Re: And so it begins... 6 speed.

I will update tomorrow at approx 4:30 PST. I didn't bother calling today because Ken wasn't in, and I didn't want to hear some bad news of "oh no we didn't start." It's absolutely guaranteed to start tomorrow if they hadn't today. Entire swap will be done no later than Mon/Tues. I might post pics after its done... but I have a 300 mile break in on the clutch I'm going to have to do, and I won't have VTEC until I get the special swap harness off of Richie. I'll keep you all updated, I want to know about the progress as much as you all. I'd be there working on it every day, but I have college >_<

Make sure they do a good job. Most mechanics like to dick people's cars around and do a half a$$ed job. I had a bad experience with my 5 speed swap.

I doubt Ken's shop would..... Ken's a good dude from everything I've heard.



And Ken got a Cobra kit car btw?? :eekwtf: that's cool as hell.

Yea he did. I'm so excited to check that out! And don't worry, if Ken messes it up, I'm always able to go back and have him check it out again. He's a friend.

Re: And so it begins... 6 speed.

make sure you get Richie's New 5AT Harness. His old 4AT harness had major issues with Vtec and emissions.

But unfortunately, he's out of parts at this moments, and no harness will be available for another 1-2 months.... :(

But the good news is... i'm 3rd in line :)
