hey man nice build. I'm only 20 and its getting hard to find kids like us that dont have mommy and daddy pay for their ride or have people do their mods for them. I like doing things myself too and everything thats ever been done to my car was done by me, your sig is right theres a certain sense of pride when you do and pay for things yourself sadly it seems like we're a dying breed of kids today especially since most think their 2dr civic with an intake and exhaust is the new "fast" ride

Welcome to the forums! I am from Naugatuck, I got my car when I was 17 and still have it. Just about to put it back together after huge motor build. I agree about seeing more kids these days having mommy and daddy pay for their stuff. Thats OK though, more and more kids are having Mom and Dad buy them Honda, Accura, BMW and Infinity garbage. I remember when I was in HS, there was only 5 of us who had American Muscle, the rest had Street Racing Syndicate crap with big wings and go fast stickers.

Tick Adj master cylinder. And welcome! Im 17 from Jersey. Im just like you in the fact that I pay for EVERYTHING. The car itself, insurance, gas, mods, etc. It may take a little while but the satisfaction in the end is all worth it...

this is a tick master cylinder lol. The stocker is barely enough for the stock clutch let alone now that its older and your putting in a better clutch. My buddies have this in their cars and it makes the car so much nicer to shift. its worth every penny lol
