pye Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Hi guys,After some back and forth I have decided then rather dump my money in a rusty integra im gonna make the best use of mine clean mc2 and have something a little different.Ive drawn up a list of mods that I plan to keep busy with over the next few months and would welcome any thoughts feedback from any one.So far the car is pretty much standard. I have a BMC direct feed induction kit, 14mm rear anti roll bar, and lowered on koni strt suspension kit and an ITR steering wheel.This week I will be upgrading brakes to OMP pads grooved discs and braided hoses ready for MOT. Which should make a decent difference over the stockers.My wish list is as follows:ITR manifold (stainless), decat and custom cat back system.Aircon out, rear seats out, spare wheel replaced with tyre foam.fixed buckets up frontITR cams & pistons plus necessary bits for swop.Re map16 inch wheels, something lite, sprint copies of 98 spec teg wheels are the favourites at the moment.The aim is to go for a very touring car influence.Due to budget it will be a bit at a time as funds allow but would love to get peoples thoughts on whether the gains are worth it? experiences theyve had etc...Open to all opinionsCheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pye Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 Right,Spent all Monday with a mate doing the brakes on the 'deck...Grooved disks, OMP pads, and braided hoses up frontMintex discs and pads at rear, standard hoses.Problem is now I have very spongy brakes with far to much travel in the pedal. I have had them fully bled with correct fluid etc. I cant get the pedal to go solid after pumping... although it does get harder Handbrake seems to bite fine, Its been suggested that it may be the master cylinder, however the brakes felt fine before changing everything.Has any one had a similar problem? or does anybody have any other thoughts ?any help would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
