    Don't forget the spare tire. I use one off of a protege.

    The rubber brake line in the rear is tight. I use two brake lines tied together with a short premade hard brake line bent in a u shape.

    Camber bolts.

    Replace the MC with an Aspire unit next time you replace it.

    Nows a good time to do the Rio struts and top hats.

      will be getting the spare from the trunk of the Aspire..... that will work..... although I would really like to order a matching one for the car and not have to worry if I have the money at the time to replace it.....

      ok noted!

      Replace the Master cylinder? that is already getting replaced!

      Rio struts and top hat that won't lift the car while offering better performance?

        Rio strut mounts don't lift the car, they are just a better design.
        You only need the Aspire outer tie rod ends.
        Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.
