cookie cookie cookie??

hahaha, excellent, they may look gay but they're not queer......

Ok Mr Wee's, my mates had half a dozen or more movies night at his place and its been awesome. nights with a full moon suck though. So if your Wee's, who is pooman?

who's the head critter behind this carry on? a mate of mine has a field for a drive in. unfortunately he recently pulled down the screen as it was made from untreated timber and was rotten. I shall put you in contact with him if you wish...

I have retired one of my merc's, and the other is not legal. perhaps I should bring my matt red and white courier spec rolla wagon. Let's see if we can out number the escorts with poverty pack rolla wags.

LIES!!!!!

Yea, I should have thought twice before posting that brain fart.

so conditioned I am to thinking only guys owned old rota's I thought, 'that fella driving that 808 has nice legs, I wonder why he's wearing shorts in this cold weather' ...... I knew a chick a while ago who had an RX7 and a 3 coupe so I really should know better.

as long as its halal pork.

excellent, I will have to attend, if for nothing else than to harass Fred about his Hyundai. again in my DTM racer, (that's Deutsche Taxifahrer Meisterschaft )

Thats good news. But do not be concerned about history repeating. At the very end of the master cylinder is a port that goes to the fluid reservoir, when you push on the pedal the piston goes past the port covering it so it can pressurise the fluid in the cylinder and feed it to the brakes, When you take your foot off the pedal the piston comes all the way back again and uncovers this port so that fluid can again flow into the cylinder to compensate for wearing brake shoes/pads or out of the cylinder due to heat expansion or runout at the drum/disc. If you adjust the pedal so that there is no free play this port can be covered. it takes a while but eventually due to heat expansion of the fluid (it expands more if it contains water) , the whole system becomes pressurised and holds the brakes on. as you experienced. I hope this information puts your mind at ease. as a side note, brake fluid is hydroscopic, which means its keen to absorb moisture from anywhere. especially the humid auckland summer air. this is why brake fluid needs regular changing. The situation is made worse by old braking systems that don't seal the fluid from the outside air. I assume that this is probably the case with your car. A ridiculous situation really, why the auto industry continues to use this stuff is beyond logic.

yea, I was being a bit mean, I'm usually a megasquirt defender but by a product of their firmware and hardware design they are vulnerable to noise issues. something oem and higher end aftermarket ecu's do not suffer from. though in value for money stakes they can not be beaten. I've learnt sooo much over the past decade of DIYing EFI with megasquirts as my ecu of choice. A nice install is all they need to be reliable. at one stage I had 3 cars all with megasquirts and all reliably daily driven for a period of time. what punk is describing sound like a lose connection somewhere.

A sure fire fix of any megasquirt is to remove the ECU from the car and place it in a good strong vice, do the vice up nice and tight till you hear cracking and breaking noises coming from the ECU (do no be concerned with these noises as they are essential to the process) once the ECU has been compressed to a ~10mm thickness the process is complete. if this helpfull tip is not to your liking then checking spark plugs and ignition system is a good idea as a missfire due to a dirty plug or a weak spark can cause the ECU to loose sync and cut all spark/inj events causing nice fresh air to enter the exhaust system via the engine. it mixes nicely with unburnt fuel and when the engine turns back on it all gets ignited give off a loverly loud bang and sometimes nice flames too....

drums are just awesome, they take allot less pressure to activate than disc so the miss-adjusted brake master would not need much miss-adjustment....

It could also be a jammed up brake calliper (im assuming is has disc brakes) either the piston or the slider, but the likely hood is that its the master cylinder. It'd want to pull to the left or right if a calliper has jammed, a symptom you'd definitely notice.

sounds like the brake pedal has been adjusted just a little to much. I may be able to help. let me know if you still need aaaaasssistance,

Well slap my arse and call me spanky, I might attend this one. ill bring my 80's German taxi.

I can do what ever you require also. I have much experience with the squirt of mega.

Is that Santa Clause in his 30's? hahah

Woohoooo...... cool car dude.

mmmm tits....
