Default Put in the pedals today....

What a freaking pain in the ass.... I think I'm gonna have a permanent catch in my side from being up underneath there.

One good thing though... my wife thought of the perfect tool to get the clutch/brake pedals on.. a metal paint can opener! Once she came out with that it was pretty smooth.

Forgot to mention this....

now that the new pedals are in, it seems like the gas pedal doesn't go down as far as the stock one. Anyone know offhand what the point is where you are at WOT? Or do I now need to adjust something somewhere.

OMFG.... I can't believe I didn't think of that... thanks Dave!!

Once you get that worked out, get your ass to Hooters on a Saturday night every now and then!
Yeah.. I know I've been really bad with that lately
With the stress of getting the house fixed I haven't felt like going anywhere on the weekends...
