Whilst I was re-bushing the front wishbones on the 2010 Honda Civic Type R, I thought I would replace the rubber brake lines for braided ones and flush the fluid. pretty easy and straight forward job if you are mechanically apt, however the fronts could be tricky if you don't know how. Thought I should share the key items

How about over filling the complete engine with thinners or similar to the brim? for a few days, then drain the sump out to the unit, remove all the spark plug Leeds and turn the engine over to blow the crap out of the oil rings and other holes. Then thoroughly flush out the engine and re-oil it and see if it runs well recommended amo... just a thought lol
Thanks for that!
I used this stuff on a oil burning lawnmer and my quad and both have made the engine run like new for years
What model is this?
@@bullsaye7 type this description in amazon. "2G 64G Android Single Din Car Stereo with Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, Rimoody 6.86 Inch Touch Screen, Bluetooth, GPS Navigation, FM/RDS, Mirror Link, Dual USB, Backup Camera". Made by rimoody. Gone up in price a little.
Which thinner did you use, which thinner is best to use? How about STP injector cleaner, any good?
@@amber300c I used paint thinner. Cellulose. I hear gunwash is better as it also has acetone in it. However, use with caution!!! Lol!
@@ModorFix thanks 👍
Interesting that you roll it back and forth instead of turning the crank with a socket! But do you know if I can just roll it downhill in one direction instead of pushing it back and forth?
@bilokenneth yeah, I wouldn't roll it down a hill lol!
Thanks buddy ❤
Same thing happened to my march
@@capt.Justin it could be welded up if you could be bothered.
Hi im having issues installing the screen. If i have my Sony xav ax 3250 connected the air con display will not come on and if I connect the air con display the screen will not come on. Please help. Would help if you could add all parts you bought into the description of the video. Great content btw keep it up!
@@mujahidimran2714 have you got the connects loom and patch cable?
@@ModorFix yes I purchased Honda Civic 2005 - 2012 SONY Car Stereo Steering Wheel & Aerial Kit CTSHO002AA off eBay
@mujahidimran2714 just had a look at that and it's the right wiring with the patch lead. Not sure what the issue could be. If everything is wired correctly it should work the way I showed.

Hi, Dan. Have you done a video on auto-folding mirrors upon pressing a car's remote lock button? Can't find it. Cheers.
@JohnSDoe-hg1vj I have shot the footage yes. Need to get the video out. I will try get it out in the next couple of weeks.
@@ModorFix Thanks, Dan. Will be waiting.
When can we expect the video of this head unit ?
In the next couple of weeks. I haven't fitted the fascia yet, trying to source one which I can modify ;)
Hey hi have o6 cube just wander where or what side silver washer goes thanks
You should have swapped the seat rails and it would have been a cleaner job
Can you outline how you change them over for the people who see this comment, might help them :)
@@ModorFix sure... The seat is bolted to the rails, like 4 bolts. The back rest is held to the rails by 4 more bolts. Pretty straight forward job. The most important part of the procedure is to not break the plastic tabs. Once broken, you have to replace the plastic trim, there is not really a fix for that. Try not to mess with the back rest inclination while doing the job
@anunknowndude doesnt sound very straight forward lol! I guess people can choose which way to do it now. At least they have the option.
@@ModorFix it's just 8 bolts, I've done it, you just need to be careful... It's one of the simplest jobs you can do., just be careful
That foamy look to the fluid typically means there is air getting in the system somewhere. I don't think it should do that simply because the cap is off. I had an old Honda Pilot that did the same thing and had a bad whine to it and the fix was to replace some o-rings. I'm curious if that's possible on the Z32?
That was nearly 2 years ago and it works just like it should now. I think the air bubbles were introduced when I disconnected the pipe and released a load of the old fluid. When I put the new fluid in, no doubt it would have had some trapped air in there.
The S2000 badges on the wings are still available. It may be worth getting a set and then following the badge locating arrangement, critical to make it look right.
agreed, I spent ages measuring the correct placement and it has to be right (no S upside-down for starters!) LHT do a template that locates on the indicator ua-cam.com/video/7RjHHZ7S-do/v-deo.html
@@bigben5246 yes, I follow LHT videos quite a lot. Have done many enhancements to my S2000, but spent way more than yourself, however my objective is to get the car to be the best it can be
Enjoying the series. Great methodical way of going through the issues with the car.
That reminds me i need to drop episode 3!
Hey there, I’m a Toyota mechanic and this is the correct procedure for adjusting the handbrake. Good luck!!! 👍🏻👊🏻👊🏻 MR2 (RM762E) BRAKE - PARKING BRAKE LEVER PARKING BRAKE LEVER ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION Parking brake lever travel at 196 N (20 kgf, 44.1 Ibf): 5 - 8 clicks If incorrect, adjust the parking brake. 2. IF NECESSARY, ADJUST PARKING BRAKE (a) Remove the console box. (b) Loosen the lock nut and loosen the adjusting nut until the left and right parking brake cranks touch the stopper pin. (c) Start the engine and depress the brake pedal with the thread force at about 490 N (50 kgf, 110 Ibf) for 10 times. (d) Tighten the adjusting nut until the cable has no loose- ness. (e) (f) (g) (h) Pull the parking brake lever up strongly once. Release the parking brake lever. Turn the adjusting nut until the lever travel is correct. Tighten the lock nut. Torque: 5.4 N-m (55 kgf-cm, 48 in.-Ibf) (i) Release the parking brake lever and check the brake drag of the rear brake by turning the rear wheel. () Check that the left and right brake cranks touch the stopper pin under the condition in which the parking brake lever is released. (k) Check that the brake indicator light comes on when operating the parking brake lever. (1) Install the console box.
Appreciate the write up Paul. How would you measure the pressure you put on the pedal?
@@ModorFix 🤣🤣🤣 with out special tools you have to guesstimate, after watching all of the videos that people have put on here I thought I would pitch in as I’ve had problems with a customers Mr2 and as it’s not a common caliper on Toyotas as we have in board handbrake shoes normally so most of us don’t actually know about this, I’m self-employed so went back to where I used to work and spoke to the top tech there and he didn’t even know how to do it so he went on Toyotas system and sent it to me, this is copied word for word from the service bulletin 👍🏻
Looking forward to the rest of the series Dan!!
That is some insane work to retrofit Android Auto.... Thanks a lot for that. Just bought a MK8 Civic, wanting to upgrade the radio, I think I need to prepare a fair bit before I'll tackle this project. Will probably install a handsfree and a backup cam like you but this is sooo much work. Thanks for showing. Well explained!
I make these videos how I would have liked them explained to me. Sp I'm glad you find them useful 😀
Legend mate, just about to do this but was skeptical about how to turn it over at the crank. Will just rock it in 4th and hope it goes well 🙏
Out of curiosity would it be possible to swap the rails over and avoid bending and cutting
Anything is possible. But may required welding
Its the simpler opción, swap the rails and be done in a couple hours... those pegs are absolutely necessary
Hello mate, thanks for posting this video. I've recently purchased a 300ZX Twin Turbo and really want some BOV's. The usual "forums" strongly advise against it due to the MAF, then I found GFB's website and went down a slight rabbit hole. Assuming you still have them, have you had any issues since the video? And do you know the difference between MACH 2's and their normal "universal" range?
The reason people advise against BOV's is because they usually vent to the atmosphere, creating that whoosh sound everyone knows and loves. However, that lovely air that is expelled causes a mis-match in the ecu as to what the MAF registered coming in, and what is actually in the system, this causes over fuelling. With a standard MAF in place, best to get this style of BOV which re-circulates the air. That's why I went for the GFB. The stock ones recirculate, however they get weak over time and can leak too.
To answer the second part of your question, I am not sure what you mean by "normal" range. However, the main thing I can think of is that the Mach 2 has adjustment on the tension of the spring. This allows the BOV to not open early and hence hold the boost for longer until it really needs to dump
I'm very grateful for your responses! What I meant by "normal" - on the GFB website, they have a "universal" BOV listed for the 300, as well as the MACH 2. So wasn't sure if you knew what the difference was as visually, the look the exact same.
@wishybishy if you filter on 300zx it only shows the mach 2 and the deceptor. To answer your other question, it's a great bov. I have one on the 200sx too. No issues
Just coming back to this, as my 300 is now at a garage being worked on, have you got any videos of how they sound?
Made in China Too loud and not omologated for legally road use. Don't waste your money
I only used them for about 1 year and it was my wknd toy. If you plan to have these on a daily then maybe you have a point. Malian have managed to get a bad name for themselves in recent times with poorly made and fitting products. However, at the time of shooting this video, there was nothing bad to say about the products.
My display has Honda Civic where yours has the date, do you know how to change that please as I would prefer the display showing the date like yours? Thanks
not sure on that one, will have to investigate and get back to you lol! where are you located?
Does anyone sell a kit for the bolts and brackets?
Not sure there is a big enough market for it bud. I have given you all the sizes (I'm sure) in the video. Ebay is your friend 😀
Swap the seat rails, better and you dont need to buy anything
Good job bro I did the same but still my steering volume control is not working 😅
did you use the connects 2 interface withe the patch lead?
Good simple and quick video perfect 👍
Great vid thanks l ordered the replacement solenoid which is only 2 quid but my SOD doesnt have the little yellow solenoid in so this means Honda originally made the mirror without one which was crap like mine then when they realised this they replaced it with your kind which was just as crap WTF Honda. They should be ashamed and embarrassed considering all the TLC we lavish on our man toys and this is what we get.
Do you mean the resistor?? If yours doesn't have it. The SOD was probably already replaced and failed.
@@ModorFix Thanks for your reply; yes the resister if that's what the little yellow thing is lm not very electrically minded. But my question now is will the £20 replacement SOD solve my silly mirror problem which is so bad it goes all the way forward lol. Or will the unit not recognize the new part. It all looks very dusty and original in there so l dont think it has been replaced if it was it would probably have the resister in it right?
@jenseninterceptor3416 the resistor sticks out of the box if that makes sense. It was the bit I was trying to dig out. The new SOD has a resistor built in (not visible). Buy one of eBay for circa 20 quid, should be a straight swap and work perfectly.
@@ModorFix Thanks your a legend
Thanks mate. Was driving me nuts being an hour behind
How can you make it show the date instead of radio / aux?
Thank You sir
How would you manually crank the tensioner if you have the smt trans?
Thank you!
Done it today, time consuming but extremely satisfiyng :D Thanks mate!
Hi, I've recently purchased a 300ZX and agree the original lights are shocking. I've been looking at HID conversion kits. Can you confirm what bulbs you have? As I'd like to look into some differences.
Pretty sure they are H3 LED bulbs. Mine are from a company called Novsight. No issues so far.
Hey man I need help !!! How did u keep your clock aircon display working with a aftermarket headunit ? I just installed a aftermarket headunit and now my clock aircon display isn't working
You need the patch lead to make it all work.
Do you have to wire it in if u still have the cig plug there
Yes but it would be quite easy if you know what you are doing. Just tap in to the +/- wires on the existing socket
Thank you, awesome! I was looking from that from years
Hi mate. Any issues with MOT? Cheers
Nope. They flash yellow. Thats all the MOT requires. And they are still going strong fyi.
@@ModorFixThat's a great news. One of my repeaters died and I need to get a replacement. For £15 these are cheap as chips. Thank you, have a good one!
Before doing this. Jack rear of car up. Check rear pads for wear. If worn, replace. Undo lower caliper bolt. Swing caliper up and wind brake piston in. Replace bolt in caliper and replace wheel. Repeat on other side. This helps to keep brake balance even.
Hi . Could you send a link of the android stereo you have installed so I can buy same one ? As I have same car . Thanks
It's a cheap Chinese one of ebay and I really wouldn't recommend it. If you want a decent one get a Sony XAV AX3005DB. I have one of those in my Honda Civic Type R and its amazing! If you are kn a budget any 7inch unit should have similar wiring as long as it has the correct outputs
@@ModorFix thank you . What's your bad thoughts on the Chinese ones ? I just need it for reverse camera mainly . Is the reverse camera usability good on the Chinese ones ? Thanks
@modoodle1851 it's perfectly fine for the reverse cam. Sound quality isn't great, you really have to crank it up to hear it, and the mic is useless (probably doesn't help that I have an aftermarket exhaust). Also it takes ages to boot up. If you buy a more modern version with plenty of RAM I'm sure it will be better than what I have. I mean mine is like 3 years old now and I bought it second hand for 20 quid lol!!!
@@ModorFix thank you for the info ... I'll do abit more research on them and see what's decent .. hope I find one for £20 also lol 😂
@modoodle1851 good luck bud
Is a 8 hour job?
Nooo.. maybe 2hrs. Depending on how rusted the bolts are
very helpful thanks - edit = that's the same set up as the Cube z12 kaizen 2010 (manual g/box) in the uk - only difference is that adjuster bolt is 13mm / no access thru the fog lamp though but ours was very easy to turn once the tensioner pulley bolt was loosened off
Great vid. Might be a stupid question I couldn’t tell. Did you ground the black earth wire ? Some say you can do it to the car or to a negative. I heard you say you probably don't need to ground. Wondering what the best option is with mine .
Thanks bud, If you mean the camera then no, didn't bother. It gets a ground from the stereo end (yellow RCA)
Thank you for sharing.
THANK YOU, I have been bamboozled why after new rear pads and adding washers to create more tension it still wouldn't hold. I shall try this today. MY CAR ROLLED OFF ITS HANDBREAK THE OTHER DAY IN MORRISONS CARPARK!!! AND BLOCKED THE ROAD😅
Omg! That's horrendous. This method should work a treat if everything is new. The cables normally jam up. I need to get new cables for mine again. Probably go genuine toyota this time.
Does the screen have a USB port for your phone? I couldn’t see a port
Yes thats the only way you can connect to android auto. You have to run an extension of the unit. Normally comes with the stereo
