Yeah, problem is that I don't have the calipers at the moment, and the bearings had been removed in the past. I've gave it a shot in the spirit of discovery, so will see if they're right... Fingers crossed.

Just noticed that same thread says that mazda use them in the miata brakes too @Dave

Positive sign is I've just came across a thread via a picture on Google pics, which references the same sizes for brake calipers on a Nissan 300z https://z31performance.com/forum/z31-repairs-forums/engine-mechanical/8685-rear-caliper-e-brake-bearing-fixed-updated-pics

Yeah, that's a good idea as well. I'd rather get them done properly so I don't have to keep changing calipers every couple of years.

Welcome back by the way

Good find bud... I had a good look for something like that in Google, but had no joy.

So I'm getting my calipers refurbished by a local chap who normally does Jag brakes. He's hit a bit of a brick wall with the rears, as it seems that whoever reconditioned them last used some sort of plastic sleeve instead of the needle bearings for the handbrake mechanism, which has now disintegrated (probably due to the heat of a siezed handbrake.....). Now, honda don't seem to sell (or even list a part number) for the needle roller bearings, and trawling through the Internet seems to confirm this. What I'm trying to find out is what is used when calipers are remanufactured - any chance that anyone knows? I've seen on a forum in America that someone found a brass sleeve in their remanufactured ones for a teg. Obviously why they don't tend to last as long as the original ones.

Hi mate, vti looks nice and clean

Cool. I bet that's loads of fun

Looking sweet mate!

That's mint with the power boost button

Sorry, I meant the old ones in your project thread, the one in your post is working fine

Shaping up to be a good competition this month already I've dropped the links to the project threads in the posts above. @mae-civic I don't know if it's just my phone, but it looks like you old photos aren't loading anymore.

That's useful to me as well bud, didn't think of checking the service manual... Just been looking at exploded parts diagrams

Sure I saw dc2 ones on ebay this week...

I've been in touch with goodridge as I've seen that they have started doing fuel lines, but just for golfs at the minute : https://www.goodridge.co.uk/products/car-fuel-line-kit-for-vw-golf-mk2-gti-8v-fuel-injection Looks like it's all the ones in the engine bay..

All of them to be honest Jake. I need to replace the ones for the charcoal canister, and all of the ones from the tank, I got a feed line from honda, but the small section from the tank to the feed line is discontinued as well. I'm a bit in the dark about how many and what lines need changing, so I'm going to have to go and visit the old girl at the garage to get my head round it.

This is one of the things I've been looking at http://www.jbtuned.com/products/jbtuned-eg-ek-civic-dc-integra-full-tucked-fuel-system.html

No idea mate, that's one of the things I'm trying to find out. The advert says it replaces at hard fuel lines, from the tank forward, and in the engine bay. If not it'll have to be custom hard lines for those. I guess the pipes cheap enough, but the it's figuring out which of the millions of fittings I need. If I go down the hard line route, then not much point in going braided for the others, other than style and "lifetime warranty". I'll be sure to post the solution when I get there.

Yeah, trying to go down the route of braided for as many of the fuel lines as I can, but it's all a bit baffling to be honest I've been in touch with a few companies today, so hopefully I'll get sorted. Seen a few places in the states that do full kits, but would prefer UK if I can.

That's a damn good idea mate. I even checked for a teg, but that's the same. Check out the amount of "discontinued" on this list https://www.parts-honda.uk/honda-cars/CIVIC-AERODECK/1999/VTI/ELECTRICAL-EQUIPMENTS-EXHAUST-HEATER/FUEL-PIPE/17S1E01/B__0400/3/8454

Only k swap I can think of off hand was @DAVEMB2 with his k24 beast

Hi all. Just wondering if anyone has swapped the hoses for the fuel evap canister for braided? I need to swap mine, but honda don't sell them anymore. Cheers

Bloody hell! Makes no sense
