feels completely stock (except the beast of a clutch I have), it may as well be stock though. all stock parts, I even got my gauge cluster swapped to the 5speed one completely reliable.

Hey good to hear you finally got it in! Can you do a little write up on how you jumped the neutral starter? Those electrical diagrams gave me a headache. Thanks!

Congrats getting it done. How did the subtunnel work out for you? Are you having noise issues... fairly common if not done correctly. You seem happy about it so I guess you don't have any problems.

When my mechanic cut about a 3" section ot of the backside of the tunnel for the shifter, he moved that piece of tunnel forward and welded it back on to make the hole smaller. Noise is not an issue because my exhaust is pretty loud anyways, but I don't notice any noise coming from the tunnel.

"finally" lol, I got the parts in from R&J over a month ago and had them in my car and running about 36 hours later dropped the car off Thursday night, picked it up on Saturday! Where have you been JSpec3
