Default Just installed Tick Master

My motor is out of the car but it only took about an hour by myself. It would have went alot faster if I had the recommended assistant to thread the bolts for me. Either way the instructions were great and I had no issues except that you can hardly see this nice piece once it is installed. Damn brake booster. The big wire harness fought me a little but not bad and I also removed the spring per Tick's recommendation. Can't wait to drive this thing.

The spring on the clutch pedal, TurboZ28408.

We can't wait until you drive that thing either, 03 BUSA. It's nice to have locals that run our products with success! That beast is going to shift better than ever before.

Thanks Joey, I will see you when Jonathan gets my trans done. I appreciate all your guys help.

And for everyone else looking to replace their master, you would be foolish not to get this setup. Price is not an excuse, you get what you pay for.

Let us know how it works out for you. I just installed mine a few days ago but it'll be another week or 2 before I get it off of the jack stands due to other projects. That MC install kicked my ***. The brake booster is in the way, the big wire harness is a bitch and my arms were all scratched up from jamming them in places they shouldn't have fit. I installed it by myself but will definitely have a helper next time to line it up from inside the car.

Just got mine put in last week with a new clutch. So far so good. Once the clutch breaks in I can give it some hell. I have been more then happy with it as compared to the stock unit that was on its last leg.
