@@johneppenauer6772 nothing a £10 part worn can't resolve on this shed 🤣 in all seriousness, the change would be minimal as the track rod end is the only area of adjustment on this suspension type. Everything else is fixed

@@Sheppy-x6c it's fair to say they've been replaced since this video was posted over 2 years ago 😂

@@johnqt2308 Thanks appreciate the kind words and regarding the spoiler, I'm unsure for the sedan, sorry bro

@@jakeguitarbass7209 I believe they're Yellowstuff Rear Brake Pads - DP42120R Yellowstuff Front Brake Pads - DP42003R From my email with Josh at EBC 🤙🏼

@@Dan_AYP Much Appreciated Dan. I currently still have the factory brakes that are on 30,000km. Ever so often the front pads rattle when going over the occasional pot hole. Usually signs of worn pads and fittings.

Full lock, both sides jacked up so the suspension is fully extended 👍🏻 should slide out with just enough room

If the manual says replace, then always replace. 👍🏻 New bolts certainly wouldn't hurt, replace and renew the bolts could mean 2 different things though

@@Dan_AYP i went to the dealership with intent to get new bolts, and they talked me out of it. idk if they saved be a buck or want me dead, heh. i guess im reusing 10yo bolts

Have owned both and they're both a lot of fun. The 1.4t is much easier to drive in everyday situations and the extra pull from the increased torque won't suck you back into your seat but does feel good from any engine speed when you're on the throttle. The 1.6 has no pull to speak of and you have to rev the nuts off to make progress. Yes it's fun but can also be tiresome sometimes too, especially in traffic.

Man those Abarths sound better stock than 90 percent of modified cars out there

@@dividivus nothings perfect, it's a £600 car 😂

Thanks Lewis mate

@@Dan_AYP you are Welcome

Some aren't as accurate as you'd expect. Most are set at 2mm, but can go lower even than the 1.6mm specified in the UK.

Thanks mate

Hey thanks for watching and any suggestions on how to improve the content, be it structure or even the subject being discussed, I'm all ears man 👍🏻

Yes mate very much so but, if you don't need the 4 doors and rear seats like my Mrs does, (we have 2 kids) I'd recommend the 86 over the SSS. It's faster, more of a drivers car. The SSS is the hatch I'd buy over all the other mini hatches though 👍🏻 including the fiesta, abarth etc

Sometimes a full caliper refresh isn't needed and the pistons on the rear wind back as they have a ratchet mechanism internally for the handbrake. With this in mind, simply moving the piston can "free it off" enough to not need a full caliper refurb. To add, dismantling the caliper can result in seals getting damaged and/or split. This is fine if you have a full set of rubbers to replace them with but if not, you end up with a bricked car until you buy them. Most replacement calipers are also very close to a refurb kit in cost but, you save a lot of time by just buying a replacement caliper. If you want another video showing the caliper teardown and rebuild I believe theres one on a civic ev1 on my channel 👍🏻

Thanks lad

Paints gone on the car mate haha and orbital was all he had to hand at the time. That's the only reason mate 👍🏻 a cordless drill does work and I've done that myself on another headlight resto on the EM1 build. It's on the channel somewhere 😁

Thanks mate, I can't recall the torque settings (check online/auto data) but you can find the rears done over on silverline tools channel where I did them as a how to for them 👍🏻

Great little cars I’m on my original pads and discs still but I’ll try these EBC pads when I change them. 👍🏻

It was cheap, I can tell you that much

They're mint! Really grabby compared to the OEM pads even when cold and very resistant to high temps on a spirited drive. Although I never got the OEM ones to fade completely, these have never shown any signs of fade where I would have expected the OEM ones to start fading. Brake dust is heavy though as you would expect from a performance pad 👍🏻

I'll do a review if you're interested

@@Dan_AYP Thanks for your answer, I would be happy to see a review!

But on a £600 car it doesn't 😆

Me reading this comment 🤷🏼

So you can reset it after completing a service yourself
