my brake is soft
when i step on the brakes the first time they go all the way down and barely stop but then i press them again and they are fine. What could this be and what solutions? Nothing leaking.

You can get a SS brake line set from the RX-7 Store or here:

I just recently bleed my brakes too and now they are horrible... the first inital push feels like mush but then the second one feels totally fine it feels like I need to build pressure in the line and then the car can stop. IT doesn't go away either, so after i let off the brakes and continue driving again the same thing happens AGAIN when i want to brake. Could it be a clogged mastercylinder? or slave?

I have a '79, not a 3rd gen but this is the exact description of the problem I noticed. I can pump about 3 times before it feels hard. After letting go of the pedal I have to pump 2 or 3 times to make the brakes hard again.
