^^The video description says he's using a W6MAA trans. What is the W5M51 found in? A quick search suggests the Outlander, but I can't find concrete info.

He may be referring to the evoX manual... but im probably wrong.

Also that 4g is sick.

It's just the 5spd version instead of the 6spd for the same evo lol.

Side note:

The Transmission custom adapter plate cost $3200 USD and the Custom flywheel cost $800 USD.

I did the RUP to USD conversion... Wish I had access to this stuff, I would make for others lol.

Without reading much on this car, I can tell the owner spent a ridiculous amount of money to make a slow pig into a slow AWD pig. How can I tell? Vomit inducing paint job.

You guys must live under a rock. This car has been on the road for awhile now. As Pete said, he took a pig and made it an AWD pig and he did it the crappy/easy way too. The adapter plate requires a hell of a lot more custom parts than just a flywheel and it creates an even large offset in power distribution and destroys handling. That car weighs over two tons.

If you want to do AWD do it right. That costs a LOT.
