There was a dirty tranny in my back seat

and Noah and Adam lic'd it (ewwwww).

The guys at LIC did an awesome job on my 4EAT to 5MT conversion. Adam worked on the car until about 8:00 tonight, thats after having worked until 2:00AM the night before on another project! these guys are awesome and any other major work I need done will definitely be done by them.

and +a whole bunch to Noah for giving me a free half hour long driving lesson on the streets of Novato (I made it home fine obviously, but 19th was a bit of a *****)

oh, and thanks to everyone else that helped out with stuff.

-Brian (hp) for giving me a great deal on the vast majority of the needed parts.
-Jeff (ipozestu) for a great deal on a pretty much new RA geared/cryo treated tranny
-Bugeye (I forget your real name, sorry) for helping me out with the ECU and ABS module
-Noah for answering every single one of my questions (and there were a **** load) and thanks again for the driving lesson
-Adam and the other guys at LIC that worked on the car

I'm glad you are happy with everything and you made it home okay.

You've officially been LIC'd.

Thanks again,
Noah

I just transported it to LIC and left it there for a week, so you'll have to ask those guys for details

Ha Ha, I wasen't thinking we should of steam cleaned customer's tranny off for him. I guess if I wasn't crusin with him for 1 1/2 hrs trying to help him drive we could of done that

But I guess we suck and he ended up with his dirty tranny.

FYI- Has anybody ever seen the inside of MBasile's car? If so they would understand that it couldn't of hurt anything...ha ha (besides he had no back seat in)

HA HA...1 1/2 hrs, 45mins its all the same in my little brain

Glad to see you seem to be happy with the new upgrade, how is the driving going?

Is it becoming more fun, as opposed to a pain?

here is why LIC would be the wingman.
They took the dirty tranny out, gave you the clean tranny, and then put the tranny's back together so they wouldnt know the difference. In the end you got a nice clean tranny and they hooked you up.

Either way +alot to LIC

and yeah, the backseat probably was not phased by the tranny being back there.
