For scale that's a 32mm axle nut and a 4x120mm lug spacing.

4x120?

Honda was a huge fan of 4x100 on everything through the 80s (and 90s Civics + Integras still used 4x100), what the hell Honda?

You really don't need much for that car. I figured it came with drums.

The N/Z/S600 was even cuter on 10" rims.

Hey 14, just a theory: it have probably have been cheaper to have put in a single cam EFI D-series by now? I know you gotta have rocking horse poo poo and pain but I think the performance would be pretty awesome.

I admire your persistence.

Far as I know, with the 1200 anything other than the EB series requires significant modification to even fit. The CVCCS are 3" longer, and only require moderate modification. Basically the firewall is in the way :v:

It's just one of those days.

Plus side I'm back up to 2 working calipers. New pads too.

Now I just need to find where I put the rest of the pad hardware.

Office Max has them for 1.39 per 100: http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/429175/Office-Depot-Brand-Paper-Clips-Jumbo/ :v:

Actually, the pads look about the same size as other modern small Hondas.

Saab did the same thing but also built the handbrake into the unit too just because there wasn't enough to go wrong and sieze up on it already!
