Installed smaller clutch slave cylinder, and hydraulic line, as per @Ultramoon's great how-to. I can definitely feel the difference: clutch feels tighter, more controllable. The hydraulic line from Chase Bays helps clean up the area as well.

Here's @Ultamoon's how-to: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=77390

Here's instructions for the Chase Bay hydraulic line from @ck-GT86: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...&postcount=169

Had to put a new battery in the key fob I've been using since May, 2012. Pretty good life expectancy there...

I wish I had a key fob...

Anyone know if the automotive locksmiths have figured out how to program master keys yet?

Two weekends ago I washed, clay barred the paint, washed again buff drying with a microfiber towel, then applied Meguiar’s new silicon ceramic wax with misted water followed by one more buffing dry with microfiber towels. One week later, after baking in in the hot hot sun...washed with Meguiar’s wash and a second application of ceramic wax. Looks mavalous
