Bunger: Where'd you get the aluminum drums?

[SVOboy]

Matt mentioned he found a seller to me before but is there a store or something that sells these? What's the weight savings like?

Is there no reply button on this thing???

Anyways... I horde them... but seriously, get them from your local wrecking yard off of 87 CRX Hfs (easy to tell... they are the ones without rust all over the outside of them)... or... get this... Honda Insight. Yup, get them new from Honda. I'm just a cheap b*stard. =)

I see the reply button now that there are a few post on this thread... odd...

Anyways... I will warn ya, not that it realy deserves a "warn" there is this SMALLEST bit of aluminum that gets taken off by some bit of your hub or something... so expect a little scrap sound for the forst 50 miles or so. I have yet to pony up for the insight ones, so I'm not sure if this holds true for them as well. Nothing big, I've put on 2 sets so far.

Ohhh and for weight savings (damn i wish i had a gram scale!!) I would say expect 3lbs total at least. And the finning on them looks like you mean business. Really I think these are WAY better than the iron issues... Aluminum should shed the heat faster and are lighter, no drawbacks here!

I have a GOOD account (body shop price + some) at my local honda dealer. Maybe I can sweet talk the wholesale girlie into cutting me an even bigger break (brake... har har) for these drums.

I gots an extra set in the garage, one sec and I'll go take a pic of what part i'm talking about.

Check out that linkery for the lip I speak of.

I owe that set to a lady friend... but I'll hunt do down a set mi amigo.

wow SVOboy is really after that MPG. Maybe I should get myself a 90' civic hatch. Too many mods for it to lower it's weight and gain a lot of mpg.

How bout the 88 Hf, 1819 lbs curb weight stock... and the stock mileage isn't too bad either! =)

[Compaq888]

interesting. Might have to look into this. I blow a lot of money on the car maybe I can get that car to 60mpg. Also where in Cali are you located?

Northern part mostly, in and around the sacramento area. Do you call from this area as well?
