Installed a JWT clutch and flywheel along with the wildwood master cyl and single line.
The flare nut somehow fastening tight before it crimped the line. When it was tight, the line woukd still move and turn. I ended up grinding down on the slave cyl surface to get it to tighten! Just a heads up I would check mating to the slave before you rip everything apart.
How difficult was it to install everything. Next week I'll be ordering the mesh for my Kuruma Z. I'll be installing it myself as well and, getting it painted.

easy for me..I dropped it off at the shop. I definitely dont have the time to be doing it myself nowadays. Though I did do some testing with the parts to find out what Id be in store for.
All the polyurethane parts needed holes drilled. The front bumper fit great. The side skirts, the ends stuck out about 1/3rd inch so a little bit of work needed to be done to get it more flush. The rear bumper is pretty spot on besides near the rear frenders, needs a but of trimming and grinding down to flush it out. The hood was a great fit. I needed to install new hinges for the shop because the originals were fuked and would cause the hood to catch the body every time it would get raised. The trunk fits great as well too.
Taking it back tomorrow to actually get them to spend a couple days prepping the hood and trunk. The entire kit needs a good run through with a "fine tooth comb" so to speak to get edges softened up and to get all the pieces flush with the stock body.
I could be a bit more specific. I got the car back in this state because the shop was going to be closed sat-monday and the owner is like, why rent a car those days, I can just give you your back until tuesday. Iv been able to look at everything and see the fitment issues, few but Im a stickler like many of us...especially after paying 2.6k all together.
Swapped out front hubs as one side was groaning from a bad bearing.
$65 posted for the pair with 2 years warranty on ebay so we'll see how many miles they take.
Also one day when I shut the boot lid the Mt Fuji badge fell off but I plan to take the rest of the emblems off anyway.......
I know most people remove all BUT the Mt Fuji so here's a pic for those interested in the opposite
Sorry, I thought I had replied. Swapped back to stock for a few reasons. The main one being that one of the ball joints had a bit too much play, and since I was replacing everything to get rid of a clunk noises it came off. I didn't want to wait for a replacement to show up.
Another reason is that my car isn't that low (3/4" w/ OEM Z springs) and I originally installed them due to extreme camber wear. I later figured out the wear was coming from bad compression rod bushings: wheels went toe-out under load causing inner tire wear. So I figured I would be alright with natural camber for now.
Latest mod: installed Invidia dual exhaust with poly hangers. Had to grind off the rusted bolts from the Cats then drill new holes for the install. The sound: Beefy!
It was most surprising how this one upgrade balanced the entire car. Much smoother responses on shifting and acceleration. Very pleased.
About a 15 minute job if you know what to do from doing the driver's side last year.
$100 down the drain for a new motor though.
Also had to replace the front wheels because of the destroyed bushing that caused SEVERE wear to the inside edge of my driver's side wheel. Looked like 80% tread left everywhere except the inside inch, which had plies showing.
So it's been an expensive month for my car. Throttle body, tires, radiator fan, and oil change puts me at nearly $1k.

I think late May/Early June is the month of G sedans trying to die. Mustangs died, mine went boom, and yours decided to break down!
Made this cooling panel template, going tomorrow to get some metal to start "fabricating." I was wondering if anyone is interested in an actual template? (being that it fits and all goes well)
