That’s weird. I didn’t think I said anything wrong.

Crap, mike
I'm sorry.
You going with the bigger 'box now?
I might be interested in your old one if you're getting rid of it, would be a good project, as I'm going in a different direction.....

Again - I'm very slow to reply (you know, that whole having a life thing ), but it was great to meet you too! I loved the S-Squared stripes, they look great.
Next time we'll hang out longer, but my brother-in-law (Franco) was with us and he's really shy.
I want to try the karts!

I gave serious thought to the 6MT, but I don't like the cost:benefit ratio. $6K before installation plus a new downpipe just isn't in the cards.
I'll probably have MPJ throw in a new clutch while they're at it. Maybe the Exedy Sport. I thought a bout a flywheel too, but I need to be able to drive around town.

280 3rd gear dyno pulls probably didn't help matters any. What's surprising is that there was no warning. 3rd worked fine all day Friday and Sunday morning. I've never had any grinding in 3rd.
Mike originally told me it would take a week to get the tranny from Rallispec and a day to do the swap. I *should* be okay for Buttonwillow.
I told Terri it was coming out of the wedding funds, but she didn't appreciate the joke.

Well, it looks like I'll have to back out of Buttonwillow. MPJ doesn't have any RA gearsets ready and won't have the parts from Rallispec in time to build one and install it for me. Mike was kind enough to offer up a used 6MT at an awesome price, but I would have to change out my downpipe because the cat would hit the bigger 6MT case. Since I have the Vishnu signature exhaust, no other downpipes will mate to the remaining components so I'm screwed. I'm going to call Nate tomorrow and see if he has any other ideas. I just don't want to go with another stock 5MT because I know it would just meet the same fate as this one.
Frustration is my word for the day.
