I think I have just about posted this everywhere now (youtube, Facebook, VHS tape mailed to grandma etc.) But I can't believe it drove!!

So below for your viewing pleasure.

Now a question. I remember reading somewhere about better brake pads but can't seem to find the thread. The brakes were a little dicer than I would of liked.

Once again loving this build!!

congrats! great feeling, isn't it?
regarding brakes, I'm assuming you've got the stock manual brakes w/ the kit. I found that I couldn't stop reliably until I got the brakes properly bedded in. you can also consider switching to Hawk pads.

Just do a "Brake Pad"search. There are quite a few threads. They will have the different brands & compounds the guys have used to replace the FFR units. I went with HAWK HP+ pads. Stock ones were not safe IMHO.
