Injecting some new life into an aging car - 2010 city

[biloo]

All your OEM grade work is lovely. Loved your thread altogether

[roony]

thanks.

Bled the brakes and clutch fluid. I had a very slight delay when pressing the brake pedal before any braking would take place. I think there might have been some air in the lines. Anyways, issue resolved after bleeding. Considerable better pedal feel and braking performance.

Bleeding sequence, basically doing the shortest line first.

Cleaned up the slave cylinder push rod and applied some LM 47 between it and the clutch fork, it was completely dry before.

Were you able to find any noticeable difference in the smoothness of clutch pedal after this service?

[roony]

no. I would get the occasional squeak, but that should be eliminated now that I greased up the push rod.

I bleed the clutch fluid only yearly so no noticeable difference in feel. I want to prolong the life of the internal rubber seals. I switched to LM dot 4 brake previously as its easily available near my place and it comes in 250ml bottles.

notice any difference like sound insulation after adding these?

[TM]

@roony! Now you have made me think about my Honda City... same year as yours but a little less driven, less than 80k. But of course the the age/time is a killer.

[roony]

only a little bit, if im cruising above 3k rpm less engine sound.

[roony]

considerably less driven, perhaps your shocks and suspension components are fine.

Nice job!!

[roony]

thanks.

However I think I just discovered a leak between brake master cylinder and brake booster. Maybe this could explain why air could have gotten into the line. Sigh, have to confirm and sort this out.

This, in and of itself would not help insulate sound too much but it does give you the opportunity to install some sound deadening material between this and the metal hood.

[Ussamah]

Like your gloves..

[arslansarwar]

Wow. It is a superb project, loved it​

[m.tariq92]

Form where can I get these hood and trunk insulator from? Tried finding it online but no luck.

[roony]

he sells it, Umair. 03214652098

[arslansarwar]

Is it worth it? I mean will it reduce the sound to any extent?

[m.tariq92]

Im from Hyderabad, so he has a shop or something? Can he deliver via courier?

[roony]

Is it worth it?

for sound purposes only, no.
