Re: Anybody ever rebuilt their own brake booster?

Thanks Dave!! Maybe I'll just keep my old one as a core and dissect it for science. I figured that there would be a spring in there, but didn't think that it would be under that much pressure to need a vice.

Anybody ever rebuilt their own brake booster?

Just curious... I picked up a re-manufactured one and the housing that I got from Autozone isn't as good cosmetically as the leaky one on the car. Thinking about swapping out the diaphragm inside, but I have never attempted it. Has anyone done this before?

Re: Do I have to have an adjustable Panhard Rod ?

Just wanted to add that if you like a quiet ride, heim joints are not for you. I definitely started hearing a lot more noise once I installed the bar with the heim joints.

Re: Coil over reviews?

I've had my Megans in the car almost when they came out. I haven't had any issues with them (granted the car didn't move for 3 years). They can be bouncy and I have not tried any other coil over set. I did turn mine all the way up once and caught some air on the freeway when I first had them, but si...

Re: A strange Question

You may want to look at a 1AC motor out of a 80ish Trecel for accessories. They are basically the early 3AC motors and may run a v belt. It's been years since I've seen one in person, but I know that the accessories will fit.

Hello all, I have a complete set of Celica Supra wheels for sale. This is 5 rims and 4 center caps (you should always run a full size spare IMO). A couple have curb rash.

Have someone there with you and hit the brakes. Watch to make sure that the caliper is moving and contacting the disk (without putting your fingers in there. :) ). Maybe the caliper isn't sliding.
