FINALLY I got around to fixing my Brakes, HOPE YOU LIKE THEM
After waiting a approximately a month my Brake Disc Rotors finally arrived, along with my new Calliper rebuild kit and Ferodos DS2500, and seeing as it was a long bank holiday weekend what a great time to start stripping them ( and a good job it was a LONG weekend “it was needed”)
First off all I stripped the callipers removed the old rusty and seized pistons, removed bleed nipples and old seals then washed and degreased the callipers and using a scribe cleaned the groves were the seals sit, and then painted them.
After that I then started on replacing the seals, first of all the square cut seal went in nicely no dramas, then the dust seals took a few attempts, then after a few YouTube videos I saw a technique and did it work, NO! ha ha I struggled like a pig trying to get the seals to seat properly in the calliper and every time I seated them in the calliper first I couldn’t get the piston over, but after many many many hours in the rain and countless swear words I finally got them in ha ha,
(I have been dying to post this part) the next stage was to replace the disc simple enough I removed the brake carrier, then removed the passengers disc no problem go around to the driver’s side seized solid, more effing and blinding, but finally removed it,
Here is my new Disc what do you guys think, I have only every seen this on one other car and that’s a seat, I have had so many compliments on them I think they look amazing,
Old VS New
Disc and callipers fitted (left the pads out purely for the photos)
Finally fully fitted and back together (needs a clean)
Love that #teamjordan sticker, I have written RIP Jack on this picture, as that sticker is for him and he actually passed away the day I fitted these disc he was a friend of mine only 23 and died of Leukaemia, some of you guys might of seen things on Facebook and in the papers about him as he got married 2 week prior and Edd Sheran video called him and stuff, his Facebook page went pretty Viral, anyways RIP mate, he was a big Honda Fan as well,

Another update, I have wanted the HKS Hi-Power Exhaust for a long time now, couldn’t justify spending the money one, anyways one come up for sale for £300 which I thought was a little expensive, but the guy selling it was also after Broken Gearboxes so I offered him my Broken Gear box and £200 and a deal was made,
Condition was average, centre section was a little scratched, and the back box dirty, but I cleaned it up lovely and fitted,
Here is a pic of the back box before and after I cleaned it
And a few fitted

Last update of the day, not a very interesting update, but I ordered brand new front and Rear drop links, nothing special there MYELE HD drop links, I asked a guy on here and he said they were very good OEM Replacement, I have only Replaced the Front as the Rears are still fine and like most 11 year old Bolts underneath a car they were seized to hell, nothing an angle grinder couldn’t handle
There will be a few more update within the next few weeks, next weekend, if there is time I am having my 2.5” stainless steel centre section, fabricated to fit the HKS HI-power and also the studs drilled out on the cat and replaced with a nut and bold because I stripped the threads on 2 of the studs, also my car will be going in for a service, nothing too exciting ha ha
FUTURE MODS
