I just found this build https://typeaccord.co.uk/board/threads/apw-engineering-cl9-track-build.20743/, does anybody know what brake master cylinder he's using?

Small update, it hasn't happened for the past few days but it was pretty warm, which if it were a fuel/temperature related issue wouldn't appear I suppose.

Hello good people, I've been having a problem lately where I start the car in 2-3days and while on high idle 1600rpm it fluctuates. I've barely visible on the dash but you could clearly hear them engine's idle going up and down. That goes away when the idle goes down sub 1200ish. The I park it...

I'm gonna install CRV 23.81mm master cylinder it has the same fittings as the Accord, the Legend also uses 23.81, should be enough.

BTW is there a difference between the Acura RL and the Honda Legend caliper, both are made by Advics and do I absolutely need a bigger brake master cylinder, the stock one is 20.64m, some CRV's have 23.81m and some 25.4m?

I do wash my car relatively often so corrosion might not be too bad supposedly 6061 is resistant to corrosion so should be good to, I'll probably buy a pair and maybe make a steel version. Thanks for the input, mlkehint!

Hello so after buying the twin piston caliper I decided I want to be cooler with 4 piston calipers and I bought Acura RL calipers but the only adapters I can find are made from 6061 aluminum, I preferred them to be steel and my question is there any strength concern of the alloy adapters failing...

Lately I've done the front main 3 times, hope this time it's fixed, did new pistons on the rear calipers and pads, Tein coilovers and some rust repair due to previous accident damage or something done incorrectly.

Thanks a lot I guess they will be for sale. I'll post when the Cardone carriers arrive.

Do you know if the rears from the Accord V6 are better than the OEM and fit?

Hello guys I bought Accord V6 twin piston calipers. Can anyone confirm that the Legend KA9 caliper carriers for 300mm disc will fit cause they appear as single piston for the 300x28 and twin piston for the 282x28? Or do I just buy Cardone 14-1416 brackets? Thanks in advance.

Small update on the above post, when bottoming out while the car was loaded the metal dust cover cup would hit the shock, now cut in half seems to have cured the situation, anyone else had bottoming out problems with H&R springs on sedans?

Hello, I recently installed H&H lowering springs on my CL9 2.4 and there is a hard knocking sound like it's bottoming out and hitting sth in the back when there are 2 or more people in the car or the boot is full. Anyone had similar issues?

Hello guys, Yesterday I bypassed the idle air ***ist valve that helps heat up the cat during cold starts but since then the exhaust smells more of petrol than it used to which is expected but is it in any way harmful to the engine or the oil getting contaminated etc, I wanted to bypass it as...
