That looks like a lot of work and a whole lot of fun, and the end result should be pretty fun to drive for sure.


if your showing interest, I say go for it!

My old tranny bit the dust, and I have always wanted a manual. I also love a good challenge, and three different guys at work told me that it wasn't possible. I don't know about you, but sometimes the best encouragement is being told that is can't be done.

Oh yeah, I would have to agree with that. Im watching the thread as well out of curiosity. Would be interesting to see how it all turns out.

I will be following this. Something I have always wanted to do but not now that I have a turbo.

I have made a lot more progress. All I am waiting for now is the flywheel. Having a clutch pedal on the floor makes me grin everytime I see it.
