The only time consuming part is getting the line back in.
Some tips:
- Use the stock bolt!!!!!!!!
- The angle of the line going into the master cylinder is what will or wont let you get the bolt back in so that needs to be flush with the cylinder. For us it took two people, a pry bar, and a grabby tool.
- Where the master cylinder is it is very difficult to get the line flush because of the strut tower. We managed to have the line come down from the top of the tower to get it flush using the pry bar.

It's even more fun on the 8s! We seem to have a little less room.
Turco and PaulTypeR ended up getting mine squared away, though, with their super secret technique.
Did you guys end up disconnecting the braided line from the hard line on my car?

ok, good news and bad news.
good: im booked at silverstone
bad: the ferrari experience is full, but i'm signed up for the lotus experience. so instead of 4 laps in an exige + 4 laps in a ferrari, i get 9 laps in an exige. its also slightly cheaper.

Maybe someone will die and you can take their spot?
Edit: Is that too dark?

Paulnsex- you will still have a blast in that car. I absolutely love every aspect of the Exige. Your experience will be one you will talk about for a long time. I would love to have this opportunity. Nothing fancy about it, just a raw full track oriented machine. I am jealous>

i've driven an elise before and it's like a go cart, so i can't really fathom what an exige is like. i know someone who went for a ride in one around nhis and the guy was carving upsome pretty tight turns at well over 80 mph....
