Very interested to hear how this works out for you!

 

Me too. I'm hoping the reduced pedal effort will allow my wife to drive the car so she can see why I love it so much. Had a good conversation with Sean as well. I had never done business with SRM before.

 

Holler if you have any questions or there's anything missing from my write-up! I did it mostly from memory and kept losing posts so hopefully I've missed nothing.

 

My SRM master arrived yesterday and I installed it last night. I started bleeding it and it was looking promising. Had my wife come out in the morning to help me work the pedal while I bled and it was getting sooo close. Then the air started pouring into the bottle like a microburst! FUUUUUUUUUUUU Did I let the bottle go dry? Nope. The Motive just decided to pour in a bunch of air instead of choosing the fluid in bottle. This is turning into a $500 clutch bleed.

 

Looking forward to your review. I run a Spec single disc that has nasty metal pucks on it. It is cheap but effective. Pedal feel and control is like a light switch. It is streetable with the gt2 setup but not the most fun in traffic. If this can solve that it would be awesome, maybe I could run a Spec stage 4 even.

 

Fill the reservoir fairly full, slightly pressurize the Motive with a decent amount of fluid in it and watch as the fluid slowly climbs the clear tube, as it nears the top screw the cap on! You now have a small air bubble, a near full reservoir, and can pressurize that puppy to like 20-25psi. Crawl under and crack it and be ready for a blast! If you don't crack it too far and have a bottle with hose you can clip to the nipple you can even get out from under and move the pedal. This should give you enough room to not get air in there and be able to get it bled if you've got enough fluid in the Motive. FWIW, I didn't think twice about reusing the clean fluid I pulled bleeding to refill the Motive when needed, this sucker isn't seeing heat or craziness like brakes...

 

Yep, that's about what I did. It's just all of a sudden the Motive decided to feed in air instead of the fluid. Maybe the straw inside is loose. I'm thinking of buying the Schwaben pressure bleeder.

 

The straw thing on mine is molded into the side of the jug, it's off to one side so just make sure the fluid is filled enough and the bottle isn't tipped over. This took me all of about ten minutes once I switched to the good bleeder. Might just need someone to hold the bottle upright!

 

I finally got the 911 back on the road last night.

I took apart the original master last week and found there was a broken plastic piece inside, I think related to the internal stop. The SRM master was very nicely built, but it didn't work out for my application. It just didn't push enough volume. Sean is standing by the part and taking it back no problem, and sounds like he is going to work on a part that pushes enough volume for a GT2 slave. I'll be in line for that.

I installed the stock replacement GT2 master after bench bleeding it and I had pedal pressure immediately before even bleeding. It took barely any effort to bleed then I was on my way.

It's kinda weird that the master revealed itself to be bad during the bleeding process, but I guess this stuff happens.

 

Wow that stinks, sorry to hear! I've wondered how Sean's part would work with the slave from porsche, I've got no doubt he'll have a part built soon as most of the hard work is done and it's a volume issue. Since most have the catch point too high he just needs to go slightly lower flow than stock I think?

 

In this picture you can see the little amber piece next to the round amber piece. That is one of the legs broken off the internal stop.
