Pull up those back seats or crx covers and check the lines.

My brake line blew out and it wasn't fun...and this wasn't a car I would have noticed something like this.

Common problem in ALL cars that are old and have seen a bit of winters. Rubber grommets hold water, and it's a steel line with minor coating, do the math. All my EFs have had them burst. They normally don't unless you start doing thing to the braking system, like upgraded master cylinder and rear disc conversion with a new proportioning valve.

This is a one owner 91 civic maintained from honda from 91 till now. Except for the radio a totaly stock car including an original clutch. The owner drove from barrie and must have been doing 120+ when he came to drop it off at my place. This happend 2 days after. Not to mention the car was in honda a week before.

You guys should check your your lines wether its a common problem or not.
