good. Also, they forgot to plug my radiator fan back in :O It doesnt matter though because my car is waaay overcooled so i dont think the car even tried to turn it on.

oops... lol Damn It Jared! lol You fit right in at the Fixem Up Good shop!

LMAO!! What can I say!?! I fix em up good!!

i fixed my transmission leak last night (i'd say no thanks to the fixem up good shop, but andy getting that stupid elbow piece on was awesome because that meant i didnt have to do it) and also today i drove to BG to university honda and picked up my turn signal socket and the missing clip for my splash shield since it looked like it was going to fall off. It's all good now

So what was the leak? that fitting?
