Roj Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Congrats on the fresh ticket! Stat is easy enough to change yourself, only three bolts mate! Bleeding the coolant after is the part that takes longest! What prompted you change the master cylinder? Thanks! Yeah the bleeding is why I'd like a garage to do it. Pay a bit more for a proper job. The brakes have always felt a little spongy and it's been getting worse, so with Japfest2 coming up I wanted to get it fixed before I got on track.

Krzys Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Ah right, might have to look into that myself if the pedal feel doesn't improve to a point I'm happy with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roj Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 If bleeding doesn't help it's probably the master. Also now that I don't have to rush to buy a thermostat, do you think I should get this low-temp one from Americaland? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-B16-B18-ENGINE-GATES-RACING-LOW-TEMP-THERMOSTAT-/260711197434?_trksid=p2054897.l4275 I figure I could just buy a new one and get the same garage to fit it, instead of trying to find a garage that'll touch a used part.

Krzys Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 That's cheap enough mate and if you can wait then go for it.Where did you get the master cylinder from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roj Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 I'll try fitting this one I have already first. No point buying it and not using it. Adam on the FB group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roj Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Found some stone-chipping on my grill and rear trim today. I knew it was going to happen sooner or later, so now it's time to wrap them both in carbon wrap! And whilst I'm at it I might as well do the rub strips too! So a question to anyone who's wrapped their M: What size roll should I buy? 4 meters? 5? I want to do the rear bumper (which is the longest piece) in one piece to keep the carbon weave going.
