make an account with photobucket. Upload pics to it, then go into your album. Hover over the pic, and it will give you 4 links underneath it. Left click on the bottom link and it will copy it, then paste it into your post.  :smiley:

Yeh the carrado pedal box bolts straight in. Have you tried turning the master cylinder round 180 degrees. Seen if the rods straight?

Bent a lil bit of metal to weld on the side of my clutch pedal so it meets the master cylinder. Tonight I modded my old ecu holder to fit the new one works a treat:-)the loom is scarin me I won't lie, the mk3 loom comes with two round sockets one for the engine obviously and assumin one for the lights,obviously I don't need the lights so do I match up the looms so there's the same sockets on the fusebox end as my original loom? Please say yes it is that simple lol
