Brakes clutch and pedals all hooked up and working great. i cant wait til i get some good wheels. these wheels are making it look like dookie.
Oh by the way. dont get a brake line kit from cip1 it was the biggest peice of crap i have ever seen. i had to pretty much trash the junk and goto the parts store. bad flares and wrong fittings made the job take forever.
