    Big loud Thuds while braking (scary) :(

    I'll be watching this thread. Had this a couple of times now intermittently. It is scary but I've never found anything wrong...well, bar forgetting to tighten the wheel nuts when I did the discs. :rolleyes: But, it’s still happening after I’d (Newannaive) sorted that.

    Why is ** censored?

    Spec 4 doesn't look as good as Spec IV when moaning about my rattly baffles. :(

    Grooved discs and Red Stuff pads - problem, knocking

    'Utter chap!' doesn't quite put my point across on this occasion. :lol:

    Best suited to the EP3 IMO; love mine! I was gutted when I didn't get my finger out and buy these off you in the first place.

    30AE - Tein SS and Spoon Mani

    Really not a fan of the NHB, P1's and mugen wing combo! ;) :lol: It's a minter mate; obviously love the way your car looks. :cool:

    Grooved discs and Red Stuff pads - problem, knocking

    Yeah, those bits where a PITA to get in! Probably it then; get them out and file all the thick red paint off. :cool:

    Grooved discs and Red Stuff pads - problem, knocking

    O right. What benefit would that have? I've fitted the shims that come on the OEM pads anyway. Presume it just reduces pad width?

    Grooved discs and Red Stuff pads - problem, knocking

    Cheers. :) They're chamferred on the leading edge; which part did you mean to file? Toe-in of the pad. Used to have it on bikes to stabilise the disc before applying braking pressure. Don't know if the same applies to cars TBH. Thinking I might swap the direction round.

    Grooved discs and Red Stuff pads - problem, knocking

    I fitted some new grooved discs and EBC Red Stuff pads from a group buy at the weekend. All was fine and dandy, bedding in nicely until I had a long drive to work yesterday. They began knocking very badly at low speeds; traffic crawling speed. As if the pads were catching every groove...

    What's in your Civic?

    My OEM airbox and manifold cover screws in the ash tray. £5 at the back of my furry pocket. Loads of crap in my car; dread to think whats lurking in the boot.

    Spec IV baffles - repack/replace

    Any idea what the bore is on the Spoon B-Pipe? Supersprint unsilenced is 2" but thought the BC exhausts were 2.5"?

    Spec IV baffles - repack/replace

    :lol: **** the bed! :eek:

    Spec IV baffles - repack/replace

    Haven't heard of them; some JDM rarity? It's a gutting feeling; mine's actually folded over slightly. Hit it so hard in a multi-storey the other day it snapped the springs off as it pulled the silencer and b-pipe apart. :eek:
