Ive Now Gone Manual!!

[Grechie]

hey guys, ive finally got a manual in now, and i love it!!!

we picked up a T5 from boronia last sunday moarning, i was wrapped, seein as im finally going manual after all these auto days...

on wednesday me n my old man pulled out the auto n thats it, took us 1 hour 30 mins (my old mans 56 yrs old) so he was still happy with that result....and thursday we did nothing

friday, the big day, we managed in 3 hours to put the manual in and bolt up everythign except for the pedal box and clutch cable etc

then saturday, the completetion day, took us awhile, from 10:30am till 4pm to get everythign done, but we managed to get the pedal box in no fuss but out was a real pr!k lol but after all this hassle, its working, with a total time of about 9-10 hours TOTAL, im real happy, and i love its power, certainlly more pickup hehe

for the record, im using my EBII Auto ECU fine, it for some reason has a limiter change from 5500rpm in the auto to just under 5000rpm in the manual, so i was thinking about using the EA manual ECU so the limiters avoided, im using a 3:27 dif, and im using the same speedo gear from the auto 4 spd in the manual now so it shouldnt be out....

so yeh i thought id post my thoughts, i LOVE 5 speed!
