Hey guys I got two questions.

First: What is the easiest method for cutting the holes for the mastery cylinder for the clutch in the firewall. What is the method that you prefer.

Second: What are the advantages to running a steel braided line from the master cylinder straight to the slave cylinder, and completely removing the other s*** that comes on a manual S14.

Reason for the questions is because when I swap my RB25 into my new S14 I need to do the manual conversion.

Whole saw are right hand drill. That is the easiest method. steel braided from the master cylinder to slave the easiest or get the hard line.

Does just running a steel braided line change the feel of the clutch at all like Ive heard?

The only part of the line that would see any difference is the tiny bit of rubber hose that connects the hard line to the slave. It will give a slightly stiffer pedal feel, but it's not going to be an "OMG that's amazing!" feeling.
