Maintenance Questions

["Sean Spurlock" <sean_dmc1@xxxx>]

Group,

Being a new owner, I am already having problems with my car. The 
brakes need a little help. Here is the problem. When I apply gentle, gradual 
pressure to the pedal, it will go almost to the floor, and then catch. Even 
then the grab doesn't seem very strong. Despite this, when quick, abrupt 
pressure is applied to the pedal, the brakes grab fine and hold strongly. 
What is this? Is my master cylinder going out? I need help. Where is the 
best place to take it...and DeLorean specialist or a local, common brake 
repair facility (ie Midas). Any info would help. Also, there is a fiber-like 
covering directly in front of the belts in the engine compartment. It is at 
the very front of the engine compartment when you are facing it. What the 
hell is this. Is it made of asbestos? I hope not. Mine has been shredded by 
a broken belt I think. Where can I get a replacement? Any info would help! 
Thanks!
