I bought this thing in October, and it's finally snowed in southeast Pennsylvania. I've been wanting to test the ABS brakes, and I found a 1/2" of snow on the roads. Anyway, the ABS makes a rapid grinding*/pulse in the brake pedal, instead of slower on/off pulse I'm used to with my Jeep's ABS. Is this normal for Celicas?
*Grinding might not be the best word. It's more of a 300 rounds per minute sensation.

i honestly thought it was my master brake cylinder and brake lines. but i see this is common for 6gc
although with my car at 145,000 miles it wouldn't be bad to go with new lines and new master cylinder i would get this pulsating/buzzing noise when going down driveways that are real steep where I would go in sideways. the different in road contact allows the abs to act funny. lets say i were braking hard from 80-0mph and i went over uneven road surface on my right tire only, it would make that slight grind noise. oem master cylinder is expensive. i was thinking about going with raybestos abs. that'd be a good deal right??
