that's like a bit over $200? used prides seem to be dirt cheap over there. not too many engine swaps. SX is 4 door hatch? 13" wheels? you mean there was NO air filter in it? howz come you said brakes instead of binders?

You should not be grinding on any of the brake parts, it sounds like you didnt reset the adjusters!
