Very soft brake pedal after changing brake lines and bleeding


Recommended Posts

So today I changed my brake lines in my V7 to Stainless lines as well as replacing fluid with Motul 600. I have bled the brakes using the two person method the same way as I have many times before. When I started car and push the brakes they extremely light, almost no resistance. If I pump the brakes a few times they stiffen up a tad. There is no fluid leak as the fluid level has remained the same after pushing brake pedal 10 or so times. I gravity bled it once (took ages) then used two person method second after it failed.

Am I missing anything? I didnt let the brake system go dry and fluid was always in the reservoir.

 

Only think I can think of is that the calipers lost fluid when I took the line off and maybe doing the normal bleed technique doesn't quite fill up the calipers enough? Is there another process if replacing the lines?

I have done brake line change in an MX5 and had no issues.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
