i havent changed either, but i would think the MC would be harder, with all those rigid lines running everywhere in the engine bay. thats what was so hard about changing the fuel filter. i think the prop valve would be simple.

Little incoherent, but not a bad thread. I do have one request, go back and edit your original post Faith, I would rather you not bait Shaddoh into doing whatever it is he threatened to do. Consider this a "friendly warning"

faithofadragon

alright

ill edit it i appologize at the time he really had me p!ssed

anyways has anybody thought about using a hydrobooster?

the minitruckin guys i know use them alot they tell me it reduced weight by like 15lbs and they got better braking plus more room for tires (tires thing shouldnt matter to us we have a strut tower in the way

I am unsure what you mean by a Hydrobooster. If you are talking about a Hydraulic booster, similar to how our powersteering works, as opposed to the engine vacuume method our cars use for brake boosting, I would not recommend it.

Granted, I am certain that they have come a long way since the ones I have driven, but I always found them to be lacking in feel. I have driven both a Caddy and a Citroen, neither was a surperb example of brake feel.

I do not think we need the extra 15% either. We already have more than enough braking force to easily lock up the brakes, with minimal effort from the pedal, this is just something that seems fraught with peril if you mess it up.


Of course you do realise that this comes from somebody who's first half a dozen cars or so had totally manual brakes with no booster at all. In reality, they were not all much harder to use than ours and had MUCH better feel.

i never said anythin about 15%

i said it weighs less hehe

interesting concept.

You did forget one thing in your list above. Good brakes allow you to go faster. you spend LESS time braking so you can spend more time accelerating.

Can the EBC greenstuff warp our stock orders or get eaten up by slotted, need new pads this summer and maybe some new front rotors too

thanks for that link tibby01,

so the general way to paint caliprs is brush on not spray right? I thought brush on would drip but I guess if you do it right you can leave the calipers on...

Allright questio for ya

I bought steel brake lines from draguntib and I just wanted to ask if I got them how do I install them ? Can I just simple unscrew the current ones and install the new ones, do I need to bleed the system or something.

Help me out B)

Take off the old ones, put on the new ones and bleed air out.
