So i removed abs in my 94 EX coupe. to do that, i changed the master cylinder with one from a 90 LS integra. I also used the power booster from that same car. Then i got a proportioning valve from a civic or integra with rear disks w/o abs. Then i got the hard lines from a junkyard civic without abs. the hard lines i replaced were the two going from the master cylinder to the prop valve and the two going from the prop valve to each front caliper. then i used brand new stainless steel braided soft lines on all four corners.

so last week i had this problem: im driving down the road @ 40mph and when i would put the clutch in to **** into the next gear, the car would slow down to ~30mph. Then when i would try and keep a good speed, the front brakes started to smell. when i stopped, the front drivers side brake was smoking.

since then, i replaced the rotor, pads, and caliper and bled the brakes.

this problem is still occurring. the brake pedal is VERY firm. it seems to only happen after abour 5-6 minutes of driving. anybody heard of this?

sound like the piston in the caliper is seizing or getting stuck try a different caliper

Replace the rubber hoses that connect to the caliber. If they're old they are probably rotted out inside and the mung is clogging up the caliber. I had that happening to a taurus, kept replacing the caiber, bleed, new pads & the caliber would fail WAY sooner than it should.
