...sort of. I drove her .7 miles around my aunt & uncle's neighborhood today. Throttle response is great, Ansa exhaust sounds mean, clutch feels great and she shifts really nice. Brakes work great but the pedal is so sticky that I have to get my foot under the pedal and pull it back up!

I love motoring in my new GT! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

Sure you have a return spring on the brake pedal, heh.

Good idea there, mate- the very same thought crossed my mind! I can actually hear the spring when I move the pedal. Perhaps it's rusty? The pedal is rather tough to pull "up" right now.

Agree, if spring is there. Just clean up the pivot bolt and lub.
