Installed my Ultracapacitor booster pack. Its made from 6 2.7v 350farad capacitors, complete with balancing and LED circuit.

Its on ebay for about $98 shipped.

MASSIVE difference in startup and in how the subwoofer setup sounds.

I highly suggest this to anyone who is running a smaller car audio battery like I was, for weight. total weight between the SVR 20Ah battery and capacitor pack is under 20 pounds and in theory has over 800 cold cranking amps at 12 volts

That's the second rear disc conversion I've seen on this thread. If anyone has a parts list/how to, that would be cool. I'd love to change to rear discs when the drums are done.

My rear disc conversion was simple. My buddy found a jdm rear axle and it's all bolt on. Simply take out old and put in new. Done.

Hey Spry check out my rear conversion at the end on this thread
https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...ersion-14.html

Lots of info in there part numbers ect... I need to post how I dealt with thee brake setup still but my conversion is completed. Calipers from Japanese FIT RS custom brackets and lines and brake cables i think they were from 02 accord but don't quote me there that just off top of my head.

If I can get a JDM rear axle I'll be all over it. That thread is a great help.

Got a new windshield. I'd post a picture, but it looks pretty much like the old windshield...except for the lack of a crack working across it.

It's nice that the glass place is pretty close to a decent diner. Tasty french toast for breakfast while waiting for the work to be done is a bit of recompense for the annoyance.
