I learned in my buddys 02 WRX STI. I stalled 9 times in less then twenty minutes. But I wanted to learn so I didnt ruin my new maximas clutch because the clutch only had 100 miles on it...Poor maxima thats love right there.

Took some photos. Contents of the box/items on ground include eyelids, clear sidemarkers, crown royal shift boot 8), 6K Fog HID Kit, and a 280 Tint certificate all from my loving girlfriend for Christmas

Ralco STS installed. Had to make the hole bigger because the ball would not fit and remove all types of parts which took two hours too install. Wasnt happy about that but happy on how it came out though. No longer feels like a mac truck.

Its like a whole different world. Automatics are boring. Ive had more fun in the last two days then I did with all my years in my Auto. Although I would of loved a 6 SPD ill take it

Not a huge fan about the crown royal shift boot... You started off with a nice platform. You should give me your coilovers. Ok, thanks. Bye.

Previous owner probably swapped them in because I can see that the door cards are cloth. I think they even switched out the trunk burger for the 5.5 one, too.

Clean car, OP. I wish mine looked like that, especially with the drop.

Congrats...I did something similar. I learned how to drive manual in my boys 4th gen. A week later I got my 5.6 6mt. I got the car with 131k. Now car has 150k clutch is still strong, maybe because I never beat on the car .

5SPD FTW. Only took me a week to find and a month to buy, had the owner hold it for me. I don't have a garage haha so I am waiting for Spring/Summer but I plan on getting JWT Cams, OBX V2 Headers, Berk SRI, But mainly focusing on appearance as I am looking into entering it in shows. Tints, have some coilover work to fix, I have a bad wheel bearing hope it last until Spring. Little stuff.
