uh... brake tests? .... isn't every day driving proof enough? Heck, the big brake look is probably enough for me to justify the Apex 2-piece rotors and GTR calipers. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':love:'>
I'm liking the rims a lot, too. What size are they, and what kind of tires?
Your car is a beauty... but the headlights look slightly ghetto. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':sly:'> not that it's a bad thing!

While i was doing the swap a guy in the stall next to me wanted to buy them so i sold them to him <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'> The hood is cusco fiberglass with doluck vents.All in all for the 5 lug change it cost me this:
front hubs 250
rear knuckle 80
rear rotor 110
gtr calipers &nbsp;100
apex 2 piece rotors 200
steel braded brake lines &nbsp;80
ebrake conversion kit 90
rims & tires 640
stall fees 24 brake fluid 5
for a total of about 1555
it took me about 7 months to get all the parts and motivation to do it &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>
The calipers cane be found anywhere here in japan for about 2-300$ and i got the rims fron a resale shop for dirt cheap. don't know why so cheap but i wasnt askin <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> The offset is front +35 and rear +38 with dnagp tires @front 215/45/17 and 235/45/17 on the rear
The brakes are a HUGE difference. I can actually stop now!
Thanks for all your input! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

damn it must be nice living in Japan, just from looking at one of the pics I wanna go, 180SXs, Zs (I think), Soarers, and Skylines.

Very nice car, and I love the rims, I saw a pic of em on an NSX at TakaKaira, and always wondered what they look like on an S13

Keep up the good work <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>
