Congrats on getting the swap finished! I'm curious to find out how the pedal feel is with that Howe TOB. Looking for an SC4 right now, first major mod will be 5spd swap so I'm eager to hear all of your impressions.

My "R" lights up when I put it in Reverse, otherwise dark.

LOL comes from the guy that scraped his paint to move the redline up (I like that mod BTW) Since when did you start complaining about a lot of work? I seen your custom catch can.

Hey... Havent wired up the reverse lights or speedo yet (doh)... but... I drove the car 40miles back to my apartment... no issues except that I am really rusty... as in I never owed a manual car! But never stalled it... even with my clutch, the car is very forgiving.

Its awesome... cannot wait til its broken in... likes to slip a little

Interior is torn to **** right now.... car is drty... filled with crap etc... I know what next on my list... put it back how it was a week ago, lol.

Congrats man! Before I got the 300 I kind of wanted to get a 400 and manualize it. Should be fun as hell to drive once that clutch is broken in!!!

Thats shiat was a pain in the ***. Matt had to change the height on the threaded bolt. Wouldn't fully engage then it would partially engage. The foot rest on the side needs to be removed because you can't fit your foot in there without it possibly getting stuck. Clutch is slipping hopefully it wears in or we have a issue......

Clutch is fine.. pedal needs to be adjusted still. Need an actual standoff thats M8

Talking about even just engaging the clutch... the rod had to be modded for the MK3 pedals.... without modification, wouldn't go in gear with the car idling.

Yeah try driving the car like I did and nearly getting your foot stuck in between the floor and the pedal. Yeah don't think so.
