Cut me some slack Kyle, it's easier to get to the oil drain plug when the engine is out.

Just saw this, haaaaaa YEAH RIGHT! JUST a shifter. That's how it starts...

Nice ride man.

Sure..

After the shifter will come some exhaust, then maybe a cold air intake, "for gas mileage" of course, Then maybe find a good deal on some wheels, do a little tuning, tear the clutch out might as well upgrade while you're in there, etc. etc. I say stock lasts no more than 6 months... lol Nice car man, wish I could afford a DD like that..

Glad I could help, and sorry about your luck. You made me laugh though

Thanks everyone, I'm not sure what's going to happen....all I can tell you is that right now I'm not planning on doing much. Although, I did order my shifter today....that was way too quick.....
