Mostly to avoid the ones who think they can do donuts in lowes parking lot when they are still open......

But everyone should definitely come. There are a few rx-7 guys who come(though their 7's are in peices). I need to see that new fd christian.

Anyone who wants to come just text me to make sure it is happening(It happens pretty much every week unless it is raining) 978-807-1394

Tomorrow I'm heading to Dave's house (don't know his handle here, but he drives a 10AE in autocross) to help him install some DTSS eliminators and camber links. I'm also going to raid his parts car. I need to get the UIM off of my FC and do some work underneath it.

WRX trans does not need an ecu i think thats only for the DCCD. If you want a six speed with out the DCCD you can get the legacy spec B trans.

Here is a link to the inside of a WRX trans:

Mid 03-2007 WRX They made the gears thicker in 03 no one knows the exact date that they started so to play it safe I would only look at 04-07 WRX trans. I don't know much about the 08+ wrx's so that may be a better choice I am just not sure.

I could not find any good pictures of the transmission in the car but try and picture it like this. Then engine sits in front of the front wheels and is arranged longitudinally like a normal rear wheel drive car. The trans mission the mounts to the engine in the same way it would on a rear wheel drive car. Now the front drive shafts exit the transmission case where you see the diff in that video; lining up with the front wheels. Where things might become difficult is the shift linkage does not go directly into the transmission like it would on a rear wheel drive car but is instead has a weird cable system.
