- Fri May 16, 2008 8:48 pm #55667 well had these awhile so went to fit these tonight-


started on drivers side but had a problem -
snapage!!


as you can see it snapped just above the joint when i was undoing the joinning connector things-
will be going to wilcos tommorrow to get some more brand new brake lines and a brake line tool (to flare the ends)

another quick pic of the old crappy brake line of the car -


so after tommorrow my car will have Goodridge braided hoses and brand new copper brake lines [/img]

- Fri May 16, 2008 9:31 pm #55671 How much did they set you back? Mine are rusted.

- Fri May 16, 2008 9:51 pm #55676 the braided hoses were about £40 off a shop on ebay.

upgrading from the normal crappy rubber hoses to braided hoses helps and improves brakeing loads!

- Sat May 17, 2008 2:27 pm #55725 well went out this morning an bought these-

brake flaring kit and new copper brake lines (and some male adaptors)

first end of new front brake line flared-


alittle while later-
first side on


and other side front-


so thats that done (will be doing rears tommorrow/next weekend)

and a quick engine bay shot-


went for a quick drive and brakes are fine - although car is running bad. missfiring through the rev range and when vtecs about to kick in she missfires and backfires badly!!!

- Sat May 17, 2008 3:29 pm #55727 do a compression test dude.

i had bad miss fires through out the re range on my old civic... did a compression test and it wasnt good. i had 4 bent valves

94 civic sedan, got camber?

- Sat May 17, 2008 3:47 pm #55729 shit no way!!

how do you do a compression test??

- Sat May 17, 2008 3:56 pm #55730 its a special tool that you pull into the spark plug hole. when its in there you crank the car over 4 or 5 times then the tool reads what PSI is in each cylinder.

for B-series engines i think its about 180 to 210 psi per cylinder.

- Sat May 17, 2008 4:05 pm #55731 right ok-

any idea where i can get one of the tools?

bloody hope its not that tbh - no job, no money an maybe no car

the car seems to start weird, as in not very well. once its ticking over its fine on idle, then when yo get going its not too good! its mainly the vtec thing thats worrying me.....

was going to try new plugs and leads but you got me worried now

- Sat May 17, 2008 6:55 pm #55746 lol. sorry dude, do the plugs and leads first... see how that goes. have you checked the dizzy cap?

you'll be able to get one of them tools at any motor factors for about a 10'er.

also, have you check for fault codes?

- Sat May 17, 2008 8:21 pm #55758 ill be getting new plugs and leads in the next couple of days.

how do you do the paper clip thing? you just join the 2 green plugs under the dash (passenger side)

dont you?

- Sat May 17, 2008 9:39 pm #55765 Ah man this sucks, I hope you get it sorted and running sweet as soon as. Nice brake lines, I so need / want a set. Keep the pics comming.

there should be 2 plugs coming off your ecu... 1 has about 6 connectors and 1 has just 2 connectors.

you want to bridge the plug with 2 connectors.

- Sun May 18, 2008 5:05 pm #55852 well some GOOD NEWS - the missfire issue is sorted!

went to wilco again this morning and got 4 new NGK spark pugs and some new ignition leads. put them all on and hey presto shes running loads better!
was quite funny actually - i put all the bits on the car down this quiet road near my house - then put my foot down in 1st to see if vtec engaged properly -an it did - an it actually made me jump lol i was like fuck, that felt quick

(will be replacing the leads with magnecore ones when i got some money though as the leads i got this morning are cheapos - i think ive actually seen chow mein noodles thicker lol, but they work which is the main thing)

- Sun May 18, 2008 5:28 pm #55854 glad to hear it
