I think your strut tower brace will be fine. No worries or anything. If it doesn't, take it out. Doesn't really do much anyways. Yes I do have one, but I didn't pay anything for it.

nice. i have a yz125 with nothing except a 49 tooth sprocket. im kind of a new rider, been doing it a little over half a year. lol in my last race i placed 7 out of 8. wahoo

he has some nice stuff on his bike as well, but my favorite mod is the pro circut t-4. definetely brings out the sweet 4 stroke sound

its even more amazing now

a guy is coming up tomorrow to program the key so it will be running w00t.

still have to figure out the splicing for the doors/windows/mirrors (basically all the same thing), but Greg (Roo) is going to help me out with that. He also helped me figure out what was wrong with the electricity, just a cable missing from the positive terminal to the fuse box (doh). stupid me but o well

so it turns out that the key needs to be programmed by the dealer, basically the car still won't work even if he programs it. so now i need to figure out a time to get it down to the dealer and get that done

damn
