Yes it runs 🙂 it will be out first nice day in spring. Well it needs an alignment and a tune when its nice out next year. But after that it will be out and about. ---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 PM ---------- > [@Sansone](#): > > I love this thing.

For those that care… The car is at the garage where my car got painted at the moment for wet sand and buff, so as soon as I get it back the car will progress faster. ![http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/013a2220.jpg](http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/013a2220.jpg) Got the trans back together with the new LSD from quaife ![http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/8eb5865c.jpg](http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/8eb5865c.jpg) Motor and trans back together and in the car ![http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/cafca11d.jpg](http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/cafca11d.jpg) ![http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/31b7258b.jpg](http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/31b7258b.jpg) ![http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/12b0628e.jpg](http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/12b0628e.jpg) Did a ghetto alignment so I can at least drive the car to where it will be profesionally aligned in the spring ![http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/3e915959.jpg](http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/3e915959.jpg) ![http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/beb83d24.jpg](http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/beb83d24.jpg) Also picked up a brand new still in box EF8 bumper pole (: ![http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/5597220e.jpg](http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab163/esford90/5597220e.jpg) ---

I appreciate the love. ---------- Post added at 12:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 AM ---------- For what it’s worth and if anyone’s wondering. Having a 1" master and no brake booster is not that bad. I drove the car around my neighborhood and the brakes actually respond very well. I was surprised. The pedal is stiff as fuck but not too hard to the point where you have to stand on the brakes. Also I’m enjoying the clutch conversion from cable to hydro. It’s a much more consistent feel rather than it feeling like shit all the time and having to adjust it. I can’t wait to bring it out in the spring. Hopefully people respect the fact that even though it’s a Honda and a FWD fail, it wasn’t built for spinning through 3 rd gear. ---
