Yup, I definitely took a chance. I didn't know anyone locally who'd tried so figured I'd be the guinea pig. Hopefully this next one doesn't fail, but we will see and I'll make sure to post up how it works out so others can make some educated choices based on my experience. Could have just been a fluke as well, so we'll see how this next one works.

Word, I'm crossing my fingers that it works.

Get to pick up the new stereo tomorrow at DHL. I gotta drive to friggen Bloomington to get it though, booo.

And the brake lines are done, front and rear :) The rear was easy, I just had to make a single short line from the master cylinder to the bottom of the firewall as that is where the stock line going to the rears is. Pretty simple, actually just reused some of the old stock line that I had ripped out. Appears to be leak free :D Now that I've done it once, I feel like I could do a better job, so if I have some free time left over at the end of winter, I may actually redo it with stiffer line, and do a cleaner job. But for now it looks OK, and appears it's working so I can at least move on and focus on other things!

Nice. What's next?

Next is to bleed them, then maybe take it out for 1 day if the roads are fairly clear to make sure all is still well. Then reinstall stereo. Then Megasquirt.

Brownman, wanna stop by and help me bleed my brakes?

[awd-drifter]

brake lines looked like it was a fun job ;) can't wait to see this in person brandon. :D

Big thanks to brownman for coming over and manning the brake pedal. Brakes are bled. Took it for a quick spin around the block and they seem to work great! Damn near had a flat tire however which was random but oh well.

Also got some new shit today as well.

Stopped at MAP and picekd up the Pro Sport Boost Gauge and Depo Wideband kit. These things are a perfect match, even the boxes were pretty much the same!
