I'm sorry for all the numerous noob questions, but i'm really not too familiar with the 1st Gens. Well anyway, I recently aquired a 1st Gen and I noticed that the brakes are very soft. Soft meaning I need to push the pedle in pretty far to brake.
I noticed the brake master cylinder in the engine compartment by the drivers side looks very shiny like its been recently replaced. And I think the brakes are still good because I don't hear any sounds and basically I just have to push in the peddle really far and then it catches.
Is there a way to adjust the peddle? Or is it really just my brake pads and shoes probally need to be replaced? Or maybe something is not working with the brake master cylinder? Any advice and or opinions would be appreciated. I'm trying as much as possible not to have to take my car in to a shop to fix all the little bugs it has and fix everything I can on my own since it is my secondary "beater" car that I only paid about $200 for. Thanks in advance!
