i still love tinkering with cars,,,, but im MUCH prefer driving them and so aint touch my scoobie cause i want it on the road

its also why i never cossied the BM that i wanted to do, the stress that comes with cars aint worth it to me

also why i never got another cossie
i make you right though mate, i was happy for my escort to be on the road and get it out whenever i could. i sold the mk1 because i didnt want a long long project, i like tinkering and engine swaps but probally wont do another project like my escort again - after putting an engine back in it

done a couple masters and slaves on mr2's over the years now,
sounds more like a dodgy master in my opinion tbh
clutch is just hard to bleed cause the pipe is so long and master is tiny so no real pressure to force it thru,
dont be scared of pulling the box out to do the clutch either, its actualy quite easy, used to be able to get it out in around half an hour when my mate kept smashing them apart on his turbo

if the pedal is on the floor but the clutch has engaged then that would seem to sugest that the slave is working and the fault is in the master
