    Hissing noise when brake pedal pressed

    So, IJ, where is the pedal height retention test in the TSRM? What does a test at less than half operating pressure supposed to measure? It is not a leak spewing fluid OUT. It is a leak letting air IN! Per TSRM troubleshooting, there is air in the system. Either by external leak (allowing air...

    Hissing noise when brake pedal pressed

    I would also recommend a new OEM master if yours did run dry and get damaged. Used brake parts on a car that goes 160mph are ????? I'll still bet on a caliper bleed screw or a bad washer though, as those are what were initially removed. Call me when you get a chance...

    Hissing noise when brake pedal pressed

    Damaged bleeders. One looks OK, but the seat is grooved and doesn't seal. You can feel the ridges with a fingernail dragged across the seat surface. The other shows just what kind of debris can hide out in a bleeder, and what happens when corrosion takes over. Trying to bleed this clogged...

    Hissing noise when brake pedal pressed

    Please note the first step in the TSRM for the brake booster check is to fix all leaks. The spongy pedal (engine off or on) indicates a leak according to the TSRM. This must be fixed prior to conducting booster tests, otherwise test results are invalid and could be caused by the leak...

    Hissing noise when brake pedal pressed

    TSRM test for Booster only good when all other brake sytems are fully operational. It WILL FAIL ALL BOOSTER TESTS until the brakes can hold hydraulic pressure per specs. If you are still pumping to acheive pressure, engine on or off, it is a leak in the hydraulic system (per TSRM). Not enough to...

    Fidanza or Stock Flywheel??

    I have been running the HPF Ferramic FF w/new OEM FW and RPS Max PP for eight+ years at 350+rwhp. I have welded the disk to the flywheel several times, each time it was under racing conditions, slipping it off the line, but only once on an aggressive street launch. Each time it welded, I just...

    ***SM member 1/4 mi. times list***

    Haven't been to the track in a while, but was digging through old reciepts and other "stuff" and came across these. I'm #123, and I eventually pulled a decent 60' at 2.223 and squeezed into the 13's with a 13.98 @ 103.59 mph at 1.0 bar of boost on pump gas. Stock: internals, intercooler...

    wheel bearing??

    They're big, expensive and have to be pressed out and back in. TSRM should have the procedure. I did mine many years back using the TSRM as my guide. A decent shop should be able to do it fairly inexpensively, aside from the cost of the bearings themselves...

    How long is that store credit good for? Could you run with the bents for a while since they're free? Then you could keep saving and add to the credit when something comes up that you like? Gives you time to look around for a while, maybe? I thought they looked great! I don't think I would...

    I have Menzari MSports on our other Supra 18x9.5 +38os(r) and 18x8.5 +38os(f). they have a deep polished lip, not a pressed on steel trim ring. They're heavy too,unfortunately, at 26lbs for the rears and 24lbs for the fronts, and they have those blasted rivets that suck to clean around...
