Thanks everyone! I have a question for the masses...while gas mileage is awesome, I've decided not to do the b230ft(2.3L turbo) upgrade BUT, I'm seriously thinking of swapping out the 4spd manual for a 5spd. Any experiences, recommendations, thoughts?
Also, while the car was born a 4spd, the dash panel is for an automatic and I can't find a replacement dash for a manual. HELP!!! OH...I've replaced the steering wheel with a Momo Protippo! Thanks!

Hey Shaun!
Things are going well! Timing biz is progressing nicely, started obstacle courses for kids in elementary/middle schools, day camps, private parties and starting Boot Camps for adults! Hope all is well with you!!! NRD
