Slp line lock - Advice

[ayabrego]

Thanks but no thanks...



I finished installing and went to bleed lines. After all of that went to drive it brakes are working but still real spongy I tested the line lock it is working but not holding the tire after so much torque. Could this be due to air in the brake lines?

How did you test the line lock? Did you rev and dump the clutch or did the feather the clutch and just keep giving it more and more gas? If you dont dump the clutch, there is a chance the car will still move forward. Even if the tires are locked, you will still make the slide against the pavement

Lets see I believe that I revedd it and than poped the clutch and it started sliding forward not sure if the tires were rotating. My brakes are spongy though I guess I should go bleed them again. Oh well it gives me something to do!

any thoughts?

you don't make enough power to push the car............ something is not right...... bleed the brakes again

you see how little the car moves, just a bit once it's loaded, this is with a blower and 4.10s

Turn off traction control.

If the brakes werent bled right would it cause this? I do plan on doing it again the brakes are spongy not like they use to be.

I used to special bleeder for my brakes. My car would barely stop after the install. I ended up using this http://www.harborfreight.com/brake-fluid-bleeder-92924.html It works AWESOME!!!!

I got it!! The bleeder valve was still loose not to lose but it was loosing pressure to the pads. Hey If my brakes are still spongy and I already bleed the brakes twice. Is their a bleeder valve on the master cyclinder? I still feel like their is still air in the lines. Other than that line lock works!

If the valve was not completely tight, you got some air in there as the brakes were releasing. Go through and bleed all your brakes again.
