    Drove to Sydney on the weekend to get the WRX re-tuned with a new Process West Verticooler (a lot thicker core than my current set up) and a new Process West Cold Air Intake.
    Also had a new MAF to go on but that ended up being a dud, eBay rip off which made the car run like crap.

    Went from 246kws/708nms of torque to 257kws/783nm.

    Pulls like a god damn train.

    Ok guys I think I've goofed something on the Corsa.

    A few weeks back I replaced the brake rotors and pads on the Corsa. When I was doing this, I ended up taking the calipers off completely because the rear pistons were being a problem trying to hold them with one hand and rotate them back in. I did have the bleed nipples open to make sure the fluid had a relief route. Anyway, so I basically lost all the brake fluid out of the system and had to do a full bleed. I did this before on the Astra with no issues, and set about doing it on the Corsa. I managed to get all the air out of the system and bled through a further 500ml of fluid to make sure there were no lingering bubbles. The pedal felt firm and nice. So I put the car back on the ground and took it out to begin bedding the brakes in, however it was immediately apparent that things weren't quite right. The pedal was very mushy and I could push it to the floor without getting much braking force. So I turned around and had a look. The system is still fully sealed with no fluid leaking anywhere.

    Initially I just thought this was air still in the booster or ABS unit or something. But I've just tried to bleed the brakes again and noticed that the brakes are rock hard and nice when the car is off. I can hold pressure on them and the pedal won't sink or anything. However, as soon as I start the car the pedal goes mushy and travels right to the floor and if I pump the pedal a few times it doesn't change anything. Once I turn the car off, the brake pedal feels firm again.

    I have read that it could be something to do with the brake booster or master cylinder.

    Does anybody have any thoughts or have you experienced this before?

    Had it on a holden ute, was because of a leaking calliper, held pressure until the booster kicked in.

    That would result in fluid loss and a visible leak from one of the calipers though right? I've got the car up off the ground and all 4 wheels off and nothing seems to be leaking anywhere.

    Maybe inside the dust seals? Not sure what they're like on those.
