RE my PM, here are the photos below mate. As far as I'm aware, to make an auto ECU work in a manual car you just need to remove the 0 ohm resistor/bridge from the RP13 position on one side of the ECU's circuit board and then solder it into the RP14 position on the other side. It is pretty small though, so I'd recommend getting a place such as a tv repair shop to solder it if you don't have a steady hand. I didn't want to do mine so I got the bloke who supplied the ECU to do it :lol:

Sorry about the poor photo quality, I think I still had a 3GS when I took these :lol: I can go take some better pictures to help show the location more clearly if needs be :)

standard atr clutch is a good upgrade but it all depends on engine power and whether you drive it daily

I was looking at the CC stage 4 clutch but not sure if that's a tad over kill
