    Rear brake pipe

    Is it really only possible to change the metal brake line that feeds the right rear wheel by dropping the subframe (what a design!)? I don't have a lift so will need to chuck it to my local mechanic if so.
    If I had a penny for everytime someone commented on my poor fuel economy, I'd have enough to get it to the petrol station.

    Or you make one that does not follow the same route as the factory one.

    I was thinking that, just poking copper through and bending it to fit. Have you done that succesfully then?
