Any chance you would hook us up with some pictures of the clutch pedal and mounts ? also how you hooked up the master cyl and the firewall mount ?
The more I think about how clean you executed this, the more I think about the idea of doing a manual swap myself.

yeah i agree lets see some more pictures of the clutch master and slave setup ... what did you do about a tranny crossmember? is it cable clutch or hydraulic clutch? what are you going to do about a center console? what wires do you have to jump to disable the park start? i did a auto to manual swap on my eclipse and had to jump some wires to disable the park start, also had to redo the wiring for the reverse lights...

Something like that. Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been busy with work and the holidays. I just re-tuned the car and made 521hp and 465tq. So the car will be going in to paint soon. I am going to take it to a drift event at the end of the month to see how it handles. For all the guys that pm'ed me about the pedal set up I would post more pics of how I did it but unfortunately I did not take pics of it, to see what I did I would actually have to pull the dashboard back off. Sorry guys, well if I do end up pulling it off again I will snap some pics for cl members. Thanks for the compliments guys!!

Can you take some pics of the pedal assembly and bracket? Also love to see the reservior for the clutch fluid. I will be doing quite soon, as I just orded my 1ZJ bellhousing/flywheel and will be ordering a clutch this next weekend.

Twojayzee, if he doesn't come through with those pictures, I will have some pictures probably by mid next month. I should have my car drivable with the manual by then.
