    Nice Work. When I do my T5 swap I want to do this with my shifter. But I'm not as talented of a fabricater or have the tools to do it so I'll be having to buy the $200 kit to do what you made.

    Is this just to get the shifter close to you? Nice work too.

    Finally found the water pump I should have put on last year. Set it on the hood until I have a day off to install it. Gotta make it to Knott's.

    This was yesterday but I moved it to the third bay of the garage where I have more room to play without risk of damaging my wife's car!
