Keep us posted on how you like it. I have a spare transmission and have been thinking real hard about doing the gear change.
Bought 2 of the new P5 tee shirts from Rickman's Summer group buy.
You should too!
You should too!

Few things:
You do NOT have to drop the tranny or any mounts.
You WILL break the plastic flute inside the outer cover (just helps move the fluid around a bit)
You will need 3.5l of fluid (Gm syncromesh here)
RPM at 110km before 3300-3400
RPM at 110km after 3000-3050

I've never even heard of a gear change...wha?
Played with the front bumper cover and passenger headlight again (they aren't lining up properly). Made a bracket and relocated my coolant bottle. Made a bracket and installed the WeaponR oil catch can. Went out to Advance Auto and bought things for my AFC install and things to hopefully fix the front bumper cover and headlight allignment issue. Pics in a moment...
Finally uploaded my pictures from a while back...

Project for tomorrow, replace pads with new Porterfield RS4:
Oil build-up on AWR pan #2
There are some more random pictures of my intercooler piping and junk in here

I haven't been able to pin-point where the oil is coming from but I'll try tomorrow when I work on the brakes. The first one leaked real bad
That Corksport kit looks nice but I hope for the money they have brackets on the IC or some sort of mounting system. I'm tempted to see if I can just buy their pipes... maybe I can reduce the amount of couplers I have. Or I should stop being lazy and get some bends and redo mine nicely with welds etc.

Yeah my MAM piping is looking a little rough too. I'm also looking to run a BOV in the future and this would be a fresh start. I could also utilize an intake like the Injen or something. From the pics it looked like there were a lot of mounting points though. I didn't think it was too pricey (remember the cost of the MAM and Perrin FMIC's?).khaosman said:I haven't been able to pin-point where the oil is coming from but I'll try tomorrow when I work on the brakes.

I've also been having a perpetual oil leak with my pan although I know exactly where mine is - it's in the way I have the return line connected to the pan (hose and nipple) the clamp always seems to back out a little after a while and start leaking. This last time I teflon'd that sucker up like crazy so I'm hoping that fixed something.
