New Eagle GT's! (and a badly needed alignment)


Ceramic Tint!


[hijack]
Why did the brake job I did a year ago turn out so poorly? I'm getting a bunch of vibration out of the front right rotor pictured here:



So the back story is that I got this '07 civic si used and it came with 4 ECB rotors and pads which I installed. What caused this buildup of gunk? Not bedding the pads/rotors in (which I did not do), not changing the brake fluid/bleeding (which I did not do), the horrible alignment (which I fixed!)?

More importantly what's the game plan to get me where I need to be? New rotors and pads all around, or can I get away with new rotors up front and 4 new sets of pads? Are my calipers junk/in need of some lube?

Its a 2007 FA5

Where'd you purchase said flashpro? I've got an 07 as well with a SRI as the only mod and have been considering grabbing one.

The biggest to do is fixing the girl friend's civic's AC. I think the pressure switch or the clutch is dicked. Haven't figured out which yet.

Going to guess clutch coil. My 07 and a buddies 08 both started intermittent failure this season and I think a weakened coil is the culprit.

Im having similar issues as well with my 07 si. What did a clutch coil replacement end up costing you?

e: maybe I misread, and you havent fixed/had it fixed yet

Coil set is $75 on majestic. I'm currently sweating my balls off, intermittently of course. It looks like the job can be done in a few hours, but as you know it's tight in there (also have an si). Having done the idler pully and the water pump twice (ugh), I might consider changing the clutch set as well. With my luck the bearing will go out the following week...
