Have been very busy with work and getting my TrailBlazer SS running.
Here is a little update. Took the entire front suspension part, cleaned, and painted everything separately.
New tie rods, control arms, bushings, and 27.5mm T-Bars.

Will the prelude 90 master cylinder bolt on to the stock civic brake booster?

Will the prelude 90 master cylinder bolt on to the stock civic brake booster?

 

The 90 Prelude MC will not bolt directly to the stock booster. It is larger in diameter and has a different seal.

 

Here is the stock booster with the 85 Prelude dual carb MC. The stock MC is the same style.

 As you can see the MC has an O-Ring and you can see into the booster.

 

Here is a pic of the 90 Civic booster, 90 Prelude MC, and the 87 Civic spacer.

In this pic you can see the seal is different on the MC and the booster has a flange for the seal to sit against.

More great work. I am excited to see what happens with the twin pots, I would consider this if it all works out right.

You said Integra Discs are required but on the other side you write you will use 11" VW discs. 
How will this fit without no mods?

You can bolt these straight up to our cars with the use of Integra rotors, with no mods.

 

I will be using the Fast Brakes kit to run the VW rotors. This kit comes with two mounting brackets, two rotor hub centric rings, and all necessary hardware.

Here is a file photo of the bracket kit.

What size do the integra rotors have?

What size do the integra rotors have?

 

The Integra uses a 9.5in/241mm rotor.

 

In this pic you can see the size difference in the rotors.

The first is from a 1300cc Civic, the second is the Integra's, and the third is the VW.

Finally back at it.

I managed to install the front and rear suspension this week.

 

Here is the front. 1300cc Sub frame and Rack, Si Sway bar, new bushing, control arms, and tie rods.

 

The rear suspension is in thanks to CheddaJ.

Integra axle, Bilstien shocks, 2.5in coils, coil seats, and adjustable panhard bar.

 

 

I test fitted the wheels to see how they fit. The are 16x7 with a 38et.

 

With the suspension compressed and centered. The wheels stick out about 3mm. Hope they don't rub. I have the 1300cc axle still. May do the mod like Ballade did and narrow the axle and/or have the wheels machined. Thoughts?

Sweet freakin build man! I hope one day I can get mine as good looking as yours and some of the other ones!

I am following.

Because I think this can be a bad ass machine you got.

 

I have huge plans with mine as well. 

Just super busy with school and work and the fact that I don't have a garage, makes it twice as hard.

where did you find the CA3 calipers?  If I understood what I read correctly only the JDM Accord had the twin piston calipers.  Is that right?

I picked them up from another member on here. You are correct the are a JDM item. Mine came from New Zealand.

Thank you. I'm in the military and I know what it is like to be busy with work and school. Starting next week I will be back in school for my recent promotion and I will have little to no time on the car till the 1st of the yr.

Thank you. It can be, it just takes time. I have had this car for a couple of yrs now, just collecting parts.

Electrical minus the cruise control harness is in,

Fuel lines are in,

Brake lines, master cylinder and booster are in,
