General Warning (Brakes)
A buddy of mine has a 92 Z. When he went to stop one day the brake pedal went to the floor and nearly rearended someone. Appearently the E-brake cable had been rubbing against the brake line (probably since 92) and eventually rubbed it so thin that when he hit the brakes it busted the line and lost his pressure. So next time you are under the car you way just wat to check the clearance between your ebrake cable and brake line.

yea... i had that happen on my 82.... scared the **** outta me... i was coming to a stop sign at a T intersection... ended up going around a blind corner running a stop sign at like 25mph to keep from crashing.. 25mph is alot for a sharp right turn like that...
the other thing you should check when your back there is to pull the cover off the drums if you have them... you see ANY leakage at all, dont drive the car, just replace the Cyl ASAP.
