    Most apartments here start bitching the second the car is on jacks. Can't even get away with an oil change at most places. Your lucky indeed

          Clutch came in :D hopefully this thing lasts(ebay special, fx stage 1), seems like some people have had good luck while others not so much. maintenance items should be in later today too!

          Also, should I use these pilot/release bearings that came with the kit or order new OEM ones? or not even worry about it and start slapping stuff together?

                Nice! Get it! I love that you're doing it where you can get it done. Not taking no for an answer. Good on you!

                  Had some free time yesterday, so I did some guy stuff.
                  Got my oil pan off a few days ago and gave it to my buddy to modify. Also spent some time last night getting my brakes and throttle set up. No pictures of that though.

                    Test fit. Going to lower the pedals a smidge, and I still need to grind/file the Wilwood assembly for my throttle linkage.

                      Picked up 10ft of copper/nickel tubing on the old grocery getter. Going to try and keep my ABS.


                      And I got my pan back!

                        pan looks good. I suggest doing a leak test for at least 24 hr. trust me on this !!

                          What would that entail? Fill it up with oil and let is sit?

                            So i removed the two lines that went to the old m/c from the abs pump and have since realized I have no clue as to which line was for my front and which one is for my rear brakes.

                            Or if it even works like that! I'm hoping that it does (so I can set the bias bar appropriately)... Abs delete and booster deletes are pretty common, but I can't seem to find any info on the garagistic delete and keeping abs If anyone has any info, lemme know. I'll keep looking.

                              yes. any liquid. low viscosity oil - used is ok ,or just water.
                              My fabricator has a lot of experience welded in/out and we ended up with a pin hole. Which became obvious after engine was in car and running....

                                I have this set up w/ ABS. just make sure the bias bar is neutral ( equal f//r). I set pedal ht to full ht keeping full thread engagement of slave cyl push rod in clevis. adjustment once installed is next to impossible. Are you keeping the stk 'proportioning' valve to rear brakes ? At the least you may want to add a BBK kit on the front.
