Thanks for the welcome guys

yeah. the steering wheel is off. the allignment isnt that bad, it still goes straight if i let go of my steering wheel. do any of you know if an allignment will fix this or does the steering wheel have to be removed and realigned?

I'm not a spoiled 6 speeder LOL. Actually, i found the front clip for really cheap. it cost me 1700 for the tranny, harnesses, dash, speedo, etc etc. pretty much everything minus the engine. spent another couple hundred on the motor/tranny mounts, and labor was 1000 total including all rewiring. my swap cost around 3k. now if i was to get another doomed 5at tranny, that would just mean spending 2500 on something that wont probably last me the life of the engine. Which one is the more sensible choice right?

Yea, it should be included with a standard alignment... I believe the right term is "clocking the steering wheel", any alignment shop can do it. (Doesn't involve removing the wheel)

If you have had the car with the wheel cocked like that since you got the car you really need to get it checked out by an alignment shop. If the tie rod ends just need to be adjusted back to spec(strait wheel) an alignment shop can take care of that with an alignment. Since yours is so far off center, I would really want to get it into a shop to make sure your tie rods arent bent or there is other suspension related damage asap. Go take care of it, it looks fugly.
