So took my car for a test run today after building exhaust and it has no brakes. The pedal is solid has some give but not much. I did rear disc conversion and bled my brakes and it all seemed right it felt like I had brakes when I was pushing pedal to stop when i was rolling car around but now it does nothing. Took forever to come to a stop at a 15-20 mph roll. eventually it stopped but not after along time. It doesn't even feel like the front calipers are biting. cant really tell if the rear are or not. Any help is appreciated.

I know the line to the manifold is connected. I think i could of put the check valve back on wrong.

This is what happens with my car if I, say, roll it out of the garage while it's off and I push the brake pedal.

It did this with the car on and off. I'm gonna flip my check valve and then if that doesn't work see if its plumbed right. Gonna do process of elimination start with booster plumbing and check valve and work my way through the system. The car has no abs so at this point its a simple hydraulic system so only so much can go wrong. And i know the clutch works just fine and that works of same hydraulic system.

If you did a rear disc conversion my guess is there's a hydraulic problem. The car should stop reasonably even with out vacSeat Shocks....I have passed the baton to John Christy from Ninestitch. Email John or Garrett at ninestitch1@gmail.com

My M3 had very week brakes due to a faulty check valve, and a vacuum leak on the fitting on the ITB that fed the booster.Originally posted by codyep3I hope to Christ you have looks going for you, because you sure as fuck don't have any intelligence.
