Brembo supplies many car manufacturers with original equipment rotors so you're able to buy Brembo "blanks" (solid rotor) instead of going to a dealer and buying the same thing at a 40% mark up.

CleanNeon is correct. I was using the FM kit. I sold it right before I moved back to Philadelphia from California.

ah, fair enough. I knew that evos and some (?) wrxs came with brembo blanks... didn't know what other car makers used them on their "sports car" models. Thats a good route then.

Yea, in a half-assed "race" from a light on a downhill where you got the jump and I didn't even launch..besides straight line is boring.

Your car is still assembled in Canada...if its so Japanese why not assembled in Japan? Surely should be if my "Ford" is

With a car like this straight line is just boring cause you feel like you are cheating it out of what it was designed for

Civics were never race cars, they were economy cars. People just take them and make them fast, and since they are so popular to mod Honda makes different versions of the Civic. Thats like taking a Geo-Metro and racing it.

Miata's aren't race cars either but they are well balanced and are a good platform for handling.

Thats what I mean...I would much rather throw this thing around in corners all day than take it to the strip. Straight line is boring to me because unless you have a high power car, it really comes down to what car is faster, not who is a better driver.
