my bug wrx
#33
pretty pee'vd off at the moment tbh,
i had complained about the brakes being pants on the car when i got it, so upgraded the discs/pads to fast road use, to see only a smaller improvement, after that i installed a brake stopper and again a little improvement, but nothing special.
i had asked the previous owner if the brake pedal had always been low which he confirmed to it had, then today taking the p1 out we have in at the moment i noticed how good the brakes were, along with everybody saying how good a caliper the standard 4 pots are, mine were no better than those on my nissan sunny!!!
so on my back to look under the dash for adjustments, to my absolute amazement the pedal box wasn't actually bolted to the chassi at the top!!! i nearly died.... at the top it fixes to the chassi box section with two 13mm bolts, these lifted the pedal also, a test frive confirmed how good the brakes now were but man an i annoyed,
what idoit leaves the brakes unscrewd!!

still waiting for andy's parts to arrive, so got the repairs done on mine, the majority were slight panel marks meaning i could block them down and just prime them,
