I topped up barely anything now. And no, i didn't bleed it. I assumed that was only when you flush the system?
if its losing fluid its going somewhere, it's not like it "uses" fluid so to speak. so if it dropped to "Min" then it is leaking somewhere, most likely the master cylinder.
an easy to spot sign of a leaking master cylinder is seeing leaked fluid where the shaft connects to the clutch pedal inside the car, or on the firewall around the cylinder itself.
Right, I'll check that soon. So how long can I go on with it leaking?

Well not today but yesterday...Goodridge braided brake lines. Didn't bleed the brake lines properly so a little spongey, but wanted to save the marriage so will let a mechanic finish it off!
Also fitted a few blingy bits - oil cap, solenoid cover and wheel nuts from Works Engineering.
I have 70k till I can join haha ;)
Bought a shark attack II, waiting on delivery. Also gave the entire car a clean inside and out, so much nicer.

How much and where did you get your type r mats from? I'm keen to buy some for my vti-r but i don't know how much to pay for a set and where to find brand new ones?Quote:

A lot (but well worth it - don't really want to go into the amount) and private sale, I spotted them on a 'teg forum.Quote:

Little update:
Bought a few things as I'm on holidays for two weeks - gotta love teaching. Actually, I need it as the transmission on the E30 is whining at 80km/h :(
The windows were binding when raised and looking at the rubber channels/surrounds I could see it was a bit dirty and dry. OCD time kicked in and out with water (no soap) to clean the channels and mist/wipe down the area that the glass touched with silicon lubricant (no comments thanks :D ). Problem solved and the glass moves quickly and the motors no longer strain at the half-way point.
Brand new mats being the most expensive but well worth it for me. These are more backups/display only as the original driver's side cops the heel of my shoes - now I can get a protector pad put on them and not stress over taking away from the factory look (I have a "factory look" mindset from the days of my EF9 - mods as long as it can be reverted to stock).

New radiator cap as the Cusco's rubber was looking a bit average. Not leaking, but pre-emptive replacement. Socks to pretty up the engine bay and contrast to the yellow and a certain red clip that came with the mat.
http://members.iinet.net.au/~setanta/dc2r/DSCN0185.jpg
Cap on
http://members.iinet.net.au/~setanta/dc2r/DSCN0190.jpg
Socks on and looking pretty but looking at the photos I see a bit of dirt around the ridge of the master cylinder. I was going to get the cotton buds out tomorrow to clean down a few bits tomorrow and have added this to the list (OCD sucks big time!).
http://members.iinet.net.au/~setanta/dc2r/DSCN0191.jpg
Engine bay wiped down with a clean cloth, didn't come back dirty other than a touch of oil off the blanked off turbo oil line on the sump - tightened the clamp and cleaned it up. Wiped down the hoses etc and closed the bonnet before I went nuts.
http://members.iinet.net.au/~setanta/dc2r/DSCN0193.jpg
Ok so on to the item that I was most excited about. What I loved about my EF9 SiR was how it was so superior to any Aussie delivered Honda (bar the NSX) of it's time and even through the Aussie EGs and EKs. Little things like "Oh your mats are slipping? Here, we'll hook it in place for you". The 'tegs mats did this too and it's been annoying to scrunch over the bolster and have the mat ruckle up (especially when you are a short-arse and have the seat close to the wheel :D ).
Enter the mats complete with red hook. Ok, maybe not the metal one in my EF9 but a plastic one - and DC2R's all being about lightweight... plastic makes sense right? Well anyway time to fit. Pretty obvious except that googling the fitting so I didn't wreck the carpet only brought back a few hits on USDM hooks for their ugly mats. The premise was the same and looking closely, Honda had pre-cut 90% of the carpet and a quick 1cm cut was all that was needed to access the mount behind:

Push the tab into the mounting point and it clicks home

Mat over the top:
http://members.iinet.net.au/~setanta/dc2r/DSCN0189.jpg
and now I can get in and out without the map ruckling up.
http://members.iinet.net.au/~setanta/dc2r/DSCN0195.jpg
Then I notice the dirt etc on the carpet and get the vacume out only to have my daughter scold me for getting too caught up in the car and that I should be spending time with her. :)
Probably overly detailed for small things, but I figured why the hell not :)
^^
That is awesome!!! I'm sick of pulling my matts back all the time
Looking good Setanta, should do a work log in the appearance gallery or something, im sure more than a few would appreciate it.
I think i saw your car at the HCCNSW meet, car looked awesome but there was one thing that quite bugged me and that being the chopped up front bar
i think it was chopped cause of the intercooler?..if there was a way to plastic weld that black piece for the front bar, the car would be perfect
Yep, I haven't pulled the bar off to see how it was done, but I kind of like the mesh there (although it does pick up leaves :D ). TBH, if I was going to go the black plastic insert I'd have to buy a complete new bar (because I couldn't stand a second hand one) which would then blow out to "hmmm... maybe I should track down a brand new JDM front end" which I can't quite justify ... yet :)
Great to see Deano's old car getting more love, keep up the good'ol work mate
Pete, where did you get the clip for the mats?
want to get one for partner's car.
It came with the mats. I'm actually wondering if Honda Japan have them in stock still (mats they don't). If not, the USDM Acura ones use a screw-in setup and I have a feeling that might be another avenue to go down
