I have a 95 2 door civy with a jdm gsr in it. When i bought the car it was an auto but we converted it to manual. The M/C is brand new due to the conversion. Also i have the rear wheel disc conversion with ebc rotors pads and calipers with type r steel braided brake lines. Ive had the car for a a couple months now and no problems. Brakes work awesome . Today i was out rippin around when i noticed that the brake peddle was slowlly goin to the floor and eventually i lost all pressure. Im pretty sure its a leak in a line becuz like i said the M/C is brand new and i fill my brake res every 2 weeks. But the brakes have never done this b4 and after a while and some pumping they came back. I also here a popping noise sometimes when i brake hard. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASEEEEE!!!!

 

If you're refilling the mc every 2 weeks, you obviously have a leak somewhere.. find it.

 

im refilling the brake fluid res every 2 weeks and have no problems with the clutch just the brake peddle and only today....sooooo??

 

hmm try bleeding/refilling

If you are refilling the brake fluid every two weeks YOU HAVE A LEAK IN THE SYSTEM. Its pretty obvious and doesn't require a degree to figure that much out. Since a brake system is under very high pressure, could it be possible that your small leak transformed into a large leak due to your neglect?

Even if you have a hydraulic clutch, that fluid is kept in a completely seperate set of lines than the brake system.

I would fill up the M/C, start the car, let it idle, then pump the brake pedal like mad until the pedal starts behaving badly. Stop the car, let it sit there for 15-20 minutes, then start it up and move it. You should have a puddle of fluid that roughly corresponds to where the leak is on your car.

 

i appreciate everyones help sarcasm isnt neccesary though but thanks. Anyway i know i have a leak somewhere but i cant seem to find it all the lines are brand new steel braided type r lines and the m/c is brand new too. i parked my car on a white sheet yesterday and couldnt find this morning even after pumping the brakes hard. so i just dont know i guess ill have to go through the whole brakes system
