Yet another trip down to K.M.S. Car parts. Picked up a new brake master cylinder. I fabbed up my own clutch master mounting bracket. I started out with a blank piece of paper, the firewall, and a pencil. I bent the bracket about 15 degrees, then bolted it onto the firewall. I ended up "tweaking" it a bit more so I don't really know what the final angle was. The pedal feels a little heavy, but not too bad. There is a centerforce clutch in there too so I don't really know what it should feel like. I used the original pushrod grommet but instead of mounting it on the outside, I flipped it over and mounted it from the inside. It covers the entire master, and give me a weather tight seal. I have decided to go with manual brakes so that I can have the best brake feel for my projected road course track days.

Got some more stuff done. Brakes are hooked up and bled. Spent some time in front of the milling machine and made my battery disconnect.

Took the car out of the garage undr its own power!!! fun!!! neighbors love it!!! or maybe not... took it to my friends shop, Custom Metalcraft, (604-468-7702) and started doing my exhaust system. They build a lot of cool stuff there, so if you need anything, give em a call. ask for Ryan or Mike. Tell em Mark sent ya. Anywho. Ya, spent 1/2 a day under the car building exhaust...here's what ya get!

Got more exhaust done today. Still need to do the tailpipes and hangers, but I didn't like the over the counter hangars that were available at my parts store. I'm gonna make something up out of stainless that is a bit more presentable.

I borrowed this wheel from frojoe and set it into my wheelwell just to see... of course the car is sitting way too high.
