brakes fd3s

[rx7veilside]

any ideas my brakes are just adequate..have tested servo by pumping pedal with car off and pedal goes hard and when u start car it depresses pedal a bit but out on the road takes a lot of pressure to pull me up and even then it isnt biting hard more of a gradual process..am just waiting for a ap upgrade but someone said i might have a master cylinder problem anyone got any ideas..thks:confused:

check that the pistons aren\'t siezed in the front calipers.

I had the same problem when i aquired the car, it turned out that although there was plenty of thickness on the old pads they seemed to have gone hard, i tried scratching them up a bit but still no good, fitted a new set of "blue Print" pads all round, no problems now! i think the old ones were just too old!

If you need a servo / master sylinder unit I\'ve got one on a 94 FD thats being broken.

Let me know if you need it,

finally solved it with a feed larger master cylinder pedal now rock solid:)
