[QUOTE="wayne86, post: 718588, member: 7897"] The buggy worked great on it's first trip out! My brakes pretty well sucked but other than that it did everything I wanted and more. Items to address: Brakes: I have a two master, single pedal setup with the factory one ton calipers. I think I'm going to try half ton calipers front and rear and re-bleed the system. IF they still suck I will go down in master cylinder sizes OR look into hydroboost. I think I can squeeze a hydroboost system in it. Trans Cooler: I mounted it under the passenger seat. While climbing the main road up the mountain at WindRock my passenger had his feet in the dash because the heat was so intense! I'm going to try to mount it under my "trunk" area between the upper links. Trans tunnel panels: I HAVE to put some sort of heat shield behind the panels. It was almost unbearably hot especially since it was 90 degrees out. My leg brushed the tunnel a couple of times and damn near gave me first degree burns. Spark plug wires: I need to put boots on them. One got up against the header and melted a little bit. Nothing horrible but I want the piece of mind of having them protected. Steering: I would be open to your input on. I have a single ended ram and a CBR pump. It was hissing quite a bit. I don't know if that's normal or if I have an issue. The system is bled very well and I didn't notice any bubbles in the reservoir when it was hot. I'm using the Elixor fluid from WOD. Also, if changing the front calipers frees up some room on my reverse high steer arm I'd like to double sheer the mount where the ram bolts to it because it worked loose over the day. Other than that I'm very happy with the machine. Can't wait to get out there again! [/QUOTE]
