Got my driveshaft and driftmotion diff adapter. These are the last pieces I needed so the manual swap will be happening very soon.

Manual swap was done a few weeks ago. Huge thanks to AkumaUCF10 for helping me troubleshoot some wiring issues I was having with the emulator. I have just over 1000 miles on the swap and the car feels great.

I ended up scraping the idea of using the sc300 handbrake and went ahead and installed an inline hydraulic handbrake. Also installed a Fabulous Luxury II steeeing wheel. Winter has came quickly so I now have time to re-do the look of the car. The plans are to get rid of the three piece wheels and go with a set of one piece wheels. I also grabbed a pair of fenders that will replace my chewed up ones currently on the car. I have gotten a kit through Version Select as well to go along with the changes for the next year. Here is a quick mockup of the front bumper.
