yeah when u take it out of context, it does seem like it's counter wut i said. but if u read that whole paragraph and understand what a knock sensor does, then i still stand. the knock sensor, when it senses knocking in the engine, retards the timing. so the only way that using the higher octane fuel in that engine would improve the performance, would be if the lower grade octane is detonating causing it to knock, and the sensor doing its job. otherwise if there is no knocking, no detonation, no preignition. it won't do anything for performance.
if u people don't want to believe me that's fine. i really don't care, i was just simply trying to save u sum money. i mean, y pay more for basicly nothing other than to say u use premium? yes i undersand some engines need the higher octane, and yes they will perform better on it than lower octane fuels. i guess the easiest way to put it is this. hectane burns damn easily and octane burns slower. as the octane rating goes up, the hectane rating goes down. thus the gas burns slower and slower, w/o the aid of heat from higher compression.
to each their own, but if u don't KNOW, then at least don't try to sell u'r hypothesis as theory.
Okay, I do want to get rid of my rear drum brakes on my Civic for disc brakes. Right now, I don't know where to begin on getting this done. I can see that you've posted some info on that. Now, is there a thread that you know of in the forums here that has specific instructions and a list of parts/tools that I would need to complete this project?
From your posting, I know to get rear disc set from a 90-93 Integra as the donor car and the rear trailing arms. Other than that, I don't know what to do or where to begin. I'm still pretty much a novice at this sorta of thing.

You just listed an ITR. Go buy one of those and you can leave it stock!
