Looks good man! Glad you decided to keep it and do the engine swap, looks like everything went well. If you want a center trim panel w/ a tan shift boot for it I can send you my old one whenever I have some extra cash to ship it. I bought one with a black boot off ebay a while back and have this one just sitting around, and it looks like you've got an auto trim in there.

Btw how does the ES feel with that stage 3 clutch/flywheel? My clutch is completely out now so I'm looking at a centerforce stage 1/fidanza flywheel combo right now. Want to make sure the pedal isn't to stiff because it's driven daily and in traffic a lot.

Lovin how your car has turned out!

thanks... yeah i thought about it... and i just can't let her go...


but ... the stage 3 clutch is super STIFF... lol goes nice with the fidanza flywheel... nice grip and no slip... only thing thats going to slip is your tires.. hahah.

i wouldn't recomending getting it if your in traffic alot...

i've tried launching with stockclutch...and all i felt was the clutch slipping...

and when switching over to stage 3.... all i felt was the tire slipping lol.

the good thing with the fidanza flywheel is that i could just replace the center portion and replace it without resurfacing it...for $50 and perfect surface everytime...



and yeah i'm using the auto trim... lol

if your planing on selling your trim... how much are u selling it for... and do you have any pix?

Right on! Yeah I had a feeling the stage 3 would be rough, so I think stage 1 is the way to go. Just need something stronger than oem but still driveable on the daily. Will definitely have to get some grippy tires too. I used to have no problem getting them spinning on the stock clutch, so after the new one goes in..

And I will just send you the shifter trim, don't worry about payin for it. I would probably end up tossing it if it sat around much longer, and I don't mind helpin out a fellow 5 speeder. Just pm me your info and I will try to send it out this weekend. The boot is in decent shape, no rips or tears.. and the wood is still nice and shiny. It just has one little hairline scratch/crack in it, barely noticeable! My camera is busted right now but here is a pic I took some months back after I first got her, it's still in the same condition.

Nah dude its all good. I only paid like 10$ for the one off ebay, and I'll never use this one again so I'd rather see it go to someone who can use it! So don't feel bad or anything.
