Not finished with it yet but bought this thing as a basket case literally, almost have the motor finished and getting frame coated and suspension sent off, polishing and fine tuning all the little stuff in the mean time, but she’s coming along, would like to find deal on some carbon frame guards if any exist ( been searching and on eBay ) and a factory / unfinished pipe

Anyone needs any cerakote work done or vapor blasting cases and smaller parts let me know my best friend and I went in on a small vapor blasting machine and he does all the cerakoting too.

Slowly making progress, have had some hiccups with some parts and having to get more suff than I originally was thinking I would, hopefully will have it mostly done in the next 2 weeks minus suspension, plastic and graphics.

Sick build! Im currently building my 01 and noticed your brake pedal in the updated picture. It appears to be an 03+ judging by the bend. Maybe im wrong but if it is it seems to work ok on the 01-02 models? Thanks!

I dont remember now but pretty sure 01 and up was same from that company - I believe its called ATS , they are on Ebay, was way cheaper then a oem brake pedal and fit tight and looked good.

Great thanks for the info! Been pulling my hair out trying to find evidence they would fit.
