Some parts are not worth the money you spend. Its not that hard to do if you have the right tools and a garage. I only spend $10 on a used pedal and 25 for the new master. Lines and screws were about 5 so all together $40

VS
Pedal 350+ master cylinder 110 = 460

I'm sorry but 400 + is a lot of money for me,heck u can get a nice clutch upgrade for a little more labor.

I believe the wires you found under the dash are to the stock radar detector that was an option when the vehicle was purchased. I have one in my sc also that i dont use at all. I think its like a PK-1000 or something like that. Nice to have though

Lol the only stick I'm shaking is the shifter left to right to make sure its in neutral before i start it.

I believe thats your WOT transmission kick down button, you can push it like a button.I guess at WOT it changes the tranny down to even lower gear.

perhaps you maybe right. for me. i happen to find a SC300 manual in the junkyard. i didnt pay more than 50 bux for the complete clutch pedal assembly and that included the slave cylinder, lines, and brake pedal.

i would probably complain a little if i had to buy them new. but i'd find a way to get a discount or something. anyway. back to topic. lets see this baby get built!

so started taking this damn bumper off. i thought it would be an hr job. the bolt diagram makes it look so easy.. well it's not going into it's 2nd day of trying to get this off tomorrow. the nights are getting colder now so my work time has been cut shorter now(sad face).

these damn clips were annoying. iam going to replace them with zipties so i don't need them




took some time out to do a side by side comparo fo the stock fogs and the odessey fogs iam gonna use. i have to do some cutting but looks like it will work...





so iam putting these stockers up for sale . uncracked or yellow. $70.00 beans plus shipping.
