doo ittt! i urge you lol.. i drove a stock 2000 5spd...(actually my teachers) and i fell inlove, also my atx shitted out already so i located the parts n got em. along with the 5spd swap, my hood and trunk are being painted gloss black, engine bay is being re-organized as well as the theme updated, all trays and brackets are being sandblasted tommorow, and either painted or pc'd

ive been kinda being lazy with the car when it comes to the engine bay, but ive decided its time to spruce it up within reason

ATX does suck. My 01 was sooo slow. It only felt kind of quick from 30-60, then it fell flat on its face.

You will love the MTX man! Great work.
