broke my throttle cable so I bought a universal one from the auto parts store. Worked pretty well, but I have to fab up a new pedal bracket.

New exhaust welded up. 2.25" with X-pipe into a dual flowmaster 40. Sounds great!

[ballski]

no those are just adapters. I should be getting new rx-7 calipers for the front so I can throw those back on.

5lug swap too? Ended up doing z3 hubs or something? Let us know what you end up doing with the brakes - it looks like you can use e36/46 rotors and calipers as long as you integrate a 20mm or so spacer in between the caliper bracket and the mount.

who wants to come help put my flares on!? no motivation in this snow

I'll supply the Fat Tire ;)

[ballski]

yea I kept the other wilwood stuff, but i wish i went with a better pedal assembly. I'll look into that down the road

[jalopi]

My face when I realized the hydraulic TOB is cheaper than what I've spent in slave cylinders so far. Please do post an update on how it's working for you in the future. Also, what master are you using? Is it the wilwood slave/pedal combo that e30v8 recommended?

[ballski]

I ended up using the RAM clutches hydraulic TO bearing and it's been just fine so far.

Thanks and I can't wait to get the flares on too; such an eye sore right now

[dirtbag30]

holy wow that thing sounds sick.

[mbonanni]

Sounds awesome. excited to see it with flares

[jalopi]

Grats bro, what did you end up doing with the clutch? Also, pics of the modified drivers' side header?

From what it's looking like, hydraulic TOB is the way to go
