Won't stop stopping????

[Hey-U]

I recently added a new M42 with DASC super charger and mega squirt to my ride. Also added was a UUC big break kit. The brakes keep locking up after driving it for a short period. I have had the BBK off and inspected a couple of times. Thought I had it solved. From cold I pull out of the carport to wash the car, left the car running while I washed it so that it would warmed up before I took it for a drive. Goddamn it, the brakes had locked up sitting in the drive way before I even drove the car. Next I turn the car off and the brakes let go.

Any suggestions would sure be appreciated.

This could be caused by improper adjustment of the link from the pedal to the booster. If the rod is adjusted too long the booster might not be "shutting off".

[Hey-U]

Thanks jlevie. I haven't tried that one.

Hi Weeburn, Do you have the UUC big brake kit?

[Weeburn]

No, they're stock, but I figured if the problem ends up being with the booster/pedal pushrod as jlevie suggested in both of our threads I'd like to know, it might give me an example.

I learned quickly if jlevie gives his opinion on your e30 you listen lol


too many threads where he makes one or two posts to help and boom problem solved...as long as the op is listening lol

[Hey-U]

Turned out to be a faulty booster. All is good now.

do you have a build thread for your car? DASC'd squirted M42 sounds pretty sweet to me!

You're not allowed to post things like that without having a proper thread to back it up man.
