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!

If anyone lives around the Hermosa Beach area and wants to come to the Ruby's Car Show, I will be there from 3:30-6:30 today with the Z

Hope to see some there

Great car, and excellent shops with the water, clouds and mountains in the background!

Thanks everyone! There will always be more pictures coming! Hell, still haven't done the photoshoot yet for the Promo for Weber Sports..

Have to figure out when we are doing that as well haha.

As for the wheels, every single time it is a labor of love lol..

If I take my time on them it can take an hour and a half for just the wheels easily.

Thanks for the compliments! I wish I knew how to photoshop that well haha

Funny enough, all of these pictures are completely unedited. No photoshop whatsoever. The ones with the clouds and mountains up in Palos Verdes was all unedited too. We had some bad wild fires near by and the smoke being blown towards the ocean made for some badass pictures with the sun
They are also taken from my Samsung Galaxy S 7 haha, not even using a real camera.
