Re: 6 > 4 [6spd + 3.2 swap]

The matching perf combo is a good look.

BTW, please be sure to do all the necessary red/gunmetal paint matching on the new engine.......plzkthnxbai4nao.

For sure. The engine covers will be gunmetal, with the factory red lettering (3.2 VTEC) and the chrome Acura emblem will be replaced with a chrome Honda emblem, and the Intake Manifold will be polished. The Neuspeed strut bar will stay polished. The polyurethane in the Innovative mounts are red. The new intake pipe will be gunmetal.

And right now I am waiting for my wheels to be finished, I'm quite eager to get them back. SO tired of riding on stock wheels...

Only a matter of time before that auto goes. I am kidding.

So I realized today that the red V6 badges I swapped onto the car from the 7thgens will actually mean something now.

^So it's solid through and through? That is good to hear, so it's basically the s2k knob but with perf leather, and a little bigger. Sweet, can't wait to receive it (will post pics when I do). You got me to get this knob man, repped.


Alright, Innovative motor mounts. I see there are different stiffness grades...to those of you who have them, what did you buy? Guessing street is all I would need.

$350

$269

$299 - Seller has wrong photo, sale is actually for 75A Track mounts (which are black I think?), but shows red (which must be either street or extreme).

ya, I got the 75A mounts they're great, they actually work better then the 60A mounts that wore out on me. Thers no additional vibration I think it actually handles it better then the 60A just like Tim at innovative said.

their service is kinda slow. They gave me bolts for the mouonts that were to short and they took almost a week to ship new ones out to me, I live like 25 miles from them -_-

all of those you just posted are for the 4 cyl motors.

I went with 60a, I wouldnt get anything more stiff than 75a, thats overkill imo.

btw, s2K knob ftw...I just got it today and the shifter is so much nicer than a non weighted light knob....

Yeah, i got this guy's Spoon knob know. Didn't realize it was going to be this light. It has a nice feel but it is as light as my plastic RSX knob.

I hope not. Her sister had a '99 that had a bad tranny, but I don't think that will be an issue with this one.

Anyone who knows Accords, should pick up on that....that there may actually be a reason for the red V6 badge.

Dang, how hard do you drive your car? I was going to go with the 60A ones.

Eric said the same thing about the bolts. Maybe when if I order from them directly I can just ask for longer ones? Is there a length I can just ask for?

Re: 6 > 4 [6spd + 3.2 swap]

mine were also too short. I just went to the hardware store and bought new ones.
