Why might that be, you may ask... Well, Jake just called and informed me that my car is alive, well, and driving, sans an automatic transmission. The conversation went something like this.
"Hey, uh Laurel, your car's done."
"Really? So it moves and everything?
"Yeah, I drove it around for like ten miles."
"How is it?"
"Slow. You really need to do your exhaust and turn up the boost."

And he's working on figuring out the bizarre sound the car makes.

Anyway, my cheeks are sore because I literally can't stop smiling. I'm at work right now(on my lunchbreak currently) and I'm even telling customers about how excited I am.

I don't even know what to do here, I can't make it down to Tacoma to pick it up until tomorrow, but I'm ridiculously giddy. I probably won't be able to sleep tonight.

Thanks to Pacific Import Auto for making this possible!

YYYYYYYyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Are they just doing a 4eat->5mt swap?

Or more?

just the swap

Still
Exciting times

Im stoked to do mine this weekend

5mt swapped wagons ftw

Sweet, congratulations

Jake freaking rules.

Glad it turned out so well for you, Laurel.

So......

Jake can make girls cheeks hurt!

Jake really is the man, then!

Laurel's car's almost like Dante's, but silver. I hope she's not doing it all just to impress that bahstid.

swapping out the 4eat.....thats blasphemy! Trator!!! long live the 4eat wagons. you should have just done what I did when the tranny went in my wagon. just go out and buy another turbo wagon

Nothing like the feeling of getting your car back .

that wagon is gonna be fun as hell!

congradulations- there isnt a better way to put that lazy left foot to work!

I've been relearning manual in an M3.
I'll be glad to have the partywagon back.

What 5mt went in it?

hopefully the Subie feels better, every manual BMW I have driven shifts like total ass

i know exactly what your going through the night i first drove my twag with its 5spd i couldnt of been happier by far the best change to the car yet

congrats.

A 3.9 out of a rolled 92.


I doubt the subie will feel better. The BMW is just a little notchier than an STi, and feels much better.

It won't matter to me though, anything would feel good in that car, to me.

sweeeeettttttt shifting coolness.

them m3's have motor mounts made out of pancake batter. Easy to miss a shift, and they feel like junk.

If memory serves, that M3 has a short-shift kit.

Apples to oranges, people.

What trans is in it?

Hope it works out well for you! Manual trans FTW!

I wish I was lucky enough to be able to work on Laurel's wagon.
