hi how are you guys,

im clueless what is happening to my car, the car now runs shit, the symptoms are

Brake: whilst driving, the brake will be soft, then goes harder, harder till da car is draging and if u stop in traffic its hell as the car doesnt want to move, lifting up the brake pedal sometimes while speeding helps it. the brake fluid also changes its colour to a dirty red from yellow/green.( NEW)

what could it be? master cylinder is stuffed??

the other prob is my car cant seem to pickup any speed its so slow from 1-3000rpms it'll lag at 3000 go to 4000 lag agen.... then its quickly start pulling from 4000rpms onwards , from 1-3 its realli slow and at 4 it feels like YEAAAH HEAPS BETTER... but you can see the rev limiter struggling around 3 alot and car runs like shit..

what could this also be?

any suggestions would be good guys

thanks

p.s i just changed the oil. sparks, and fuel filter thats it <---

The pedal issue is likely due to one of your brake pads dragging and heating/pressurising the fluid until they all start to drag. Thats why it's a prick to pull away.

Just be carefull be cause the fluid will boil eventually and then you will have no brakes all of a sudden.

Jack the car up and rotate each wheel to find which corner the problem is on and go from there.

Fix brakes first as they can kill you, then worry about the missfire.

      Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!

      Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up

      The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...

      Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.
