  1. Civic Rear Caliper Disassembly

    I used the torx on the epb but if i want the piston to go in i have ti turn it whilei push
  2. Civic Rear Caliper Disassembly

    Surprisingly I had no leaks, i guess the o-ring does a good job at sealing the piston surface from the outside.
  3. Civic Rear Caliper Disassembly

    I took your guide and made a video ;)
  4. Rear brake piston not retracting

    They look like a good product butā€¦. $102 shipped to Italy šŸ˜…
  5. Rear brake piston not retracting

    Do you have a link or image of the bishings you got?
  6. Rear brake piston not retracting

    The two you unscrew to remove the actual caliper? Then yes, i took them out the rubber housings, sprayed degreaser inside the housings and stuck a rag through them, and ā€œflossedā€ them, then applied fresh teflon grease inside. I was so desperate i also applied antisieze on the part of the caliper...
  7. Brakes are making noise

    Check the pads, they could be worn and/or you could have a sticking caliperā€¦ try to determine what wheel itā€™s coming from
  8. Any headlight installation wizard? Civic Hatchback 10th gen

    Oh cool, so you shouldnā€™t have any issues with the leveling systemā€¦ yeah aligning them might be a pain in the ass but once you get them right youā€™re good ;)
  9. Any headlight installation wizard? Civic Hatchback 10th gen

    Just out of curiosity, do you have full LED lights in front? If so, they should be self leveling, how would these new ones behave? Just like any halogen lamp i guess, with the adjustments to be done manually (i see the two white places where to adjust the position)
  10. Rear brake piston not retracting

    Iā€™ve had my rear right brake grinding on the disk for some time now, I just replaced the pads as they were completely worn down, the left side is basically new. Yesterday far the milionth time i dissasembled the caliper to put new pads in, and did the following: removed wire to the ebrake...
  11. Civic Rear Caliper Disassembly

    Hey guys, i started having brake caliper issues some months ago: my rear passenger side caliper doesnā€™t fully open back up when i break, dragging the brakes and wearing down my pads fast. I never took the caliper off the car but i cleaned the pins and the pad bracket, greased the pins, sanded...
  12. GAS LPG on 1.5T?

    Hey everyone, I finally got my LPG installation done! It's a Prins LPG system, the tank is a 49L (max fill at 80% to allow expansion still gives me approx 40L). I just got the car two days ago so can't really tell what mileage i'm getting. As for performance, well... it's LPG, what do you...
  13. Metallic grinding noise

    Hey, I have the same sound, not continuos, just starts and stops randomly, it does follow the car's speed, at lower speeds its lower pitched, as I pick up speed it gets higher pitched, braking or accelerating does not make it go away. It just starts/stops randomly, cannot find a way to make it...
  14. MAPerformance Civic SI 1.5T PCV System & Catch Can Testing/Observations

    I donā€™t know. I bought the can, installed it and removed it due to rattling noises. Fixed the issue a few months later and reinstalled it. Tested it for a few weeks (maybe 1k mi) and opened it up... well there was more fluid than i was hoping for. Which is why I donā€™t understand if itā€™s doing...
  15. MAPerformance Civic SI 1.5T PCV System & Catch Can Testing/Observations

    Well, since one of the two filters you can actually clean in a matter of minutes, i guess yes. Ok, there is a bit of an initial expense but imo it might be worth it. Worst case scenario you just spent a fraction of the carā€™s value for peace of mind.
  16. MAPerformance Civic SI 1.5T PCV System & Catch Can Testing/Observations

    Iā€™m just wondering at what point the original baffles are too old/dirty to continue performing like they are supposed to considering there is no way to easily perform maintenance. Like an oil filter, sure filters good the firt couple thousand miles and you could probably never change it but at...
  17. MAPerformance Civic SI 1.5T PCV System & Catch Can Testing/Observations

    so itā€™s doing what the engine baffles arenā€™t able to, making it a useful addition. Or am i missing something else?
  18. Strange idle/acceleration noise

    The baffle was the thing that was making the noise, just welded it to the post and now all is good. just because a company stops R&D on a product does not necessarily mean the project is useless, i could be for a large amount of reasons... (budget cuts, low ROI, etc.)
  19. MAPerformance Civic SI 1.5T PCV System & Catch Can Testing/Observations

    So if I were to use a catch can and after say 6k miles find a few ml of fluid in it, what would that say? The baffles basically ā€œcondenseā€ the oil vapors, but where does the liquid go after that?
