why are you keeping it an auto? to stay "pimpish"?

if your gonna go through thte trouble of doing a swap you might as well make it worth it. converting to a standard isnt that hard as long as you have some technical know how. i say buy a complete z6 or y8 5spd swap from a local junkyard buy a pedal assembly, clutch lines/slave cylender, rear mount and tranny mount and start yourself a nice weekend project that you'll be happier with in the long run.
