LOL, thanks. Yeah it's just the pic. It's right in the OEM chasis spot for the factory 5spds.

No vlsd because 1. im not rich, nah im kidding, couldnt find one, just wanted to drop this one in. I can probably drop this tranny and swap out in no time. Went with the exedy stage 1, ( i think its aka the 5th gen clutch also). I think they are around a half inch thicker than stock? I don't remember, didn't compare the thickness when I had em off.

Nice job TJ. Looks like you're going to have a lot of fun with your car now.

Just curious ... But in the picture of your clutch pedal installed is that you're stereo wire there? It looks like 4 ga? You could run 0 ga, and that could be could next project. Or maybe a custom trunk?

You can do 40-50 mph and a stop sign is coming and you mash the brake and the pedal feels beautiful, comfy, firm and as you press it down the car just completely stops on the dime.

Or, "better" was easier to type. Stopping power is amazing.
