This is a lot harder than any of you let on

No one said it was easy, we have just made it easier

Perhaps if you tried it through a standard lens and not the fisheye?

Actually its just barrel distortion from the 10-22mm lens. Ultra wide angle, but not fisheye

lol dirty much!?
Gosh I thought mine looked bad during my drawn out very problem prone 5spd conversion!

lol good luck! It's definitely not for the faint of heart, but I basically learned most of what I know about auto mechanics (or at least my biggest stepping stone) by doing my 5 speed conversion!

A lot of the guys on here really know what they are doing and for them they could probably do it in a day! (exaggerating)

Keep going though, it's definitely a huge reward driving it when you are done! I literally felt like I was driving a new car, it really opens up the potential of the motor! I felt like it had a lot more torque!

PS: my conversion was before the day of tom's wonderful kit and such.... so it could be worse... a lot more people have done it now and a lot more people are there that can answer your questions. = ) good luck!
