I'm thoroughly confused now... Now my parking brake is working just fine. I didn't do anything to it yet. Wtf?!

Spontaneous self repair. Gotta love it.

It was my most frequent repair on my '95 Celica. Gotta love bulletproof Japanese shitboxes.

Anyone ever use USP's clutch bleeder block?

This one

I'm having issues with it fitting with their stainless steel clutch line.

Are you lubing up the line first? The USP line refused to go in dry, but slipped in as it should once I put sil-glyde on the o-rings. I haven't installed yet (will do that this Saturday), but both ends of the line fit the Spulen bleeder block, so I assume the line will also fit the MC.
I'll be doing that as well as the RSR clutch this weekend.

I'll also be doubling up on o-rings for the clutch line. It looks like USP uses the same hardware as Clutch Masters to build their line, and they use dual o-rings on each side. Double the sealing is always better.

Yeah turns out it just doesn't fit the 6R and I assumed incorrectly.
Will be putting it up for sale soon lol

Yeah, Mk5 R32s didn't get a manual in the US so it makes sense there, but I figured it would fit the 6R because of the other fitment. But here we are

Car is done. Saturday pickup, then 500-mile break-in. Lots of pictures for the build thread inbound. Car is a bit rustier than I thought, but nothing concerning.

I think I'm missing something. What are you building sir? Why is it rusty?

Where has boosted been????? Have not seen him here in while.

I had a bunch of work done on my R including clutch, rear main seal, transmission fluid, haldex fluid and filter, upgraded engine mounts, timing belt and pulleys, water pump, thermostat, coolant, oil change, carbon cleaning, short throw shifters, braided clutch line, new ball joints, tie rod ends, and sway bar end links.

I think that covers everything. Some suspension parts of my car were super rusty and needed replacing (only found out after I dropped the car off), and there is a bit of surface rust on some places. The car originally came from Iowa before I brought it down to Florida.

Give or take, yessir. Very stoked about it, and will be glad to have it roadworthy again so I can continue to beat the hell out of it.
