well after my dad used my car, i noticed the brake had to be pressed a little more to kick in, i turned off the car and pumped the brake and i got it how i like it then turned on the car, went back to how it was before ... is there another way to make the brake pedal nice and stiff ? im sure i need new pads too

Sounds like you may have a small leak in your mastercylinder or in the slave cylinder. Could also just be a matter of perception too. I know this becuase sometimes when I drive customers cars at work and then get in my Z I think someone has been messing with everything becuase nothing seems where I left it.

I though I was the only one that had that problem.

well this is what i can come up with .... older drivers like to pump the brakes as though the car they're driving doesnt have ABS .... thats why you get car sick riding with your parents, this causes the problem ... and please stop picking on me about the head gasket, i know im a poor fool and thats why i still havent replaced them
