lol, funny, what were you using to heat it up?

I didn't do it............. my DAD is the one who did, and it was a propane torch.

i see......blame your Dad j/k its all good, no really a propane tourch is good, but theres a fine line to get it heated up and start to melt it together. good luck

so have you figured out you plan on those gsr brakes yet?

 

[VTECPOWER]

no, seriously, i wouldnt trust myself with a torch, i'm already big enough on bein a pyro, but i will get those gsr brakes probably from HMO in like mid june, along with my swap and such.

Yea that might me ok, BUT, they don't have any in stock, and they haven't for quite a few months, ive checked time and time again.

Oh, by the way, earlier tonight I talked to a guy that works at a honda place in northern virginia, and he told me that the gsr ebrake cables will work, because they are the ones for the calipers, he is the parts manager at a honda dealership.

those are not the bigger gsr brakes your looking for, they are the jdm civic rear disk brakes, they are still good, but recommend the gsr ones for better braking,

Yea, also he said if i needed any honda oem parts he could get them for me, but with his discount, haha, lastnight i sold him my stock headlights and tail lights, which is how i got this info, but really the only way to tell if they work, is trial and error. Still savin for the swap.....
