It all goes downhill at once!

I agree that the stock brakes DO SUCK! Especially the pre'92 version.

I had to stop quickly in the Quad and it was more than a little "concerning"!

As far as a braided line on the clutch I think that is a neat idea.

Stock brakes do suck. I think the base may be able to lock them up, but not the z26. All new brake lines, rebuilt m/c, ebc pads and rotors and the pedal feels like crap. The base is stock and the brakes feel great. I don't get it

Gotta bleed them properly..

BLEEDING PROCEDURE
Before the brakes can be bled, the front and rear displacement pistons in the modulator must be in the top most or "home" position with their check balls unseated. If the pistons are not in this position, they will not allow the brakes to be bled.

The two ways to home the pistons are with a scan tool (which is the preferred technique) or with a special manual procedure. If using a scan tool, select the "ABS Test" mode, then the "manual control" or "motor rehome" option. The motors in the modulator can now be commanded to drive the pistons to their home positions. The motors will not return to their home positions, however, if the ABS warning light is on or if there are any fault codes present in the system. All faults must first be repaired and all codes cleared before the pistons can be homed.

Once the pistons have been homed, bleed the modulator starting with the rear bleeder screw first. Attach a length of clear tubing to the rear bleeder screw, and submerge the other end in a clear container partially filled with brake fluid. Open the bleeder screw one more turn and apply pedal pressure. Close the bleeder screw when the pedal bottoms out. Repeat until no bubbles are in the fluid. Then repeat this procedure for the front bleeder screw on the modulator. Once the modulator has been bled, the brake lines can be bled manually or with pressure equipment in the following sequence: right rear, left rear, right front, left front.

To bleed the system without a scan tool, start the engine and allow it to run for at least 10 seconds, making sure the ABS warning light is off. Do not touch the brake pedal during this time. This will allow the ABS system to initialize itself. Make sure the ABS warning light goes out after three seconds (if it remains on, further diagnosis with a scan tool will be necessary before the system can be bled.) Turn the ignition off and repeat this procedure a second time. Turn the ignition off and bleed the modulator and brake lines using the same procedure described above.

Use only DOT 3 brake fluid. Do not use DOT 5 silicone brake fluid in this or any other ABS system.

I just got my wood stove installed in my garage... time for me to take my car apart... nevermind get it on the road... LOL

TOO much salt on the roads.

How about the $500 worth of installation hardware...

Grrrrrrr! I want a garage so bad!

It took till I was 26 to have this... Trust me it doesn't come easy unless you are lucky.

[beretta bitch]

Not to hijack Barry's thread...but Jon, I have to say that the "Spousal Avoidance Centre" is looking pretty impressive.

[99GaGT3X00]

well yeah you can bring the 500 worth of installation hardware but i dont think ill need all of it if i can go through the roof and use the existing furnace hole.

24 and still not yet...

Looks good man. I'm looking at a split ranch now with a 2-car attached garage. woohoo!

[MY91GT(Z)]

had one since 21 but now downsized for the lose, due to having rebuild my credit and a job that pays less

[Barry]

Well the car has been running since last tuesday. Its running really good.

Cant say Im too happy with this clutch though. It has sliped a few times, and it dosent grab like my XTR did. Theres no chance of chirping 3rd with this, it just engages too slow. I really think its the clutch delay valve causing this issue. I got my line re-made, so I need to install it now and see how that helps.

Raced a stage 2 340hp STi tonight from a 40 roll and got raped bad from 70-110. I held up between 40 to 60ish though.

Also got new tires for the front.

[Money pit Beretta]

Glad to hear that your up and running good. I don't know why you went after a STi. Try a WRX next time. Next your going to tell us that you took on a Z06(lol). Well at least you made him waste his gas.

[Barry]

I beat him from the same race stock. Now he has a tune, catless dp, exhaust, intake. Sti's aren't all that quick. I see them run high 13's at the track, but with a really good 60'. Where I run a low 14 with a terrible 60'(in the awd world) but there pretty equal from a roll

[IsaacHayes]

Damn, they must be heavy. I can't wait until I can unleash my cammed motor on the street.
