Absimilliard Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I guess I'm boring! I drive a 2007 "liquid grey" Ford Focus SE. Only weird thing I did to is put some Superman carpets in it. Great car, no problems and is great in winter (important here!). The dealer even gave me heated seats and heated side mirrors (perfect in winter).

ParkTrips Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Brakes are way underpowered, if I got bigger wheels, I could get Corvette calipers. Seriously? Cmon.. few cars need big brakes... yet alone a Malibu... I'm sure you'll get by with the stock assembly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaceace12 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Brakes are way underpowered, if I got bigger wheels, I could get Corvette calipers. Seriously? Cmon.. few cars need big brakes... yet alone a Malibu... I'm sure you'll get by with the stock assembly I will get by, but they are so horrible designed, the pedal is soft as can be (and I have replaced calipers and pads and bled the system). I have driven quite a few cars that all have 10 times better brakes (Chevy Colorado {whiplash stopping}, Ford Crown Vics and Grand Marquis, Ecoline vans {wheelchair style}, Grand Am, and virtually all the cars I have driven have had better designed brakes). And it isn't just me, it is all my friends who own malibus, some have even swapped rear brakes from Aleros to have rear discs (helped in stopping distances). My next car won't be a Malibu anyway, I am done with them unless I can afford a brand new car, then I am going with a new Camry or 08 Malibu.

TheStig Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Have you checked your brake master cylinder? A leaking master cylinder could lead to bad brake problems and exactly what you are describing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceace12 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I am not loosing brake fluid. OTher than the engine noise that has recently started and a few other problems I can't fix due to no money, the brakes are fine mechanically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStig Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Ummmm....you dont lose break fluid with a leaking master cylinder. The seals in the master go bad and allow fluid to get past them causing a loss of pressure and "spongey" pedal feeling. You should have a mechanic check it out. Also how many pot brakes are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceace12 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Well the thing is, that I have driven perfectly fine 2000 malibu and the brake pedal felt the same way, so I am sure that there is nothing wrong with it. It was my friends and he knows when something is wrong with his car. anyway, if anyone ever considers getting a 97-03 malibu, have it checked out, I didn't and paid dearly. 2 lower intake manifold gasketts replaced 2 wheel hubs for the front, they contain both the abs sensor and wheel bearing one caliper had a rip in the dust boot, so I replaced both. That was 1400 in repairs in two years alone, I am ready to get rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheStig Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Washed and cleaned out the E today, took me two hours! My god I love this car. And my amazing bent rim. The end! Another angle. Its always satisfactory to drive a really clean car. Yay all clean. Notice the damage to my quarterpanel. Thank a 20-year-old tire for that. These rims are a b*tch to clean. NOTHING can get the dust off of them, nothing! You might think that washing this car is easy because its a box, but christ it takes me twice as long to wash this than my Buick did! All this junk I need to take upstairs at home, but I assure you its clean back there now! The interior usually looks like this, but I had to throw some trash away and vaccume the floor mats and floor itself. Before the vaccume process. It doesn't look it but it's really dirty! Oh....there it is! Guess everything in this pile and win a prize! Where'd everything go?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
