Turns out I had a MASSIVE air bubble in the lines. It just took 4 sessions of bleeding the calipers to get it out. I still however am having an issue with the pedal being too soft with the engine running. Plenty of pressure with the engine off, but half the pedal is mush with the car on.

Well, it's good to hear that it was just an air bubble. Did it improve the braking system issue at all, though? I hope you get this problem fixed!

TME Build

This Really is truely amazing. You went from a kid trying to graduate High School with your only experience of building cars being taking them apart and selling parts for cash, spending whatever money you could find on this dream to now where you probably know evos 4-6 inside and out and you almost have a working evo 6.5 TME. Very Impressive! Much congradulations to you sir and you are an inspiration to all in the evo community. Now I wanna do this too.

did you bleed both nipples one brake caliper? remember there are two of them on one caliper the inner and the outer one. i had this issue when i first bought the car, then realized and fixed it by bleeding both bleeders on the caliper!
