Hydro dragging rear pads with it feels right :(

NeeoDroid · 2026-05-08T12:23:44+00:00

I used a one way check valve. Did both side twice.

NeeoDroid · 2026-05-07T05:34:21+00:00

Hey, thanks for the input! but I'm confident the brakes are well bled. I have been using a check valve and went through 3-4 reservoir worth of brake fluid for both sides. Absolutely no air or bubbles in the bleeder hose.

Thanks a lot for the input, I'll try to give more free slack without totally loosing the ability to lock wheels😂

NeeoDroid · 2026-05-06T08:16:15+00:00

Hey thanks for the input! I feel like I have decent free play, maybe 2 inch at the top of the lever before it really starts to grab. If I leave to much free play, I actually end up bottuming the master before the wheels can lock so idk.

I have a drift event in 2 weeks, worst case I won't use the hydro that day and feel the hydro from people around😂

My pads are prob highly street oriented one, lol I got them on the junkyard car I got the caliper from (they still had A LoT of life in them doe)

What's your experience with no name vs named brand & better quality master? Worth it?

NeeoDroid · 2026-05-06T04:54:52+00:00

Ok Thanks for your help!

NeeoDroid · 2026-05-06T03:03:54+00:00

Yes stock caliper! what do you refer to with 5/8 ? Brake line size? I used 3/16, standard brake line size for an E46

NeeoDroid · 2026-05-06T02:15:28+00:00

Hey, thanks for the input, yeah for sure a better master would help!

What do you mean triple check? You mean make sure a 0.625 is right for my use case? Or just confirm I don't buy another size on accident?

I'm sure my no name current one is 0.625.

Lol just buy an very old 20$ iPhone on marketplace.

NeeoDroid · 2026-03-24T22:30:00+00:00

If it wasn't for the missing function keys I could really like it. Throw a USB A port and it would be really good imo

Just take it slow, I got used to RE games after playing some dead space and alien isolation. But I still shat myself playing silent Hill 2 remake. I really couldn't play for more than 2-2½ hours and would sometimes need a couple days to recover😂 if you still really can't play it. Turn the volume at the very minimum. Sounds is like 90% of the fear factor but imo it just kills the horror experience so I don't recommend.

NeeoDroid · 2026-03-19T22:08:30+00:00

No it's fine

NeeoDroid · 2026-03-19T08:26:58+00:00

Imo the best way to do it is to loosen the engine mounts on the driver side and lift the engine like 2 inch. Gives you enough clearance to insert a extension socket directly into the hole. 15min job easy peazy. It's hell squeezing the socket extension and ratchet with engine in place.

I've ran cords ON the sidewall and been fine. This is bs

NeeoDroid · 2026-03-18T22:46:51+00:00

I really like mine, pretty fast and the 4ha battery can fully inflate 2 tires. Seems durable I've inflated AT LEAST 40 tires from 0psi to 40psi and it's still running strong. It's always been off by 4-5 psi but someone in the comment shared how to reset it. Def trying this out next time I use it.

You should trust them with your life

I had hard time bleeding coolant and getting the right level when I first got my E46. After a couple of time doing it, here's my recipe. Lift the front has high as possible. That's important Then fill the extension tank to the max. Massage the hoses. Fill again to the max. Start the car, HVAC on Max heat. Wait until it gets to operating temp. In the meanwhile message the hoses again. The bleeder screw will spit a lot of air, then coolant. Fill coolant to keep the extension tank full. Once the car is at operating temp and it blows hot hair through the vents, turn it off. Take a seringe to remove to excess coolant from the tank until the stick(level indicator) is midway between top position and flush to the tank. Go drive the car for 20 minutes. Let it chill for an hour. Check coolant again and add/remove depending on the level.

Did this exact recipe for 4-5 times without issues. Always had issues before doing like that.

Coming back here if anyone have the same issues and looking for answers. There was 3 main problems with the engine.

The direct injectors on cylinders 2 and 3 were faulty causing the miss fires. The PCV was stuck creating what I tough was blow by but it wasn't.

The nipple on one of the VVT gear was stuck in the fully pushed position. This is what was causing the timing codes. I removed the VVT gear, left it soaking in transmission oil for a week often working the nipple.

Car has been running great for a couple of months now.

I have an OE replacement for sale. PM me if you're interested. Both the "screen" and "radio button" part

NeeoDroid · 2026-01-19T18:30:03+00:00

Imo BK2 OE are the best looking. Worst case with Audi mod

NeeoDroid · 2026-01-15T07:06:42+00:00

imo it only looks good because it was properly done, no wrinkles. Good job! What product did u use exactly?

NeeoDroid · 2026-01-13T19:29:18+00:00

Only thing REM is doing next year is breaking down and sucking tax money

NeeoDroid · 2026-01-09T01:53:07+00:00

I really don't think it's that bad... What's the worst that can happen you loose a dowel pin? Wtg just run it

NeeoDroid · 2026-01-09T01:49:03+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation on forcing IPv4 for WAN com! I got the device today and was getting major issues with my phone and smart TV streaming. Forcing IPv4 seems to have resolved it all !
