One part that is always overlooked on older cars are the brakes. So while I was in replacing the front brake pads for the state inspection I took note of the condition of the brakes. YUK! Caliper pistons seals looked ok and nothing bound up when I was changing pads but the brake pedal feel felt like a sponge. Add to this 20 year old brake lines and the whole setup was suspect. So I installed new SS brake lines front and rear, and flushed the brake system with Valvoline synthetic brake fluid. The Valvoline DOT4 stuff worked well on my 3rd Gen RX-7 for a few years so should be fine on a lighter "slower" car. While flushing the brake system I saw some of the nastiest brake fluid I have ever seen come out of those brakes. It literally came out in chunks, like lumpy gravy. EEWWWW! Rotors although rusty were mic’ed and were within spec. Good enough for now. I also replaced the clutch line with a SS line and bled the hydraulic clutch system. Brake pedal feel now is pretty good. Still waiting on that emissions test notification though.
