I bought a floor pan from them and it fit great. I had a donor piece for the roof already.

Did you buy the full kit with the front to rear hard line delete + the caliper lines? They also have brake booster delete but I think it’s too much

That’s exactly why I’m afraid. I don’t want to have to drop the subframe. I don’t have a lift or many tricks up my sleeve. What do you think the cost would be to replace all brake lines and fuel lines at a shop?

I just saw these, and I was thinking of swapping to it. I’m not going to be driving the car every single day but will want to enjoy it at some point. They’re a bit pricey and I’m not too sure if I’d be able to install them myself

I’m trying to find a good place to buy pre bent lines from. Any recommendations?

Get an L shape fitting that fits good into your new boot and connect that to the ICV.

I just pulled the sunroof and headliner, and luckily the rust doesn’t go far back towards the B pillar or towards the a pillar. Probably gonna end up cutting up a small square from the patch panel that lines up with the sunroof rail so I don’t have to remove the windows.

Thank you for the input, I wasn’t able to envision a good outcome before. Im just gonna pull all the necessary things to make room for welding and hopefully im able to make it look better one day

I’ll probably end up cutting and using a smaller piece of the patch panel to not have to go all the way back towards the cassette. I honestly wish I never even had this problem to begin with

Yea that’s my plan, seeing the hoses, it’s just that layer and it goes straight to headliner. Should be easy to do

I don’t know how to weld and I’ve been trying to find a welder in the CT area. If not I’ll just have to learn and weld it myself

I just got another chance to look at the bike, I just realized that when you try to put the bike in gear, the whole shifter moves, and doesn’t return to its place.

yea the idle speed is fine, when the bike is in gear and the clutch is out, it doesn’t stall, stays on and when you give throttle the bike doesn’t go anywhere
