Haha if we go for a cruise is everyone gonna pass me pointing and laughing?

You can get 5speeds already imported for cheap. The pcm is available too. Seems decently striaght forward. They are both 4ports after all. Anyway it would be nice.

5spd Tran works fine with the 4 port ecu. You just need to suppress the TCM cel.

Hey shelldude in the future could I perhaps ask you some questions about the swap? Im pretty serious about doin a swap once the car is paid off. Cant find any rock solid details just bits and pieces like in brettus's thread. I miss having a clutch :/.
Im trying not to thread jack, I'm just so curious!

You should have gotten the MR2!! Well as long as it was a 93-95 turbo and not the chick spyder. Lol And I am one of the few 8 owners that could talk your ear off on owning MR2s if you are ever bored.

I am going but unfortunately not bringing my 8. I have to cart a dog up there and I don't want my trailer queen leather interior all scratched up.

That and I'm a wuss....
