And yeah, general is kinda dumb.

It does look nice with no gap - just takes a bit away from the functionality of the car IMO. Nice pics though.

So jake I think the problemo with my tranny is my clutch **** when I push clutch in and put it in gear and keep pedal all the way depressed and let off brake its engaged and the car starts moving a lil. I can only adjust it a tiny bit more before the rod is all the way outta the nut So I think thats the direction I'm going to look at first well that and I want to get a IX turbo too...hmm think I should get a FMIC too I'll see what I can all do in the next few months

So after i launch and go through the gears i can smell what smells like burnt rubber. So I figure its the tires because I still have my snow tires on so i assumed they slipped a little. But I could still smell it like 5 minutes later, I pull over and the smell is coming from under the hood. I figure ok maybe its the belts. From what I can see the belt still looks good, I get back in and drive home. I park in the garage and can still smell it ten minutes later but now I can't smell it inside the car. Well its two days later and i can still smell it when I pop the hood, it smells like its comming from the exhaust manifold area. I thought it could have been my radiator hose but now I don't think it is. The smell is a lot stronger right over the exhaust manifold. Any ideas of what it could be? Any help would be just great!

I didn't feel any slipping at all but it could have
