Didn’t know drum to disk conversion was this easy!
Rip that spilt brake fluid, I was dying when i heard u making that noise😂
8:53 “NOOOOOO”😂💀💀💀
What did you use for e-brake cable? Did you go for an Integra e-brake cable?
I've heard the EP3 calipers are tricky. You're absolutely not supposed to pull the handbrake lever before bleeding, some calipers even come with a little warning tab for this, but I don't know what effect driving on them without a cable would have. Hope it worked out.
*_I got to do this on my 97 EK hatch 🥹_*
yesterday was my first time servicing drum brakes. wheel cylinder hardware shoes and drum and ss braided line. drums are for the birds. i spent all day doing one side and cleaning my rims. ill finish the other today.
i also replaced everything up front: calipers, pads, hardware and stainles steel braided lines.
in the end its extremely worth it on these 20-30 year old vehicles that had been driving most of the time.
the wheel cylinder basically exploded as soon as i removed the pressure from the shoes.
for my 2003 civic ex i spent abiut 500 on all of the brake components i mentioned. do not i repeat do not buy the 30 dollar ss brake line kits off ebay. they will send wrong shit and deny it.
but i think autizone had the correct lines for like 60 bucks ...
I wonder why Honda made drums standard and not disc. Could it be because drums are cheaper? They’re def more complex than disc…
its cheaper and the breake power it had was enough
Depends on the model. My EG came stock with discs. EU market EG5 ESi. Drum brakes actually work better as a parking brake, but they heat up faster if you brake alot, that's why sports cars come with discs, and economy cars with drums.
The best thing about the video, is the smile on your face while you are doing this, i like the happy vibe 🎉
What E-brake cable you end up going with?
I was looking for this also
Can you do this conversion to the del sol as well?
Now that you've had a month or so with these eBay part - how are they working out for you? (Considering this for my '97 Del Sol)
Best purchase I’ve made price wise, nothing has failed or gave me issues. Definitely will consider this route in the future. If anything ever fails I’ll make it known but so I highly recommend
The eg looking nice man 🫡🔥🔥
Thanks bro 💪🏾
Can I put a dust shield behind the disc in the process ?
Yes, it would mount to the adapter. Make sure the dust cover has the 4 bolt mounting points and your are good to go
@@Adam_Bap. Alright thank you
Hey, great video bro. One question, where did you get the brackets for the e brake cable? I've done a disc swap on my EK straight out of a DC2. Everything is in place except the bracket for the e brake cable. Help would be really appreciated. Thanks.
Bracket that connects to the caliper or or the chassy?
You need 99/00 si cables
Can you do my brakes next
I got you for a small price of $98k, I’ll have it ready by next year
Thank you, I ordered my disc conversion plates, need just the calipers,pads and rotors! no ebrake cebles!!! jk
Ill just get them later lol
This the same for EK?
yessir
I’m late to the party, but this is by far the most informative walkthrough without giving too much info. Precisely to the point and all. Question did u change the propositioning valve ?
Do you know what dust sheild would fit for the conversion, and also what plate would fit for my 93 civic coupe EX AT. Thank you!
Thanks for the vid, I really like listening to you ❤
Bro thats an awsome upgrade!!! Where did you buy the parts?
Links in the description bro💪🏾
@@Adam_Bap. are those rear calipers from and integra or SI?? What year model?
i have those same needle nose pliers. great video!
You still used the hubs from the drum brakes?
@@KUNjdms I did
@@Adam_Bap. thanks man...
Thank you bru
Did you swap out your proportioning to disk brake version one? Imma do a rear disk on mine eg soon. Some people say u need to change others says it fine to use the drum brake one.
It would be an investment to do it! but no, I haven't swapped mine. Haven't had any problems so far
Nooooo the brake fluid.
Nice bro make more videos
Will this all work for a 99 civic ex? Is it all the same?
Yes
Hehehe interesting and Big update from the drums.
Nice seats too!
The only thing good about the conversion is in the esthetics department while it contributes to no tangible improvement in performance.
Correct, upgrading your brakes defiantly won't increase the braking performance. great tip bro
@@Adam_Bap. Thank you for the kind reply dear sir. If you haven't done so, I would highly recommend steel brake lines. While it does nothing in the esthetics department, you will reap great rewards in the terms of driving feel.
It actually does improve braking performance. You should be able to feel a noticeable difference in brake response with disc brakes over drums. Discs have a higher brake torque at the same diameter compared to drums.
@@Adam_Bap. 🤣
@@moshet842 I know i was just being sarcastic lol, but there is a major difference when it comes to braking. Very noticeable
What was the name of the kit you purchased,
