Those master cylinders are trick! I haven't seen those before (I'm a rookie sometimes), where did you get them?

The rest of the parts are ok, I guess...:)

The dual master cylinders are from CNC Inc. They have an adjustable balance bar but i'm still going with a adjustable proportioning valve with it . This particular application is best suited autocross

Very cool. Are you going to stick with the iron heads? What's the plan with the turn signals? I like the new autometers, any idea what they are going to look like in the daylight?

I just got the engine dyno'd recently and the combo with these heads seems to be making decent power with 9.5 comression so i'll try them out for a while . the nexus autometer gauges are as bright as anything in new cars these days and the controller they come with lets u adjust the brightness and change between 8 different color combos .

Great car. Love the new technology. I like your mastercylinder setup but you mention that its only really good for autocross. Why is that? Although I have followed this movement for sometime, I'm still learning new things everyday. Great to see members from the Great White North. Any special cruise nights in the Calgary area? How about road trips or Rod Runs including Banff and Lake Louise? Keep up the great work.
