I found mine super cheap. Just a bit more than an R ecu, but it's manual, so it's ten times better than an R ecu.

Agreed!!!
Maybe I should sell the 2 extra ECU's I have and save up for a manual one.
But first have to figure this intercooler issue or what ever it is out.

Front mount time? I can't wait to put on my front mount. 28x9x2.75. Pretty big, should do the job quite fine.

Oh, and I'm officially done with my junior year of college, just finished my last final, still hasn't hit me yet that I'm a senior in college. Anyways, just drove the car around for one last time before it goes under the knife tomorrow. I've only been waiting for this day for like six months.

Thanks. I'd say they're definitely worth looking into, replace all those curved hoses plastic/rubber hoses with metal and silicone. Plus your intercooler isn't heat soaked anymore.

Looks like you got the pedals in ok.
How bad was it for you to do?

It was super easy for me. I have heard everyone complain it was super hard!

My dad actually did it for me, I was working on some other stuff, I checked on his progress, turned my back, looked back at him and he was done. He must have only been under there for 15 mins.

That is about what it took me to get them in. Took me about 10 to get the single pedal back in the other car.
