5sp is in! (pics)
Thanks to everyone here for helping me through all the questions and problems I had along the way. Everything turned out great aside from the plastic clip/bushing that broke. The piece that secures the master cyl. arm to the clutch pedal. It was easily repaired with a c-clip.
Here's the finished product:
Surgery^^^
Clutch^^^
Trans^^^
DONE!!!!

Your car does look good, especially w/ those rims.-- I just picked up a T5 to swap in. I can't wait to get it on the road!

Looks like fun! How much more fun is it to drive now? Also, you think the tranny is going to hold with your engine?

Re: 5sp is in! (pics)
Thanks for the comments. The car is definately more exciting to drive now.
As far as longevity, i'm trying hard not to beat her as this is my only means of transportation for now. I have ripped on her a couple of times and she flies through the gears no problem. Already raced and beat a WRX STi, Audi S4, and third gen Formula. The Zoom clutch works nice. I think by going to a lighter flywheel (16lb.) it's not sending as much shock to the drivetrain but that can be good or bad. Bad as in less inertia torque, not sure yet. Haven't had any problems. But good as in more hp up top and waaay quicker revs. The Pro 5.0 shifter is really precise. Highly recommend.
I've also herd about taking it easy on third as this is the weak spot. Alot of times my friends killed t5's when slamming third.
As for all you attempting the swap, do it! The hardest part was taking out the auto (messy) and the pedal assy. (cramped). Just take your time and triple check your measurements before you cut. The t5 is soooo simple to swap out should you need to. Good luck.
