does the braided clutch line actually make a difference? ive herd people say that with a after market pressure plate etc. the factory line actually flexes... giving a spongey pedal feeling. is this true? is it worth it to change that line? or is it just a fancy add-on?

 

It's quite necessary if you run a heavy pressure plate - I've documented this many times on different cars. With a heavy pressure plate, the clutch will engage very close to the floor. Swap in the braided line and bleed, problem solved - clutch engages in the middle of travel like it should.

For stock-type clutches, you really won't see much of a difference. But, if you have failed hydraulics on the car (like you're fixing to replace the clutch master) I'd go ahead and put a stainless line in there as well. The stock rubber hose can fail - mine did, leaving me on the side of the road.

By the same token, it's also a good idea to put new clutch hydraulics in when upgrading to a heavy pressure plate. The extra load put on the hydraulics can cause old and worn masters and slaves to go out.

thanks dale im gonna go ahead and buy the braided line. Its only 20 bucks anyway...

 

my stock line on my fc failed on me and i was stuck at a stop sign it sucked so i got the braided one its cheap too.....also what bulbs did you use on you dash lights to get them that even?

 

YEP had the same question on the dash lights ( importfever ) the lights look BAD ****

 

its the hyper white leds with one on top and 4 small leds around it all in the same one. You can use any led just look for the one that illuminates the widest beam of light, i added three new leds towards the gas and temp as well, and a hyper red LED needle kit to make the orange needles bright red. Put red behind any orange and its just red, wola. oh yeh and you have to sand the orange off the back of the faces.... not that bad though
