Brakes:

5/01 - Stock

6/02 - Carbotech Brake Pads - More stopping power was needed in a big way when the car finally started hitting boost.

9/02 - Brakes are in serious need of bleeding since I can barely hold 4psi of boost anymore with out the car wanting to creep forward. I plan on doing this sometime this month.

3/03 - I finally made an attempt at bleeding my brakes but I was haulted when I got to the rear of the car and the right rear bleeder valve was beginning to round off while I was trying to loosen it. So rather then brake it off and not know the consequences I opted to leave it alone for the time being so I could gather more information on what to do about the problem at hand. I was instructed to heat up the bleeder valve and continue to try to loosen it up. I decided to order more bleeder valves before I attempted to attack the brake-bleeding project again.

4/03 - The parts for the brakes came in finally. I spent just a few hours installing new rear brake pads , rotors, and completely removed all of the old brakefluid out of the system and installed new brake bleeder valves. The process went along without a problem and I though that I did a darn good job considering it was my first time for bleeding the brakes. Brake pedal is a tad mushy but it should right itself overtime and if it doesn't I am gonna throw the vacuum pump as far away as possible and buy some speed bleeders and call it a day.
