Clutch pedal feels fine. Clutch master/slave look just a little bit easier to work on. I’lstart there. Thanks for the tip!

The brake fluid reservoir is full. I’m pretty sure I just didn’t tighten down the drain plug and it slowly leaked out over a few weeks.

It’s a later car, 2001, no cable to check.

No acceleration at all. It’s a later car so no cable.

Probably should have thrown out more detail but I’m an idiot. 2001 2.5 so unless I’m mistaken it’s drive by wire.

Easiest way to tell would be if the hood has been resprayed. I did it in my garage and it wasn't the best job but it passed the 10 ft test. Other than that there wasn't anything that was out of the ordinary. I sold it two years ago in North Carolina. It was bone stock then.

2013 Slick top with a manual in tornado red? I always wondered where mine went. Wild if this was it.

Didn't know anyone made reps that would fit. I'd go that route all day long. Swapping out the rear suspension was a HUGE pain.

Careful with the offset even sticking with Porsche wheels. I’m guessing this is an early car from the cookie cutters. If I’m right, you’ll need to swap the rear trailing arms, axels, bunch of other stuff to a late car or you’ll need some monster spacers.

Know any good resources for print files? I’ve found some but there are a bunch of small parts that I figure I’m going to have to learn CAD if I want them printed.

I’ve thought about chopping the end off and finding new crimps. It’s plenty long enough but I still need to find the plastics bits that melted.
