What to do when you lose your brakes...

You do know that I worked at a local RX-7 shop for years don't you?

If he said the car he was driving shared a reservoir, and you know that all RX-7's come with separate reservoirs from the factory, what do you think the context clue was?

He quoted my post where I referenced an RX-7 and said "that car".

YOU were talking about an RX-7. He made no mention of what he was driving.

Post exceeds 172 character limit.

I have no idea what you are talking about. 1st gen RX-7s and all other RX-7s have a separate reservoir for the clutch master cylinder.

For a self-described smart motherfucker, you sure are a dumb motherfucker.

I set the fastest lap of the day at a race with the clutch and brake pedal laying on the floor (they share the same fluid on that car) the whole time. I had to use the ebrake to bring the car in the paddock.

You just suck.

Lol. Probe much?

Had the brakes go out in my lambo as I was winning at Bonneville. I just opened the door and slowed it down with my left foot, Flintstone style.

Going 172 mph?

[71chevellejohn]

I had slowed down to about that before I threw my foot out there.

Pucker factor is off the charts! He or they are very lucky to be alive. I think there were 2 people in the car...

It's almost impossible to believe this guy exists ... yet here he is.

Sans the brake/clutch reservoir issue and the desire for another 50+/- tq it was a blast to drive. Big gokart really.

Driving a friend’s S10 home from work one day while going 70mph on I-35E north bound at the point where the bridge ended and it went down to two lanes entering Lake Dallas (this was before they widened it to three lanes) Traffic stopped in front of us. I was in the left lane by the way. I hit the brakes and heard a metallic PING as the brake pedal dropped to the floor. Turns out he didn't do as good of a job on his power brake booster swap as he thought and the master cyl came loose from the pushrod. It was the scariest damn thing ever but I managed to squeeze in between the wall and the cars in front of me, and slowed it down stopping just before the inside shoulder ended. Took me 20min. to calm down enough to try and move the truck. I I did eventually manage to get it off the highway and even drove it back to his house engine braking and using the parking brake. I never drove his truck again.

What about race cars with no e brake like most drag cars.
