I was going to construct a pressure bleeder, but ended up just pedal pumping it. The new fluid was a different colour from what was in the car, so it was relatively easy to see when each line was refreshed. In fact I would have had no idea how much to pump through if it had been the same colour.

Is that Red Rubber grease?

So the binding brake faerie caught up with my car. I Installed new rear discs, new pads, pushed the pistons back in etc, but when I went for a drive I found that the right side rear wheel was about a million degrees and gave off that commuter-train-pulling-in-at-the-station smell. Pulled it...

Reading this left me worried about not knowing the age of my brake fluid, so I changed mine today.

I can't find it now (sorry) by I have seen a complete guide showing how to strip the seats to inspect the heating wires. I can't remember which website it was on but I am pretty sure it was one of the Honda forums, perhaps one of the US ones. What I do remember is that the leather on the...

I'm running these: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001108798936.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.7e6c4c4dZVE1hB They fit, the car goes, and I change the filter every oil change. I usually find a bit of dirt, some leaves and occasionally a small possum trapped in the old filter. The only filter...

Ah yeah, occasionally I get tailgated by people in other Hondas, having a good look, or just being puzzled. The Honda club in NSW is dead, and apart from a few facebook groups there's not much of a community. I might join the Victoria club now you've made me aware of it.

If you watch Mightycarmods you've probably seen this guy from Haltech performing engine tunes. Here he is talking about why the K24 is a well built engine engineering wise, and a popular base for performance tunes.

Welcome. I have a CN2 here in Sydney, brought over by some English dude under the very narrow import opportunity you will also have when you return. There are a few Japanese import CM2's in AU, but not sure if the manual was an option. The real prize is would be a CM3. When you return...

Does anyone know which parts inside the ABS unit usually fail or wear out? Here is how it works:

+1 for cleaning earth terminals. I've worked on a lot of old cars with smaller charging systems and installing an additional earth lead to starter motor mount bolt always resulted in better starting and brighter lights.

Thanks for the info. I did see the Ebay offerings, but the images on Aliexpress looked identical to me so I bought from there - and ended up with a poor quality rubber. I will look a bit closer and buy from an ebay dealer next time. Quite often stuff on Ebay and Aliexpress is identical. But you...

Yes that. No auto stores in AU sell just the rubber. Everything I found that sold as a "refill" had a metal or plastic backing holding the rubber, or was a complete arm. I had to look online and the only place I could find was with crappy cheap rubber that refused to flop properly and had the...

Where did you find the rubber insert?

Open it up and see is there are any codes, brand names or version numbers on the circuit board. Also get the codes of any IC's (the larger the better) on the board.

Can you describe a bit more? Is it irregular or is there some sort of pattern / cadence to the sound? Can you feel it in the steering wheels, seat or pedals? Does it change in corners or bends? can you feel it upon acceleration? Apart from steering/ suspension, it could be driveshaft (cv...

Not sure what you mean with "lazy research". The reduced sections *are* the research and if at the end lowering limits don't lower local NOX levels, the results will show that. Freeways, and the reason they exist are boring. They reason they are built (at monumental expense) is to get X...

When I couldn't find one for my new manifold I took my inspiration from NASA. Mineral wool + heavy duty alfoil +the chopped up old heat shield. It is extremely effective.

Define "warm" :-D The MPG indication has a bit of variation. I can't get a standard error out of it. The MPG can be "dragged up" by coasting in gear with no throttle at every opportunity - towards red lights, going downhill, etc. but the error rate seems to also increase. I have managed to...

I have done this. Replaced the rubber in Bosch Aeroblades with rubber I found on Aliexpress. It wasn't difficult. The end cover clips off the ***embly and the whole thing slides out as 2 spring blades and the rubber. But the rubber blades were crap. It made horrible wipers. I haven't been...
