The Cossie Twins

I let the car sit over the Christmas weekend and when I went to go drive it, there wasn't any clutch pressure. Luckily it happened at my parents house so tonight we come-a-longed it up the drive way and now i'm figuring out the problem.

Sounds like a bad slave or master cyl. Does the clutch just go to the floor then stay there? If so, its your master. It's located behind the pedal assembly, which comes out.

Yes that's exactly what it does. I checked the master and it doesn't seem to be leaking.

There's a plastic thing at the top that connects it. It's like a little hole. Mine snapped off (brittle old plastic) which caused it to do exactly what your saying happened. Check that. I believe it connects it to the pedal itself I believe.

Are you talking about the part in red?

[w201e34]

Yes that. Mine snapped off, wasn't even pushing it hard or anything, just gave out.

[Spencer]

Ah, well my piece is still intact, so that's not it! Thanks though!

[w201e34]

No prob! Check that slave as well! It's on the passenger side, right on the tranny. You don't have to drop the tranny either, which is nice.

So I have been neglecting updating this thread. I'm getting my Portfolio ready for June. A lot has happened.

First, I sold the other car (Calvin) to a fellow member of Stance|Works and a friend. So look forward to a shoot when it gets on the road. (I did pick up another car though.)

I have been doing a lot of maintenance and still have a lot more to do. I broke down today and took a picture. I will update this thread more and there should be some good stuff here pretty soon.

where do you find all these clean 190's?

no points deducted when it breaks down and still looks that good

Haha, thanks.

I convinced a kid in Seattle to sell me that one.

The other one fell on my lap. I wasn't even looking for another one and my friend said his buddy had one going into auction. Yadi yadi yada. Some how I ended up with it because no one knew what it was. So

Update:

Sold one of the cars to a buddy of mine to buy a '71 2800cs. (March 2011)









Before I got to lower it and play with the E9 something else came up. So the E9 had to go to make room for the new toy. Wanted one since '95.

Looking good, did you air it out or is it static?
