redsupraman82 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) well as some of you know, i have been doing a N/A auto to a TT 5sp Manual swap. all by myself! im by any means not a mechanic but keep a logical approch to things and a lot of reaserch and help from here. i always wanted an aerotop and got her for a song! ( the guy really didnt know what he had) and it was begging for the conversion! so i hope this inspires anyone thinking about attempting it to just do it! it actually was not that hard, although installing the clutch pedal was a bit of a bitch!! so here is a before and after shot, i will do a full write up at some point. Enjoy and thank you to all those that helped especially Ryan G! Edited November 26, 2011 by redsupraman82 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sideexitsupra Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Is it me or is your intercooler not quite level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Is it me or is your intercooler not quite level? It's probably the bumper that's not level. I always hear of problems with the fitting of aftermarket bumpers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
