Car of the month now live! Apply now!

Dear member, as you can see we’ve been getting our stuff together and refreshing most aspects of the site.

I’m pleased to announce that this includes “Car of the month” Cool

It’s been absent for, well, for absolutely ages. Many registered interest with me to have their car as COTM and until now I could not fulfil your wishes.

Well! Wait no longer! Those that applied before can still consider themselves under consideration.

Any new applications please don’t hesitate to contact me.

For the meantime go check out the car of the month section to see the kind of info I need from you. While you are there don’t forget to appreciate the first car of the month – Ross “the owl” NHB beauty! Certainly a lot of work done to it and worthy of the COTM title!

Superbully (Mark)

How to bed in Ferodo brake pads

Original thread here: http://www.civictype-r.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=162855

Author: evilowl

As we seem to have lots of people moaning about squeaky brakes, the normal cause is incorrectly bedding them in after fitting. This must be followed to get the best life, the best performance and least squeal from your new pads.

As soon as they have been fitted go and find some quiet country lanes, you don’t want to be doing brake tests with other traffic about.

BEDDING-IN INSTRUCTIONS
To achieve optimum performance from Ferodo Racing brake pads please follow the instructions below:

1) Perform 25 to 30 trial brake applications, each of approximately 4 seconds, using around 50% of normal race pedal pressure. To shorten the procedure applications can be made along the straights as well as through bends.

2) On completion of trial applications return to the pit lane. Inspect the surface of the brake pads from the two wheels which have been working the hardest. There should be evidence of contact over the full pad area but without glazing. The pads are now ready to race.

Whilst we recommend that pads are inspected, if time does not allow this, assuming procedure (1) has been carried out and a short period of time has elapsed to allow the brake system to cool, the pads will be ready to race.

IMPORTANT: to optimize the performance and life of both brake pads and discs, during the bedding-in period heat in the braking system should be built up progressively.

PAD WEAR INSPECTION: brake pads must have at least 2mm of friction material. Excessively worn brake pads must be replaced.

THERMAL PAINT TEMPERATURE CHECK; Where this procedure is used and braking performance is not considered satisfactory: if none of the 3 paints has changed appearance it may be necessary to reduce cooling to the discs. If all 3 paints have changed appearance, it may be necessary to increase cooling to the discs.

As these are instructions for bedding them in on a racetrack, on the road build your speed up to around 50 or 60 mph and (check your mirrors first obviously) gently apply the brakes for around 4 seconds instead. Get the car back up to 50 or 60 and do it again, and keep doing it until you get through all 25 or 30 cycles. Remember it’s not rapid acceleration and deceleration you need, just build heat into the brakes steadily. Park up for a bit and let them cool down for 10 minutes, Then you can go out and give them a good hammering :thumbup:

Refurbishing wheels

Original thread: http://www.civictype-r.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=112&t=155930

Author: Type R me

After alot of time (since i bought her) the shoes were flip 😮 bubbled and kurbed and faded and i added a whole kurbed wheel to the collection!

So after much research and pondering i thought flip it ill do it and have a crack at it myself as ive got till monday off still and the misses is just sitting studying for her last few exams for uni and iam just sitting on my arse :lol: …………

This is the kit you need also so 80,240 and 1200 grade sandpaper.
Image
Wheels before:
Image
Image
Image
Wheels sanded all down with 80 first,then soapy water+240 after:
Image
Wash thoroughly:(found suger soap is good)
Image
Mask off:
Image
Image
Then 1 coat of primer at a time (3 in total):
Image
Image
Image

Right well ive been looking on the site and other places for what colour to go for on the wheels and to be honest i really wanted white but it looked :ymca: and dark wheels do look good on the sliver so,………….

looked at black wheels and to be honest i thought they looked a bit dripspeed (ripseep) off the shelf jobbie so went for honda graphite gray and the pics RLY RLY dont do them any justice cause it was done with a mob camara so shall take pics of them 2moro on car with a decent camara :thumbup:

But the wheel that was WELL flip (kurbed) came out a blinking treat :WOOT

I could not belive how well it work!!
but it is so so true the more effort put into the prep shows in the end product!!!

So for something that would of cost £220+ has cost me £35 and 2days work in no rush

Iam over the moon!!!!
(also found out the civic wheels are eneki’s!)
going to get some coloured wheel nuts tho……………

what colour peps???
red blue ….ect ect?

Image
Image
Image

oh ya sorry forgot to add the instructions………..

once you have let the primer dry for 24 hours wet sand with 1000 grit paper wash and dry again or you can wipe it dry but for best result wash it!

After this you can start painting :thumbup:

One coat a time 3 coats in total with the paint you decided on :wink:

Then allow 20mins to dry till tacky then its time to crack open the tin of lacquer!

This is exactly same as the paint,
3 coats with 10min gap between sparys then FINISHED :WOOT

you can leave for 24 hours or use a hair dryer on it for 30 mins and leave for 8 hours but i would leave it if you can!!!

Then make cuppa T or beer :thumbup: stand back and enjoy your handy work and shiney new none kurbed alloys 🙂
