As weight conscience as you are I would have thought you would have installed an '80's style aluminum master cylinder. Ever looked into that?

Hmmm... didn't know that there is one that would fit? I have no power brakes and I thought that all later vehicles had power brakes..
Which one would fit?

Don't forget pills. Also, once you hook everything up go ahead and spray the fuel/nitrous. No ignition. Pull the lines at the filters/pills and clean out any tape or debris.

Otherwise known as jets...


Description....or perscription
Nitrous Jet (Pill): Jets, or pills as they are sometimes called, are small machined pieces resembling little arrows that offer precise control of the nitrous and fuel flow to the engine.

Why is no one grabbing from the C4 parts bin? I'm going to upgrade to a larger one (need bigger bore for huge calipers) otherwise it looks pretty damn good. The only thing you need to do is expand the bolt holes on the flange to slots as the bolt spacing is a little different. Since the MC is aluminium it's easily done even with a hand file
