BRAKING SYSTEM CLEANED UP

Shortly after the Evo arrived, there was always this question of why does this car not stop as it should. Last night the calipers were taken apart for a deep clean and service, not so surprised to see one of the rears were seized, luckily it was able to be saved. The lack of braking performance was also caused by three of the four lines being semi to completely clogged, luckily there was already a set of Goodridge stainless brake lines here. The Endless pads that went into the car earlier this year were chucked in place for Ferodo DS2500s, Brembo sport slotted rotors were also installed.

GOODRIDGE: A BACKGROUND OF RACING HISTORY
For more than twenty years, Goodridge have been supplying hose and fittings to the world’s leading race teams. Ongoing research and development means that the lessons learned on the track are passed on to you, the serious user.

These race-bred brakelines are constructed from the finest quality hose, consisting of a PTFE inner and stainless steel overbraid.

• Eliminated sponginess under heavy braking.
• Increases braking efficiency.
• Abrasion and corrosion resistant.

Available now for most Honda/Acura applications.

Legamax Exhaust Systems are designed to reduce backpressure and increase exhaust flow for greater peak power and a broader torque band. Each Legamax Exhaust application utilizes a specific muffler design and shape along with the appropriate piping diameter to maintain low-end torque while maximizing high-end horsepower. Most Legamax systems are made from polished SUS304 stainless steel piping.

ILLUMINATED DOOR SILLS INSTALLED PLUS CARBON FIBER FUN

All we were suppose to install were the illuminated door sill trim set for the CR-Z, however we got a tad bit carried away as usual. The door sills are finished with a molded in carbon fiber pattern, it only seemed fitting to add more of this finish throughout the car.

Illuminated Door Sill Trim
The Illuminated Door Sill Trim is the finishing touch to dress up the interior while protecting the lower door sill from scuff marks. Blue LED lights illuminate the CR-Z logo when the door is open.
• Made of 0.5mm 304 stainless steel with injection-molded polypropylene for durability and protection.
• Molded-in carbon-fiber pattern.
• Polished stainless steel with illuminated CR-Z logo.

Armrest
The Armrest adds convenience and comfort to your vehicle.
• Adjustable, slides forward and backward for best seating comfort.
• Large padded lid accommodates driver and passenger.
• Multiple storage compartments.
• Can be flipped up in a vertical position out of the way.

EVO TAKE DOWN





It’s been almost a week now from when the Evo first arrived, since then it has been striped down to address some major wiring issues. Inside the cockpit you immediately see a GReddy controller paired to some Apex’i controller, relayed over to some other JDM controller, wired over to some boost gauge, all of which did not function. Along with all the modern computers, came a load ton of wiring that really didn’t lead to anything, more tapped into places where it should not have been tapped to. Rather than sorting each unit out and tracing hundreds of wires, it was all pulled and placed into the garbage where it belonged, currently still at the restoring point of the main cabin harness.

AND SO IT BEGINS WITH THE S2000 CR

Earlier this year Allan hooked up with a 2008 Honda S2000 CR, leaving his long time love, the DC5 (let’s call her, Kasumi) for a bolder, more beautiful AP2 (and this one, Hitomi). Some months have past, remaining a virgin, unmolested, sitting happily in the garage and occasionally coming out to play… all this is about to change. Allan had been acquiring some serious ingredients for this newfound love of his, we’re talking about a total transformation, from a mildly attractive girl to Miss. Universe.

The completely list out the ingredients is just ridiculous, so when I say the entire brake and suspension system is being taken care of, I really do mean just. As for the power unit, it is the usually combo, intake, header, exhaust plus a killer tune.

LANCIA INTEGRALE EVO






No, unfortunately this is not Evo’s Evo, although identical in colour it may be, Evo’s elephant powered machine is still somewhere in Hong Kong, supposedly making its way to some container onto some boat! ETA, at this point, completely unknown! For the time being our friend has kindly lent David his Evo, so that we can learn to appreciate what fine Italian engineering is all about.
