No I didn't get it for a good deal. I brought the kit from mojo performance with brackets and wiring harness. I suddenly have a change of heart and might be selling my car and whole setup. Too much of a money pit. I still have clutch and fuel lines to buy.

^^^ gotta go to florida to get it. R154 is pending sale and the rear end is still available. I guess I never thought I would spend the money for one but I don't wanna have to deal with a blown up r154 later. Now i just gotta worry about my motor blowing up lol.

I don't think 1000 will ever be in my plans. It's too expensive.

congrats on the 6spd man.

definitely replace the subtunnel. everyone i know who "pounded out" their tunnel fking hated their sc afterwards because of the noise and heat issues that follow taking these kinds of shortcuts.

I am most definitely replacing the tunnel. I want it as factory as possible. I will probably gut the engine bay and move things around. Things just turned serious with this 6 speed so I will try to make it look as good. i don't want a fast car that looks like crap.

So I went to get my 6 speed should be here thursday or friday. Man everything that deals with the 6 speed is freaking expensive. I still need a flywheel and clutch which cost about 1k+. I have to figure out if I want to spend even more money to get that thing in my car. Decisions.
