Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

        Most threads I've read regarding sinking brake pedals have been due to the Master brake cylinder. wait for the guru's to chime in tho

            Either:

            a) Air in the brake lines (try to bleed the brakes to rid of air in the lines.)

            or

            b) Faulty Master Brake Cylinder (with the car off, pump the brakes until the brake pedal feels firm and hold. If it's faulty, the brake pedal will slowly descend to the floor.)

                it's the brake master cylinder. you won't see leaks from it because it leaks internally. later.

                    Brake master cylinder. I had this problem before it just goes to the ground after press several time. I would do this soon as possible. Manual braking hurts.

                        lol
                        Another easy was to tell if the BMS is bad or going bad is to look at the booster. The booster is painted, brake fluid doesnt like paint. Brake fluid leaks on booster...eats paint.
