master cylinder - I hate when people use abbreviations because i feel all stupid when i dont know what hey are trying to say. I have know idea why I use them sometimes. lazy i guess lol
the idea is we ditch your OE master cylinder and replace with two compact billet willwood master cylinders and ballance bar. a bracket has to be made to mount the master cylinders to the fire wall. stock peddle essembly would be used. I'm making a bracket for the spicy so I can make another for you if interested. your build is crazy enough to warrant a full aftermarket brake set up.
nowadays a good time to do it
Oh, nice. Would you be able to give me a quote? Im actually in the process of trying to make things work for the braking system. I also would appreciate if you could provide a turn around time for it because the MC would be something major to consider especially since im trying to clean up the bay. I'm really going to have to see if i could fit this into the budget if it's ideal. Sounds like a great opportunity. Money is always the deciding factor for these kinds of situations. XD

Chris, that sounds like a great option. Noah and I are going to work things about and possibly we can get something together for the break booster set from wilwood.

*Signature Sound*Good progress on the wiring again this weekend. The loom is awsome to work with. It expands like crazy which helps to go over connectors. Then tigtens back up for a super nice look and VERY strong protection.
Once we figure out what holes will be used, we can weld all the others shut and start smoothing the bay more. Heres a pic of the nice routing for the headlights.
we took the opportunity to mock up ANOTHER first for he protege: Signature Firewall Vanity Panel. This will be available for anyone that wants to shave the bay without having to take the dashboard off to weld all the holes and smooth the firewall!! It bolts on using the existing studs and can be configured for custom or standard brake boosters. The aluminum sheet is made from 5051 and is .100" thick (Nice and sturdy without a ton of weight).

The head gasket will drop it from 9:1 to 8.7:1. This is perfect for my level without bottom end power loss. =)

I definitely love how it looks also. It's going to be looking really clean and sleek. I can't wait to get it back.
I love the wire loom you're using and used the link you provided but I still can't seem to find it?

Could you help me out please? I've got a swap coming next month and would love to use that expandable stuff you used instead. Thanks in advance!
