First drive after huge brake problems....
The poor car has been off the road since november last year while I tried to solve my brake.
Have changed caliper seals, master cylinder, booster, pads, built a pressure bleeder, and finally the brakes are working again. Feel a bit funny but they pull the car up good which is the main thing.
Anyway, drove it for the first time yesterday.
Sitting at the lights feeling the vibs from the engine, watching as the whole car is shaking, and the poor aerial doing it dance. The lights go green and the engine starts to purrr, open it up on an open road and listen to the rummble coming from the twin exhausts, getting looks from everyone I pass.
The ride is a bit rough, its loud inside, a few things creak, and the engine really needs a tune as it goes through heaps of fuel.
Oh isn't it just heaven. :D :D :D :D :D
(Sorry I just had to share that, cos it felt so good).
I drove my mitsubishi today, and I already miss the Vette :crazy:

Re: First drive after huge brake problems.... (MadPhil)
Congragulations on the fixing it. That seems like the same experience I had when I first got my car. I love every trip I take in it. :auto: :hurray:
