so i'm about ready to give up on my 244 and its brakes. here's what i've done:
replaced both front calipers, all the pads all around, turned the rotors, replaced master cylinder, and bled the brakes about 4 times.

I've still got no brakes. when the car is off, it seems like the brakes are building up pressure. when the car is on, the piston pushes out (i saw this when the MC was off) but there appears to be no pressure in the brake system. no bubbles in the tube when i'm bleeding it and now for the first time since i started the brake job the brake failure light is on. and there are no visible leaks.

...wha's goin on?
