My brother just bought another scooby looks bloody lovely in white
But there is a problem with the brakes .The pedal is so hard to press it moves about 1 inch and doesn't seem to stop the car very quickly

The old owner replaced discs and pads and uprated the front calipers to 4 pots from a sti or wrx or something like that

Anyone able to suggest wot the problem is or wot to check

Also it ticks over very low 500/600rpm how do I turn the revs up

Or anyone local to Bristol able to come round and take a look pls

Well the brakes have been bleed the pedal is slightly better

Im thinking it must be a caliper not realising grrrrr

And to think this car passed a mot on the 6th of this month
So brakes not releasing
Inner cv boot split in half
Signs of a crash as air con rad bent and buckled

So fecking dodgy garage in Cardiff giving out mot tests when the car has clearly failed
But as it was sold as seen my brother can stand to loose it all if he takes it any further. So don't no were we stand now . Apart from spending money and getting it road worthy

Can anyone tell me how to adjust the revs
I found a split hose and replaced that it's now ticking over at 600rpm but the engine is very lumpy. Ideally I would like to get the revs up to 800rpm
Also is there a idle control valve and any pic's please of were it is hiding on the engine

Sorry for all the questions but I no my way round a rb25 skyline engine .but the boxer engine is all new to me

Found the problem with the revs .turns out the engine has a miss fire so hard to tell by the sound I thought it wae running ok just lacking power .that's why then

So for a stock engine and only air filter changed to a cone filter

Wot spark plugs should be in there and wot gap should they be set to .

im going to try and change the plugs this weekend for him .but never worked on a scooby so it may take a while

Ive cleaned the idle control valve and maf .maf seams to be working fine as it stalls the car once disconnected
