meh oh well. It was a bit too much for our market anyhow. +R button? Talk about cliche. You at a stoplight and a WRX is revving his shit at you. You press the +R button?!

Honda should be bringing turbo charged engines to USA sooner or later anyway. Just not in this car. Future Si I guess?

Absolutely not.

However, if someone were to offer a very reasonable amount for both I'd be willing to hand over the keys.

If you know how to read a flashpro datalog, I can post one up. the 0-100 real quick is a thing....

Still stock right now, which are shit.

Likely going to run EBC Redstuffs on some cheap blank rotors (NAPA/Autozone), with an RL BBK (hopefully).

I kind of want slotted just because they look cool, but i'll probably just get the tire rack blanks.

But how does red stuffs, Posi-quiet, and Hawks compare? I even found brembo pads in the similar price range. No idea what to pick lol.

And now i'm reading about Cryro-treated rotors... anyone heard of that? Gimmick or actually makes a difference?

From what I've read, cryo-treated rotors are not a gimmick. But whether they're worth it or not, I'm not sure. For the price jump and DD, I'm going to say no.

I'm not sure about EBC vs Hawk vs Brembo pads tho. I'm thinking EBC because there really aren't that many pad-options for the RL.

Get decent pads, random rotors, and SS brake lines and you'll be good.

This is a review i found while looking at brakes.

"I put this on my 04 TSX... What a difference! I don't know why I've waited so long to put these on. I have gone through a few sets of rotors on my car since I have owned it. One hard step of the brakes at 140mph cause my radar detector is going off and it warps them. The drilled and slotted rotors have yet to have any warping."

umm. what.

I have something stuck in my right eye. Honestly feels like a microscopic rock. Tried for an hour last night to flush my eye by throwing water at it, which is already hard enough as I hate touching my eye so I was blinking before the water could even reach my eye. Went to sleep and it's still there...I have no idea what to do.

If it doesn't go away in a day or two I'd see an Opthamologist. I had that before, and iirc it was a corneal abrasion (basically a scratch on your eye), it feels like there is a speck of sand under your eyelid, but in reality your cornea is scratched. It should repair itself within a day or two. Mine lasted for 12 hours.
