Porous caliper

New rotors all around, new rear pads, cleaned and lubed all pins and sliders with Permatex ceramic 3000f synthetic brake lube, and installed front Goodridge stainless braided brake lines. Used ATE 200 brake fluid - still need to get the rear braided lines installed.

 

Nice. Braided lines make a BIG difference.

 

If your manual could it be coming from the tob?

 

My experience with TOBs is pretty limited; any idea if there's a way i can check for/test this theory? it's an 06 LSJ, it's manual

 

The bottom of you bell housing where the engine meets the tranny would be damp with brake fluid.

 

Yeah I had an emergency stop situation on the highway in heavy traffic where the pedal almost hit the floor... after 10 years and 110k miles of daily driving, they're a little worn.

Even with only the front lines changed at the moment it made a big difference, can't wait to get all 4 of the rears on.

 

Where did you buy your brake lines from?

 

I drove to the mountains I love during my childhood, only to find a dead forest full of depression and death. Guess the wildfire 2 years ago destroyed the place.

Also I pissed off some kid in an eclipse with a body kit because he couldn't keep up. I'd say he needed more stickers.

 

Went to zzp and got my new clutch. Really nice place. Theyve got some pretty sweet cars there

 

Cleaned it up and took it through some turns to see how it did. Still not good enough. Then on the way back home had some d bag on a bike try to race me. Smh.....what a loser

 

Installed lower hot side charge pipe

 

Did a thing...

 

Thought about selling it.

 

You're not going to get the money you want for it. Don't bother.

 

I don't have a set price for it, so its not really an issue for me.

I'm not one of the kiddies who think my car is worth 12k, because of mods and how mint it is.

I'll de-mod it, put it back to stock and go from there. I'm starting to get over the sport compact scene.

 

Staged you wouldnt leave us like that

 

Haha, it's not set in stone... and no I wouldn't just abandon you guys Lol.

 

That's what they all say. You'll find a nicer model and never look back.

 

 

Never thought I would see the day that staged would consider selling his car

 

Question for all. Upon leaving home in my '06 LSJ last night, clutch feel was fine, brake pedal went to the floor, with zero resistance. No brakes. Found out coming up to a red light; that was awesome.

Clutch is great, brakes go to the floor. checked fluid, it was low, but not out. I'm thinking Master Cylinder, but don't know much about hydraulic systems. is there anything i should check first? haven't disconnected or anything, so no way to have introduced air as far as I'm aware...

 

Check for leaks elsewhere in the system, usually master cylinders won't fail like that (But they can).
