You and me think exactly alike. When the 5 speed breaks, get the 6 speed. Well now im going into my 2nd year in college. Who says college kids are broke? (not when you have a job that pays for half of your tuition!!!)

Can't wait to see the numbers you put out with this set up. If i had a 300 5 sp i'd be going with the performance mods, but right now I'm woking on the multimedia for the 400 and that should turn out pretty good by the end of the month.

I go to Kendall College in Evanston, IL. Its a good culinary school so its fairly expensive, and i do got a hella tight job. I work at IKEA. They treat their co-workers AMAZINGLY good. I cant even start to explain the benifits i have. and the pay is good too, even though now i wish it were more since im going week to week buying new parts when the check comes! LOL.

That's good to hear Kevin. Can't wait to see you start driving in snow when you get it all done. Hehehe. Perhaps we'll be done at the same time. We'll have to get a friendly race that I will win going. Hehehe.

Ok, to Lexcoupe and DirectQL, where did you guys pick up the Supra TT rims? i've been in search of them for a while and I really love how they look on the SC. What was your source and how much did you pay?
