My training on the 5spd consisted of about 6hours over about 3 days. Had to learn quick cause I was driving it home on the 3rd day, 4+ hours. Of course highway is easy.

Good thing it has a newish clutch.... I'm still learning but getting the hang of it. I much prefer the manual to auto now.

Thanks for the info, I don't really plan on any major mods for it. Just curious as to what they are really. I was reading some of the info on g2ic.com and there's some good tips in there. When I washed it, I noticed that I got some water in the hatch. I'll check the things they suggested.

It's got over 155k miles on it... but it still runs nice and strong and is a nice quick, nimble, peppy car. :goodjob:
