Brake Stuff..

Yeah, I modified a Limp Bizkit song for my latest title, why? Cause they're awesome....yes....I said it, the band named after a bodily fluid soaked biscuit are awesome. And I instantly retract it too, cause they really aren't.

Anyway, the POS is back in my possession! However, only one exclamation mark to that event, for there is an issue; be it through improper brake bleeding, a malfunctioning new Master Cylinder/Servo unit, the brakes are severely lacking, in all senses of the word. Having just done a quick drive on some of the country roads around here, I've noted that the pedal barely opposes the foot in its travel, with little resistance, and easily reaches the end of its travel. Bite is severely lacking, however, I can manage it for now. It's a dampener to receiving the car, but I am hoping it is easily rectified.

Anyway, the garage replaced the old brake piping with some nifty copper piping, and I also took the oppurtunity to remove the ABS pump as well! Not as much of a weight loss as I had hoped, but every little helps regardless!





At least now the lack of ABS pump has also cleared way for a decent air filter arrangement, especially for the larger turbines when they'll be used! So, that is now, what of to be? Ok, that makes sense in my head. Anyway, I will now concentrate on getting the new 4E-FTE ready for installation, and hopefully get that installed. Ummm, that's about it.
