I just daily my car except for sometimes when I go on the backroads, I know where some nearly perfect backroad curvy roads are where there's never traffic. Turns are anywhere from 25-55mph turns (posted signs speed limit Is what I mean) The main road I go on normally is a 15-20 minute drive at speed limit. I took it out in about 4 mintues and 30 seconds, Minimum speed being 100 kph, At the very very last turn my car almost didn't stop cause it got crazy brake fade. Won't be driving over the speed limit anywhere now and definately not following behind anyone close till I get new brakes, Lol. That's the only time I drive fast though. Anywhere from 2-5am in middle of the night in the back roads. Never see a single car. One time I did spin out in a turn I hit it at 120 kph and it was really cold that night and I don't think my tires were completely warmed up but whenever I hit it I just went sideways and slid 180 degrees sideways all the way till I stopped. But yeah my brakes are shot. I don't even want to drive my car anywhere right now they're so bad. Scared if someone in front of me hits their brakes hard enough i'd slam into the back of them

The brake fade on these suckers is horrendous. They quit so quick.

The brake fade I got last night was bad enough that I'll be babying it until I get new rotors/pads. My civics front brakes are 9.5" rotors instead of 10.3" of an integra, Plus I have drums in the rear. Luckily the car only weights about 1900-2000 pounds

I have to put oil in my car. I think I have a dizzy leak or my pan gasket is leaking again. Might not have seated it right when I replaced it.

I get terrible brake fade in mine. I made a mistake and went with cheap organic brake pads though. They suck.

They're a pain in the ass. I tightened them down in sequence and in steps.

I'm wondering if oil pan gaskets are hit or miss from the sound of it. I've never tightened my oil pan in sequence or anything. But i've never had a oil leak on my integra from oil pan either.

I followed sequence and torque spec, even torqued in steps like you're supposed to. Did this on an engine stand, within a year the bolts loosened up and were causing a small leak, after 2 years the pan gasket was broken and leaking from the rear of the motor. I replaced it a few months back when I changed the header. I used a Fel-Pro gasket this time instead of a reboxed OEM one so far no problems.

I have the fail-pro, It started sweating after about 6 months, Nothing ever hits the ground but it's like condensation on a cold drink.

Hmm, when I can I'll put my car up and check it out, it's been about 7 months. I didn't notice anything last time I was up her skirt .

I tightened up my oilpan bolts when I did the head rebuild and cleaned it up, Still sweating but it improved it a bit, I'm ok with it, It doesn't get low or drip on the ground so no big deal, On the plus side it keeps all the bolts from getting corrosion.
