I recently bought an axio 2007 X grade model. I've notice that when i start travelling after some time the brake stucks and back tyres skids. This becomes smooth after sometime of driving. I'm very new to this forum and and this is my first vehicle. I might be missing some basic information. A kind help is much appreciated.

So most of you are aware I own an old Toyota Starlet. One thing I had neglected to get fixed immediately were the brakes; they were there, but they didn't have much bite when slowing from high speeds. Since I had to do a timing belt change as well, I never really pushed the car beyond 70kmh, even on the highway. However my procrastination came to bite me in the ass last week when I crashed into an idiot in a Vitz who cut into my lane from Hemas Hospital trying to a U turn and stopped right in front of me. It was like a movie playing in slow motion, I stood on the brakes and hit the car just hard enough to crunch the bumper, left signal light and slightly bend the fender. Things were sorted out, but suffice to say, it was completely my fault because I put off maintenance. Turns out, both discs and drums need resurfacing, along with new brake pads all around. The worst part is that I don't really put off maintenance either, but for some reason I had put this on the mental back burner, and instead focused on trivial things like broken power window switches and door panels.

Hi experts, I have read a bit about power brake booster and came to know about hydroboost. Hope you experts know more about it and kindly share the knowledge about hydro-boost / electric brake booster for the master pump. Also Is it possible to convert a normal vacuum master pump in to hydroboost? I am having a 4DR5 jeep and willing to experience this conversion if it is possible. Kindly share your idea, experience, knowledge...anything. Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi, I want to whether it is possible for convert the rear drum brakes to a disc brakes in a 1999 Honda Civic EK3 Vi. If it is yes, How much it will cost(approx) Can it be done at any garage If it converted how will the hand brakes going to work Thanks in advance (sorry if this post should be posted under Honda category rather than in general)
