Bleeding brakes
Today I fitted braided lines and Ksport BBK and starting the bleeding procedure from the farthest caliper from the MC but the problem is the pedal is spongy as hell.
Is there a different procedure to bleed the brake system on S2000. Btw I am using ATE Super Blue Racing Brake Fluid.
Thanks

undo bleed nipple just enough to allow fluid through (i prefer a bit of resistance on the pedal),
furtherest caliper from master cylinder first, and work closer.
it may take a few tries to get it going.
another option is to remove the suspect caliper, push the piston all the way back to re-bleed (this will irradiate as much fluid/air from the calliper as possible). another option is to block off the hose and see which corner is the problem, although with braided lines, thats not an option (you can only clamp-off the OE rubber ones).

See Page 19-9 of the service manual if you've not already got one it's downloadable here http://downloads.hon...ce%20Manual.zip remember that's for an LHD car, so it's: Front Right, Front Left, Rear Left, Rear Right (I think).

on the manual it says start from front left then front right, rear right and finish at rear left?? why is that??

the best why to bleed your brakes is the old fashioned way get a bottle put a small amount of fluid in the bottom put a small diameter rubber pipe on the bleed nipple and the other in the bottle below the fluid level then slowly pump your pedal until no more bubbles of air appear in the bottle, don't pour the fluid back in your cyl as this will be airiated and you will be there all day.
