I really want to see Gran Turino. If it's playing at the UC theater, that might be something to do on friday night. Probably want to order tickets in advance if we want to do that though. Friday night the theater is going to be packed.

Just put in my arc air diverter.. not sure how I feel about it. The stock piece is plastic the arc is metal. hmmmm.. oh well, the engine bay could use some bling i suppose.
I think the part I like best about it is the very poor english translation that is on the arc badge.

Waffles. Tasty delicious waffles.
So who's the person living / working in fremont with the white 8 with mazdaspeed side skirts and LED's in their fog/parking lights? I passed you in a VR at around 5:10 at the corner of willow st and central ave.

First of all it's Rotorsport
Second of all sell your car and go buy a manual one. Probably cost less than a swap.
This is why you do research before buying a car. The logistics of swapping a manual over, remapping the ecu and everything else. Not worth it.
On top of that you have the 197 hp rated auto motor compared to the 232 manual.
*face palm*
so you finally figured out you can't put a lightweight flywheel on an automatic eh?

the best way is to sell your current 8 and buy another one. that was exactly what i did back in 2005. i used to have an auto 2004 silver 8 with 22,000 miles, but got tired of it so i traded it in for a brand new 2005 white 8. i ended up only paying an extra $5k for the trade, but it was worth it. i would recommend you to do the same if you want to save the hassle on swapping trannies and stuff. also if you swap your gonna say bye bye to your warranty. just think of it like this... trade your car in and pay a little extra to get the manual tranny which you always wanted with warranty and also be able to have the option to reconsider a different color of the 8 you want.
