Looking good, G

I know the driving around for no reason routine. I'm about to take a short break just to stretch her legs a bit. She's been on jack stands for over two weeks, and I've had no time to work on her. So I towed her to the shop last night, and Kevin had her ready this morning

Thanks brotha!

Oh yeah, used up a whole tank of gas on the 4th of July. I know I wasn't supposed to be driving with all the cops out, but a one cop that pulled up next to me gave me a thumbs up.
Usually they pull me over for being young and in a nice car lol Surprised not one cop did through 7 different cities that day.

Of course that tank didn't last more than 225 miles... wonder why...


Congrats on the car getting finished up, What all did you have to do on it?
Hopefully your drive is as good as mine was!

I installed the new RJM HD CMC and the latest pedal revision. Had some issues with the bleeding and kept running out of time, so I went ahead and towed it to the Austin Z Clinic yesterday, which thankfully is located in my neighborhood. Kevin installed a new slave cylinder I provided for my Z1 kit; I had ordered a replacement last week just in case. So new master and slave cylinders plus new clutch pedal and a good bleed = Now everything feels exactly like it did before icon17: But no more worries of the master cylinder failing

I really am tempted to post up the receipt in the CSC failure thread. The line item reads "slave cylinder remove and replace" for $180 There wasn't any removal because I had already done it. But Kevin put the new one in, bled the system, and then did some adjustment to the slave linkage for proper engagement. I think I might make one additional minor adjustment when I have it up to bleed the brakes in the near future. Other than that, everything is great.

I would say go ahead and do that, it would be a good idea and plenty of the DIY guys would probably go for it.
Sounds like with the new setup you will definitely have a good drive! Try and make the tank last more than 225 miles lol...

At least you've eliminated many issues with either slave cylinder anymore. I still have my new ACT Clutch, and RJM pedal sitting there waiting for install. I haven't decided on whether or not to install the pedal by itself or wait until I have to do the clutch and pressure plate and flywheel again. That way I'm not doubling on labor and fluids. I want to get the RJM master too just to eliminate most if not all issues with clutch engagement, pedal feel, and easy of shifting. I may pull that trigger here soon. Just all depends haha


Thanks brotha! I love the paint color and how it came out as well!

Awesome!! I was wondering if the person who had the first kit from the East Coast was on the forum or not! Hopefully one of these days we can all make it to Z Nationals or Z Dayz or something big like that, Have all 3 kits in the US at one location!
