Pedals

I've managed to pull together from Ebay again a set of Tilton Racing Pedels along with Tilton Cylinders in order to once again keep costs down. This set new from Tilton would run somewhere in the vacinity of $600, using Ebay, I managed to get the pedal assembly for $150 with cylinders from another user for $20.
One really nice thing about this system vs the old stock system is that this whole pedal assembly (including cylinders) fits within the car. This takes away the need for routing lines to the cylinders through the firewall, making the system much cleaner in the engine bay. This will require a little bit of modification on the dashboard sheet metal to fit the new componentry, and I'll try to post updated picks as I get to that portion.

Wheels and Tires

I've been looking for the right wheels and tires (a good deal) for about a year now. I managed to finally find a set of 13x7 Magnesium Superlights out of Florida (Thanks Rod). Now that I'm going to a 7" wide tire, I'm needing to get a fit-up in place in order to properly determine what width spacer I'm going to need to run for proper clearances. Below are some images of the wheels purchased.
