Its Soon Time!!!
So I haven't posted a new topic in a long time, since my Dyno Flop. But I have new wind in my sails as I purchased the first part of my 6MT swap... an STi Pedal Box, lol. I'm going to visit my mom for 2 weeks and work with the family bussiness and earn the loan she's hooking me up with for the swap. More than likely, I'll have Tom (TomsSVX) come out and do the swap (and give him a westcoast vacation.) I'm really looking forward to getting rid of my 4EAT, starting to hicup a bit..., and put more power to the pavement and get serious about my NA upgrades.

the 4eat is a joke, mine has less than 10k on it and it is acting like it still the factory unit now, oh well, if I keep the car i just need to MT it then... have you talked to Tom? is he really going to come out there and set it up?!?!? that would be extremely nice of him... even if you paid for tickets and housing... it would be quiet kind of him! GL and glad to see your on track!

Just got back from visiting my mom. Busted my butt helping out my rents. I helped install a 27' above ground pool, helped the family bussiness, and did tons of installs on my Dad's F-350 Dually. For the HUGE amounts of help I brough over 2 weeks the 6MT should be here really soon. When I got back home today I had a box waiting for me...
My STi Pedal box!!! Oh, and the kitten is new too... Thanks Mom!

Tonight I told Ryan he's going to be the Picture Taker guy. So we'll have a great step-by-step photo shoot. My plan is to do a write up for Subie Sport and try to get it published.

gest24 or kerry,
wish your swap go smooth on the next following days. I will be happy to see your pictures progress or the write-up later. How many miles on your SVX now? How many miles and what year on the 6mt STi tranny that you purchased? Have you done any research or got any info of the 6mt svx vs 5mt svx from 0-60 and its 1/4 mile? (say the engine is stock for both) Have fun!

Thanks for the support guys! Didn't think I'd be doing this mod after only owning the car 8 months. But hey, after my mom got me into Subies and turned me onto the Alcyones (XTs and SVX) I'm going to do my best to make and keep my Pearl a great car.

Glad you enjoyed the trip Tom. And I'm glad that the swap went so well. Kerry put alot of pre-thought and planning into this endeavor and it paid off. I'm sure there are places Kerry had hoped you would've gotten to see but time didn't allow it.
But hey, there's always another time for "fun" visit. I couldn't believe the amount of homes in those pictures, I don't think there's that many in the whole state of Mississippi.
