Hi everyone. I am new to the forum
 (Just bought a 97 Celica ST around 2 weeks ago) I was driving earlier today, then suddenly, I heard a pop/snap noise and my brake just stopped working. (i.e. I have to step on the brake petal until it hit the floor in order to slow down the car slightly, and I didn't feel any resistant when I was stepping on the brake petal) I drove the car to the closest mechanics available but he won't have time to look at it until tomorrow morning. So, I just want to hear your opinion on what is the cause of the issue because I don't want to get rip off by the guy. Thanks in advance. |

My brake master cylinder went out some 20 miles from my uncle's place. I engine braked and used the emergency brake like a boss to make it home safely.
 If he's replacing the entire braking system on the rear then I suppose $350 for parts and labour isn't too terrible. This post has been edited by Box: Oct 18, 2013 - 5:17 PM -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed
