Joined the 6MT club....

Picked up a 2011 MW 6MT. Goodbye 2008 AG Sport... Went from auto to manual. Thought it would be more fun. It is in a way, still getting used to it though. Not beating it up too much yet. Love that it comes pretty much fully loaded and the front bumper. Clutch is smooth. Going to drop it and tint it soon. I need a rear spoiler badly... Where did you guys get yours? I had the tanabe fronts eibach rear setup which was ok. Might consider another setup. Can't go too low since I'm in the NYC area....

Congrats on joining the club, I'm still waiting for that perfect 6MT G37 to turn up, I'm pretty picky so it's hard to come by.

When I last checked, orderinfinitiparts.com had the spoiler (with backup cam) for around $475 shipped, give or take a little. The quotes from my local dealers has been right around $600 installed (or $100 if I supply the spoiler). Since the difference is about $100 and my car is still under warranty, I'm just going to have my dealer install it. I don't want them to come back with any crap later if my trunk/tail light have issues.

Congrats man and Pics or we do not believe you! Haha but seriously, you have now had both and seem a little reserved to say the MT is more fun and maybe the only reason you are not saying that it is not as much fun is that you currently just traded up for one... please explain your thoughts on the difference a little more if you can.

I guess since my last one had the drop, rims (CV-1's which I am currently putting up for sale), Borla exhaust, and little interior enhancements, it might be psychological. Also, just getting used to the shifting. With the 5AT, in sport mode it was responsive, and when I hit the gas it was go, no worried about gaps between shifting gears. I'm not a fast shifter yet, so there'll be a little gap between gears where the car is not getting any power. Can't shift as fast as an AT tranny.

Congrats man! You actually like the clutch? I really dislike my clutch, even after I took out the spring. I think it's the least sporty part about the car...

With enough practice, you can be just as fast as an AT. When I push the car hard, I'm only looking at about half a second to shift, which is about what the AT takes probably. You don't notice it in an AT because of the torque converter but they take time to shift too.

I'll post more later. I'm getting tints and drop tomorrow, and may have time to install the spoiler. Hope my borla exhaust fits from my 08 37S, if so, that'll be in on Sunday.
