Sorry fella, only joshing! That\'s your brake servo, it magnifies the pressure you apply to the brake pedal using the vacuum genenrated by the engine when the throttle\'s closed. You defo wouldn\'t want to remove that.

but just for a laugh and so you know what it does,  pull the rubber hose off that goes to you engine and then go for a very slow drive down the road,  you will learn that vacume assistance on your brakes is a good thing......

Ah it\'s all good, we\'ve all gotta start somewhere! Seriously though, the FD engine bay must terrify you. I still feel a slight rush of panic every time I open the bonnet, so.....many......pipes.....argh!

You keep asking those questions mate. It\'s only stupid people that think they know it all and don\'t ask questions. We are all learning every day, so don\'t stop, keep them coming. :wave

We dont have servo assisted on the drag car. But I wouldn\'t reccommend it.
