I just picked up another 91 civic hatch with 217k on it and original motor very clean car from a 80 year old man original owner too... well I was driving it and noticed first thing was I had to mash the brake pedal whole way to the floor for it to slow down... not stop slow down. Ha... meaning they wont lock up or do some serious braking when I need it... so first thing I did was check the brakes, then bleed all the old **** out... put a bottle of new in and bleed it out to clear the lines completely and then put in another new bottle and still the same problem... brakes kind of got a little better but I think its all in my head... does this mean I need a new master cylinder I don’t really know.

 

i could be wrong on this, but change your brake lines. do that first and if it still the same then it might be your master.

 

if the lines arnt leaking no need to change the hard lines. id do the master. also ckeck the rear wheel cylinders see if the leaking any

 

yeah nothing is leaking when i checked the brakes out... so we think its the master cylinder then? i could get some steel braded lines... that would be pretty sweet

 

they might not be leaking but for a 18year old car those break lines are going to be stretched out. that's why i suggested brake lines first.

 

gotcha... well i can do that... simple enough and you saying 18 years old makes me say yeah its worth replacing them...

hey is your 90 civic a EX like you name is... my hatch has a EX badge on it but i am unsure if it truly is a EX b/c i didnt know they made that trim level then.

no, what you have is a badge. the EX only came in 4door, and only from 90-91. and yes, i do have a 90 civic EX 4door 5speed.

 

okay, i thought someone put that badge on there... and also its 5 speed i thought that was only for the si's ...

 

and its dual point injection is my car the dx model then... sorry i am new to d series... i have another 91 hatch but i bought it as just a shell and i swapped in a bseries motor. so a stock hatch is very new to me..
